A skating party at a rink is a great destination party! (and one of the most popular ideas for parties of this sort. Other popular destination parties are bowling parties and movie parties.)
Destination parties are easy to plan. The activities and party games take care of themselves, because the location is the party activity.
Here are some helpful hints for your party:
Skating Party Hints and Tips:
If you are having a party, whether an ice skate party or roller skate party, you'll either need to have everyone meet you at the rink, or you'll need to provide transportation to get everyone there and bring them back to a pick up point. If that is the case, make sure you plan enough cars, parents and time for transportation.
If serving your birthday cake at the skating rink, great alternatives to cake are easy to serve cupcakes or a cookie cake. With these you don't have to worry about plates and forks - instead you just need a napkin for serving your treat!Forget the ice cream, it will be too hard to keep cool. No other snacks should be necessary. Bringing along a cooler with bottled water or juice pouches can be a great drink to serve easily.
There are also lots of really cute skating party invitations available at Amazon online because this is such a popular party!
I went to one ice skate party were the party favor was a book about Olympic ice skaters. I thought that was a really clever idea.
Other favors ideas could include candy, glow sticks or gift cards to a local ice cream or frozen yogurt shop for a free treat.
And, if you are having a slumber party, sometimes it is fun to leave for a little bit and go on an outing. If your skating is part of a slumber party and you are going ice skating, make sure you watch a fun themed movie, such as Ice Princess when you return. A fun slumber party craft would be to make snowflakes out of tissue paper!
Be sure to take lots of pictures of your child and their friends skating. It will be a great source of memories in the future, and a hard copy of everyone skating could be something nice to include with the thank you notes that you send after the party!
