Kids' birthday parties are more fun than adult(成人的) parties. You don't have to be so serous. And there are a few things for parents to remember when they want to hold a party for their kids.

　Make a list. Each kid wants different kinds of parties. Write down all your child's ideas on a piece of paper and then get things ready according to the list.

　Make invitations. Make sure you won't hold the party at the same time as your child's soccer game. Make sure you write down the name of each guest, so you will know the number of things you have to prepare, such as chairs and food.

　Buy something. If you go to a party store, it will have everything you need, and you won't have to go to different stores to get everything ready.

　You need to decide whether（是否） to buy a cake or make one. Make sure to get the food ready on time. Decide what kind of food to have. Pizzas, sandwiches and lunch bags with sandwiches can be good choices.

　You could have some soft drinks, such as lemonade and juice. Having a small bottle of cold water is a good idea, too, especially(尤其)during hot weather.

41. if you don't want to forget to do things for the party, you should______.
