You’ve booked the Synagogue. Now What? Now, it’s onto the planning of one of the most memorable parties your child’s life.

Things to Consider:

• How many parties will there be and who’s invited to each?
• Where will the parties be held?
• To cut some costs, perhaps consider having a children’s party on a Sunday afternoon and make use of our Game Room.
• What types of entertainment interest you-band, DJ, or instrumentalists?
• Would you like to add singers, dancers, clowns, mimes, comediennes, character actors, artists, magicians, etc
• Christina’s can help you find affordable entertainment options.
• Type of meal service and menu selection-buffet, sit-down, stations
• Kosher or kosher-style

Items to Consider in your Budget:

• Invitations & postage
• The Venue
• Food & beverage
• Music
• Entertainment & activities
• Flowers
• Balloons & decorations
• Photography
• Videography
• Party favors
• Fee to synagogue & clergy
• Gift for child
• Favors & toys

Cost Saving Strategies to Spread that Budget:

• Share the day with another child
• Have a weekday or Sunday event
• Use family members’ talents instead of hiring some service providers
• Have a luncheon or a brunch rather than a dinner
• Choose simple menus & items that appeal to children
• Consider balloons rather than elaborate floral centerpieces
