So I absolutely LOVE planning my kids birthday parties. We've had parties from a backyard carnival, to magic, to fairy flower garden. Personally, I'd rather have something at home rather than go to Chuck E Cheese, or a bounce place. However, what I find is that some parents aren't sure about planning a party because they don't know what to do.
This is where my idea came in - I'm kicking around the idea of starting a kids birthday party planning service. I'd have different levels of help from just sitting down and helping a mom plan the party, to going and picking up the supplies, to running the whole thing.
I'd like to get some feedback from the experts - Moms & Dads! First, do you believe this is something that there would be a demand for (in general of course. I know location specifics will vary)? Also, I just kind of threw together these ideas as far as price points, and do they seem reasonable?
