Tips & Warnings
Check the Yellow Pages in your area to see if there is a "clown college." You would be surprised at the number of cities where a course to become a professional clown is offered. You may be able to get a "student clown" to come and practice for your clown-themed party.
Limit the sugary snacks that you will serve at your clown-themed birthday party. You don't want the children bouncing off the walls from a sugar high.
