All of my kids love Jo Jo the Clown, and my youngest one Linda is the biggest fan, so for her 4th birthday party, we decided to celebrate the festivity with a circus theme.
I didn't wish for just a Jo Jo party as all traditional circus-clown parties are, so we planned it out in such a manner that all things circus got involved.
I began planning the major event 6 weeks earlier than the exact date of her birthday. After deciding theme, first of all I hired a clown. And after this arrangement; next, I arranged the list of guests to be invited. For making invitations, I searched websites offering theme-supplies for parties and found custom-made invitations to be quite costly for as many as I required (30), so I prepared my own.
I used yellow postcards and pasted my daughter’s cutest photo in the middle, and for printing, I used my home pc colored printer. I had set for red so I purchased rolls of red, purple and yellow synthetic tablecloth from a sales shop. By altering all the three colors, I hung 3 of these cloths in row falling from our basement ceiling and then all around onto the floor. It really gave a touch of a big circus area and looked far better than I had imagined it to be!
I just arranged 2 group games since I know children at that age just want to play. To pin the nose on the joker game was $20 adding online shipping supplies charges so I prepared one of Jo Jo.
The second group game was Musical Tightrope. My hubby prepared the tightrope out of a two by four and I dyed the rope into red. I rented a kids' circus song CD from the nearby shop to play during the game. Theme parties are always cool to plan out. Mia won't have a great party like this every birthday as it demands lots of work, but it was a love every minute just to look at my daughter's joyful face.
She was smiling and giggling all through the party. I'm still receiving emails and compliments from friends about how much entertainment their children had on the day of party.
