About the Author

Martine Goodman has been organizing and attending children’s parties for

many years as a guest, parent, and grandparent.

She has seen costs soar and been surprised that many parties have become

even more lavish at the same time.

Martine wrote her book to give her readers simple ways to provide their

children with memorable and highly enjoyable parties without great costs or

lots of effort.

She said that the secret is focusing the party on the birthday child and their friends and taking each stage of the party a step at a time.

Martine has consulted her friends and family for their experiences, both good and bad.

She put everything she has learned about making children’s parties fun for

everyone, including the parents, into this ebook.

“I hope that my book will help parents avoid the errors and make every party a wonderful, low-cost and highly enjoyable event to remember.”
