Embarking on the journey of planning a birthday party for your child can be a thrilling and fulfilling experience, especially when you're making eco-friendly choices. Circlarity Events Co. is your partner in creating sustainable and unforgettable celebrations with our Sustainable Sprouts (birth to 10 years) and Sustainable Saplings (10 to 17 years) party packages. Here's a comprehensive guide on planning a sustainable party for your kids, brimming with tips and ideas using our eco-friendly party packages.
Step One: Choose a Theme
Choosing a theme is the first step in planning any birthday party. At Circlarity Events Co., we offer a variety of themed packages for both Sprouts and Saplings. Whether your child dreams of a fairy tale adventure, an under-the-sea exploration, or a mystical unicorn party, we have a package to bring their imagination to life. Our themes are designed to be both fun and sustainable, using eco-friendly materials and decorations.
Step Two: Send Eco-Friendly Invitations
Traditional paper invitations can be wasteful, so we offer a convenient solution. Your party package includes a customisable e-invitation aligned with your chosen theme. The e-invite can easily be printed on recycled paper if you prefer physical invitations.
Step Three: Sustainable Decorations and Eco-Friendly Tableware
Decorations can set the mood for your party, but they don't have to harm the environment. Our party packages include:
- Reusable fabric bunting that can be reused repeatedly
- Plant-based plates, cups and cutlery, which, at the end of their lifecycle, break down quickly in compost
- Fabric tablecloths, table runners and napkins that add a touch of elegance and can be used again
- Cake Stands and cake toppers aligned with your chosen theme.
Step Four: Plan Sustainable Activities
Keep the kids entertained with fun and eco-friendly activities. Our party packages include:
- Copies of personalised colouring pages and pencils - great for both the Sprouts and the Saplings
- Pass the Parcel - made with reusable fabric bags
- Pin the tail on the... Game (personalised to each package)
Additional ideas could entail:
- Craft Stations: Set up craft stations with recycled materials where kids can make their party favours or decorations
- Nature Scavenger Hunt: Organise a scavenger hunt that encourages kids to explore nature and learn about the environment
- Eco-Friendly Games: Games like sack races with reusable sacks or musical chairs with recyclable materials.
Step Five: Eco-Conscious Party Favours
Send guests home with party favours that are kind to the planet:
- Seed Packets: Give out packets of seeds that kids can plant at home, promoting gardening and nature
- DIY Kits: Craft kits with materials to make their eco-friendly projects at home
- Wooden Toys: Circlarity Events Co. sells a range of small, inexpensive wooden toys like kaleidoscopes, magnifying glasses and spinning tops.Â
Step Six: Sustainable Food, Cake and Treats
Consider the environment when planning your party menu:
- Local and Organic Ingredients: Source ingredients from local farmers and choose organic options when possible
- Homemade Treats: Bake your cakes and treats to avoid excess packaging and ensure ingredients are eco-friendly
- Reusable Serving Dishes: To reduce waste, serve food on reusable platters and dishes.
Step Seven: Waste Management
Set up waste stations to ensure everything is disposed of properly:
- Compost Bins for food scraps
- Recycling Bins for any recyclable materials like paper and cans
- General waste for items that can't be composted or recycled (aim to minimise this as much as possible).
Step Eight: Engage and Educate
Use the party as an opportunity to teach kids about sustainability:
- Talk about eco-friendly choices: Explain to the kids why certain choices were made and how they help the environment
- Involve Kids in Cleanup: Encourage children to help sort waste into the correct bins.
Step Nine: Capture the Memories
Finally, remember to document the event:
- Photo Sharing: Remember to take many photos of your event and share them on social media. Please tag us at #CirclarityEvents so your photo can be featured on our website and social media, and give you a chance to win back the cost of your party package.
