Planning a children’s birthday party or holiday camp can feel overwhelming, but with the right tips and inspiration, it becomes an exciting adventure for both parents and kids. At UP Events Kids, we specialize in creating memorable, safe, and stress-free experiences for children aged 7 to 14 in Amsterdam and Weesp. In this kinderfeestje tips blog, we share the latest trends, creative ideas, and practical advice to help you organize the perfect event — whether it’s a birthday bash, a holiday camp, or a special group activity.

Why Experience-Based Parties Are the New Trend

Recent years have seen a shift from material gifts to experience-based celebrations. Parents are increasingly choosing activity-packed parties that create lasting memories, foster friendships, and encourage kids to try new things. According to local event planners, “The most memorable parties are those where kids feel included and engaged, not just entertained.” This focus on engagement and inclusion is at the heart of our approach at UP Events Kids.

Budget-Friendly Kinderfeestje Tips

Organizing a memorable party doesn’t have to break the bank. Here are some tips for keeping costs manageable:

• Book early: Popular dates fill up fast, especially weekends and holidays.
• Choose package deals: Our all-in-one packages often include drinks, snacks, and supervision, with discounts for larger groups.

Personalization and Sustainability: The Heart of Modern Parties

Today’s parents are looking for more than just entertainment — they want parties that reflect their child’s personality and values. Custom themes, personalized cakes, and unique party favors make each event special. Sustainability is also a growing trend, with families choosing eco-friendly decorations and activities like nature scavenger hunts or upcycled crafts.

As highlighted by the Young Eden blog, “Personalization and sustainability are at the heart of 2025’s party trends.” At UP Events Kids, we’re proud to offer options that align with these values.
