Ready to stop feeling overwhelmed every time a birthday approaches?
Get the complete system I use to plan children’s birthday parties featured in HuffPost, Woman’s Day, NPR and top party blogs — without the $1,500+ cost of hiring a professional planner.
And if you’re already thinking:
“I don’t have time to take a course — I barely have time to plan this party.”
Exactly. That’s why the course IS the party planning.
Every lesson comes with a homework assignment, and each assignment moves your actual party forward — the course is not “extra work” on top of your party. The core lessons are just over 2 hours total, with step-by-step instructions for everything you need to do. So the time you spend in the course isn’t time away from planning your party — it’s focused, guided time toward it.
Finish the course, and your party’s done.
Here’s everything you get inside the course:
15 step-by-step Video planning guides
The exact framework I’ve used to plan hundreds of parties, broken down into simple, actionable steps you can follow for any theme, any age, any budget.
Watch over my shoulder as I walk you through each planning phase, sharing insider tips and common pitfalls to avoid.

What Moms Say
“Everything you could possibly need to plan the perfect party. I’ve been hosting themed parties for all three of my littles for the past few years and still felt like I was stumbling through the logistics of timing, food, desserts, and all the little details beyond making it “look good. ” The Party Course answered all my questions and more, I’m already prepping for the next party and feel so much more confident and less stressed than the others. 10000/10, highly recommend.”
“Highly recommend this course! This course made me so excited to plan my son’s next birthday party, which is a task that I had been dreading! I love how Jennifer made everything sound so easy and accessible. She includes TONS of practical information and shares personal recommendations that just make sense. Her lesson on party styles was mind-blowing, and it’s helping me narrow down my son’s theme idea (under the sea) while maintaining our personal preferences. This is a wonderful course for anyone planning a party!”
My Promise:
Fill out the checklists, and your child’s birthday party will be planned by the time you finish the Party Course.

Like you, I started my party planning journey as a mom who wanted to create something special for my kids. Before my twin girls’ first birthday, I stood in the party store feeling completely lost — sound familiar?
Since then, I’ve spent years discovering what really works (and what doesn’t) in children’s party planning. I’ve helped thousands of moms create celebrations their children love, and now I’m excited to share these tried-and-true strategies with you.
In 2011, I founded The Party Teacher. In this course, I’ve packaged everything I’ve learned into straightforward, practical steps that any busy mom can follow to create the best birthday ever.
As Seen On
What Moms Say
“I never knew how easy and fun it could be to plan a professional-looking children’s party until I took The Party Course! Jennifer really over-delivers in this class… I can’t believe how many clever tips she teaches.”
“Very informative. I love the Brainstorming part. I love the layout and the short videos. I love your story of how you got started. It gives hope to us non-planners!”
“Jen’s expertise was INVALUABLE. I saved time, I saved money, I saved major headaches, and the party was a big hit! It was worth every penny and then some!”

What makes this different from free party planning resources?
While there’s lots of party inspiration online, the Party Course provides a structured system that takes you from initial concept to party day.
