As well as the yearly birthday parties, the book includes advice on other special occasions you may want to celebrate, including christenings. Packed with ideas and tips from both parents and experts, advice ranges from games and entertainers, theme ideas, catering, cakes and party bags to serving alcohol at teenage parties and how to stop furniture getting stained with drink spills! The book helps you live up to the expectations of your child, whether you're on a budget or splashing out, to give them the best party ever.
