You have planned for your child\u2019s outdoor birthday party for weeks, and then, a few days before the party, the weatherman says it is likely to rain on your child\u2019s special day!\u00a0 What do you?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keep calm!  There are\nways to cope with rain and still have a great party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number One: Have a Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If the party was going to be at a park, rent or buy some tents to hold the party under.\u00a0 You can rent tents of many sizes from party stores. They are also inexpensive to buy from many sporting good stores, typically in a 10 by 10 foot size.\u00a0 If it doesn\u2019t rain after all, the tents will give you welcomed shade for everyone to enjoy and keep the birthday cake from melting in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jersey Jim has done many very successful comedy magic shows under tents in the pouring rain.  While it certainly requires some extra effort to stage shows under these conditions, in Jersey Jim\u2019s professional experience as the most entertaining family magician in Los Angeles, it also adds an element of excitement to the show and party.  Everyone feels like “we\u2019re in this together and we\u2019re making it happen for the birthday child no matter what.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the outside party was planned at your home, of course, the easiest thing to do would be to move the party and the Jersey Jim\u2019s Birthday magic show inside the house.\u00a0 Did you know that there are some birthday magicians who will not even perform magic shows outside?\u00a0 Jersey Jim\u2019s has designed his birthday magic shows to be performed either inside or outside.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you feel you don\u2019t have room for the magic show inside your home?  Jersey Jim has performed his birthday magic shows in very small apartments.  Perhaps Jim’s largest, Floating Child Extravagance floating child birthday magic show, requires a larger room, however Jim has many other birthday magic show packages that can be performed in very tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you don’t want your nice clean home to be trampled by 25 screaming kids and parents?\u00a0 That was the whole reason you planned the party to be held outside!\u00a0 In that case, another option is to clear out the garage.\u00a0 The garage is a great place to stage the birthday party in case of rain.\u00a0 Jersey Jim has performed many hilarious birthday magic shows in garages on rainy days.\u00a0 Many parents choose to hold the magic show in their garages whether it\u2019s raining or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If neither of these options work, you could choose to employ tents as we talked about earlier and use the cover of tents to still hold your party in the backyard.\u00a0 Jersey Jim has seen many parties conducted this way.\u00a0 Sometimes the tents are as big as the backyard itself!\u00a0 But the smaller, 10 by 10 foot tents,\u00a0 also work fine in this situation depending on how many guests you have.\u00a0 Covered patios are also another option to keep everyone out of the rain.\u00a0 By the way, tents are also a good idea to protect guests from blinding afternoon sun as well, which can also put a damper on the party fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thought, there\u2019s nothing wrong with getting wet!  The rain could be a fun part of the party if you choose to incorporate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jersey Jim has very personal experience with rain and\nbirthday parties and not just as the best birthday magician in the world.  Jersey Jim is a loving parent also.  Jim\u2019s son\u2019s birthday is in March, a very\nrainy month, and he has dealt with rain at his son\u2019s birthday party for many\nyears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number Two<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Reassure the birthday child that their party is still going to happen whether it rains or not!  Children are better able to accept things if they are not surprised.  Let your child know in advance that there might be rain on their party day and that it will be okay even if it does rain.  Tell them about the rain plan, and they will feel empowered by knowing what to expect.  This could actually be a good life lesson about how we all need to be flexible in life.  When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number Three<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your invitations say that the party will happen\n\u201cRain Or Shine.\u201d  You don\u2019t want no one\nto show up because they assume the rain means that your child\u2019s birthday party\nmust be canceled!  What could be worse\nthan no friends showing up for your child\u2019s birthday party?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put \u201cRain or Shine\u201d on all my son\u2019s birthday invitations, but there was still one friend who did not show up because, the father later told me, he thought the party must have been canceled because of the rain.\u00a0 He obviously did not read the invitation, but the good news is that everyone else did read the invitation, and all but one of my son\u2019s friends showed up for his party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
