Toddler Birthday Party Dos and Don'ts:

Do keep it short. Knowing when to call it quits is one key to a successful toddler birthday

Do get your tot’s input. Make the big decisions for your toddler birthday party (like where and when) yourself, but let your little one have a little say

Don’t leave parents guessing. On the invite — along with the who, what, and where — be specific about when the party will end, whether you’re serving lunch

Don’t feel you have to entertain the adults. Of course the Miss Manners in you wants a good time to be had by all, big and small

Do say yes to help. Even Superman had Lois Lane. Enlist relatives and friends to help out on the day of the toddler birthday party
