When you plan a birthday party for your children, you want to ensure that it's a memorable day and your little one has a great time. While there are no guarantees, you can do a few things to make it more likely that your child has a great birthday party. 

Here are some entertainment options for a child's birthday that put the odds in your favor that their party will be a success:

Friends and Family

It might not seem like entertainment, but the guests you invite to your child's birthday party are essential to the fun. Even if you hire the best entertainers in the world, your child won't have as much fun if they're not around their favorite people. Therefore, you must invite the right guests, including their friends, favorite cousins, etc., because that's what they'll care about the most. 

A Theme

Young children love having a special theme for their birthday parties—typically based on their favorite shows, movies, books, etc. You can design the room with decorations that fit the theme, the kids can all wear costumes, and you can get a cake featuring their favorite character. It will help your child feel like it's a special celebration and not just a typical day.

A Destination

One option for entertainment on your child's birthday is taking them to a particular destination. Rather than having a traditional birthday party at home or a function hall, you can bring them and their guests somewhere fun. You could take them to a bowling alley, arcade, movie theater, trampoline park, etc., and some places may even have options for birthday groups that include food and drinks.

Performers

Some parents decide to hire performers for their kids' birthday parties—they might hire a clown, a magician, people who wear costumes, etc. It's a great way to entertain your child for their birthday, and it doesn't take much effort on your end. They'll also come to you, so you won't have to travel anywhere to see them perform.  

A Play Area

One issue that some children have with birthday parties at home is there aren't enough fun activities. You could set up a play area with all their favorite activities so they always have something fun to do and won't just be running around aimlessly. You could rent a bounce house or other inflatables or have squirt guns, water balloons, etc.
