How long should a boy birthday party last?

A party for a toddler should last 1-2 hours, while a party for an older child could be 2-3 hours.
Make sure you provide enough time for your guests to arrive, play games or do activities, enjoy snacks and cake, and open the presents.

When should I send out party invitations?

Consider sending out your invitations about 4-6 weeks before the party date. If you are throwing your party during a busy time of year (such as the holidays or summer vacation), you may want to send them out even earlier to ensure that everyone can attend.

What food should I serve at a boys birthday party?

Keep the party food simple and kid-friendly by serving food such as pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, and cupcakes. Keep in consideration any allergies or dietary restrictions your guests may have.
