However, don’t forget about the parents.And secretly, you know you want to have fun as well, right? Of course! Just because we are parents doesn’t mean we don’t know how to have a little fun. Because if we make this a total yawn fest for the grown-ups, they may not come back next time. Let’s try and avoid having parents counting down the minutes in their head until the party is over.Let’s make this fun for the kiddos and parents alike. 

Hosting any kind of party isn’t easy. Besides, you may not necessarily know all the parents very well or maybe not at all. While you may try your best to start small talk with everyone, there may be moments of awkwardness for sure. However, with the right kiddie party theme and structure, you can turn this little shindig enjoyable for grownups as well. 

Tips for an Adult-Friendly Kiddie Party 

Try any or all of these tricks to make your next kiddie party adult-friendly too: 

1. Include a photo booth 

Parents love to create memories with their kids, so an open-air photo booth with various props is a good idea. A DIY photo booth is also cool. Offer to take photos of parents and their kids on their smartphones. 

2. Have someone run the crafting station 

If you plan to include a crafting session for the kids, have someone else run this station. This way, you and the other parents don’t have to be involved. The grownups can enjoy the parent space while the kids are having fun making bead stuff and all. 

3. Designate a parent space 

Having a parent space is probably the best idea for an adult-friendly kiddie party. You can set up chairs with a center table for the adult foods and drinks. Assume that one parent will join each kid or confirm their attendance prior to the party. This way, everyone gets seated. Just make sure that the parent space is conveniently located close to the kid’s area. This exclusive space is a perfect crowd-drawer. Plus, it gives the adults time to mingle with each other. 

4. Serve adults foods 

Put some parent-friendly party snacks on the parent space. Think about cheese, fruit, or veggie platter. Want some pizza? How about some white pizza with broccoli? The grownups will love ‘em for sure! 

5. Serve adult drinks 

Forget about cocktails and beers because you would definitely want to keep the atmosphere child-friendly. Get the coffee brewing on the adult space. Tired, coffee-lover parents will greatly appreciate a cup of coffee. Want something new? Why not try serving bottles of Health-Ade Kombucha? Kombucha is undeniably a trending beverage and first-timers will definitely enjoy it. Plus, it’s a good conversation starter! 

Keep the Kiddie Party Simple 

Keep in mind that kids love to play and explore by nature. Hence, by keeping the party simple, they won’t need much assistance from their parents. This way, kids and parents can separately enjoy the adult-friendly kiddie party!
