Forget the clichéd bouncy castles and clowns. This year, try a Karaoke party! Here's how you can prepare a fab Karaoke party for your kid/s:
Make fancy Invitations
Send out invitations to your child's friends that'll make them feel like popstars. You can set the tone for the VIP treatment with invitations that resemble a backstage pass. You can even have customized arena ticket-like invitations or flyers. MisMach Creations are known for their custom made invitation cards. +254 701 865157.
Hire Karaoke Equipment
You can hire a professional to come out and set up everything you need for your party. They will run the equipment and encourage guests to participate; a hype (wo)man of sorts. Kiddie Karaoke promises the ultimate experience. Kid-friendly music selection and curated games for your audience  0720 765715.
Decorations
A karaoke party is all about the stage. You can use an elevated platform, add music note stickers and helium balloons, and the whole shebang! Or you can simply tape off a section of the floor and get some stage curtains and a decorative backdrop. Just give kids enough room to stand, sing, and maybe shake it up with a few dance moves. Party flavour has some nifty decorations. 0780 742002.
Serve Karaoke-themed Food 
A kid's birthday party is not complete without cake! You can serve kids karaoke themed cakes such as a microphone cake cone, a piano cake or a guitar cake. Or decorate glitter-frosted cupcakes with musical notes. Tamima Tam Tam's  are wildly popular for their customized cakes. +254 718 222669.
Favors
Send your performers home with a rocking reminder of the good times. Some fun ideas for karaoke party favors include:
  • Glow bracelets
  • Sunglasses
  • CDs that include some of the songs from your karaoke playlist
  • Inflatable guitars and microphones
Rubyz Playstore is a great plug for party favors for kids. 0729 777763.
