Want to surprise your child, team, or family with an amazing holiday party they’ll never forget? Work with the expert party planners at Parties for Peanuts for a customized holiday, or reward party! We are professional party planners in New Jersey, and we have so much to offer! Many people call asking for our “standard” holiday package and we have to let them know—there is no “standard” in such a highly customized field! We create unique, memorable experiences at your parties, and we’re sharing our favorite tips for an all-ages party right here.

Age Appropriate
Especially around the holiday times, your holiday party must be age-appropriate. You know that your two-year-old niece may love a party full of singing, dancing princesses, but what about your tween? Action and adventure characters may be more popular, and can work better for this age group. Even more, the types of activities that party-goers of different ages will enjoy will vary, as well as goodie bags, snacks, and choices of music.

Special Additions
For party-goers of all ages, you do best to meet their specific interests and to offer fun things they won’t find elsewhere. Fortunately, great party planning companies in New Jersey, like Parties for Peanuts, offer a variety of holiday themes and events. Snack your way through our popcorn machine, have a special holiday character visit your event, or schedule great music to match your theme.

All About You!
The most important thing about planning a great party? Make it all about your guests! Unlike visiting an amusement park or other activity, where the fun is designed for everyone, your private holiday event in NJ is all up to you! Use this opportunity to bring out the magic in the experience and create a one-of-a-kind event that will be talked about for years!

The team at Parties for Peanuts is always eager to customize your party experience so everyone has the best time possible. This holiday season, enjoy visits with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and a North Pole Elf, or start planning your 2019 parties today!

A party just isn’t a party without some great food! While Parties for Peanuts is not a caterer, we love to help party-planners to think of creative ways to enhance the theme of their birthday, holiday, or other party, ensuring that all guests will have a great time! One of the most common questions that we get is “what should we feed the kids?” In a world filled with allergies and lawsuits, here are some simple tips from your favorite party planning team in New Jersey!

Ask a Parent
Our first and best tip for feeding kids at holiday parties is to ask their parents! When you send invitations, consider adding an extra request to the RSVP and ask that parents notify you of any allergies, food sensitivities, or limitations. If you know everyone closely, you likely already have this information, but if not, it can be a good time to get to know distant relatives and your children’s friends’ parents a bit better.

Clearly Label
Some people don’t RSVP, and some surprise guests may show up to make your party even better. How to prepare for this? Label your foods and drinks clearly! This can include everything from the name of the dish to clear labels indicating common allergens or food sensitivities, such as gluten or peanuts. If you know you have a child with a peanut allergy attending, consider clearly labeling any nut-containing dishes with a picture of a peanut as well as words, since people often notice pictures more easily.

Offer Variety
Even for those without food sensitivities, variety is your best bet. This means having a variety of beverages, snacks, desserts, and main courses, if you are serving those. We suggest offering friendly snacks, such as popcorn from our popcorn machine, or renting our cotton candy or snow cone machine. Even better, we can work out colors and flavors to match your theme if you let us know!

A great party depends on many things, and the snacks are one of them! For a great party this holiday season or throughout the year, contact Parties for Peanuts.
