Planning a birthday party is no small task. There are so many things to decide and do that you really need to stay organized or it can get a little bit stressful.
Here’s the birthday party to do list that I use every time I plan one of my kid’s birthday parties.
It comes as a 3 page download, and includes 2 planner pages for you to fill out and check off, and a list of some of the most common tasks you might need to take care of as you’re planning.

Or, just use the third page, which is already filled out with common birthday party to dos.
