Turning three is a big deal, and while your child may have no memory of this, it’s still important to earmark this milestone with an amazing celebration. Planning an amazing birthday party for your toddler may be overwhelming, especially when you have no idea where to start. 

To make this process more seamless and enjoyable, we’ve curated ten fun and engaging ideas that will have your little one looking back at the pictures with glee. From magical themes to interactive activities, there’s something here for every child. 

But first, let’s simplify your responsibilities even further. 

Planning a 3rd birthday bash might break you if you let it. So, don’t. There’s so much to figure out, and catering shouldn’t be one of them. You don’t need to design a menu based on your guest list’s dietary requirements and food allergies. Nor should you shop for the ingredients, prepare the cuisines and serve them all while figuring out the party’s theme, decor and entertainment. You can hire a yhangry birthday caterer and experience bliss. 

At yhangry, we connect you with the industry’s finest, in-demand private chefs. These private chefs and culinary experts will work tirelessly to help you throw the 3rd birthday party of the decade. With every option in the book, from charcuterie boards to BBQs, food trucks, wine pairing, kid’s menus, and so much more, our birthday caterers will set the tone of elegance at your child’s 3rd birthday party.

A fairytale ball is excellent for a child’s 3rd birthday party. The colourful costumes and decor will excite and mentally stimulate the little ones.

For catering, a fine dining experience featuring “dragon” fruit skewers and crown-shaped sandwiches would suffice. Luckily, our birthday caterers have this on lock.
