Ruling pens allow precise adjustment of line width, and still find a few specialized uses, but technical pens such as the Rapidograph are more commonly used. Modern types include ballpoint, rollerball, fountain and felt or ceramic tip pens. Party favors are a nice touch but don’t need to be extravagant. Small, thoughtful gifts like homemade cookies, a small toy, or a craft kit are appreciated. Alternatively,
the craft activity the children do during the party can double as their party favor, such as a decorated tote bag or their finished art project. On the day of the party, give yourself at least an hour to set up before guests arrive. Have all your supplies ready, including a cake knife, lighter/matches, napkins, and bin bags. A designated table for presents and a large bag to carry them home in are also helpful. With careful planning and a focus on fun, you can host a successful and stress-free birthday celebration.
