Children’s parties stress out parents - it's official!

publication date: Dec 5, 2007

Three quarters of British mums find organising a child’s party stressful and just over a quarter feel under pressure to throw bigger, better parties each year according to a recent survey undertaken by children’s party organisers Les Enfants.

The survey questioned what mums think about a range of party-related issues, from how much to spend, what food to serve and the thorny issue of party bags – 53.3 per cent of those who replied are still in favour of them - with the intention to provide guidance to stressed out mums who are unsure where to start.

Katie Burnett, founder of children’s party specialists Les Enfants commented: “It can be difficult, especially if you work full time and don’t get to spend much time chatting to other mums, to know what children like and what will work.

"Mums feel under pressure to make sure their children have a good time, but also to be doing the right thing in the eyes of other parents. It gives a whole new meaning to party politics.”

To help parents plan their next party, Les Enfants has created a free Complete Guide to Successful Children’s Parties, which can be downloaded from www.lesenfants.co.uk or a printed version can be posted out to you.
