## Prompt

```text
Help me plan my child's birthday party.

**Child's age and interests:** [AGE; favorite things]
**Number of kids and adults:** [ROUGH COUNT]
**Budget:** [AMOUNT]
**Location:** [home, park, rented space; indoor or outdoor]
**Date, time, and length:** [DETAILS]
**Must-haves or no-gos:** [allergies, dietary needs, no sugar overload, sensory sensitivities]

Give me:
1. 3 theme ideas that fit the interests and budget, then build the plan around the one I pick (default to the first).
2. A minute-by-minute schedule for the party length, with arrival, 2-3 activities, food, cake, and wind-down. Keep it realistic for this age's attention span.
3. Activities and games with materials and simple rules, plus one quiet option for kids who get overwhelmed.
4. A food and drink list with quantities for my guest count, labeled for common allergens.
5. A budget table: Item | Estimated cost | Cheaper swap. Use [ESTIMATE] and tell me to check local prices.
6. A countdown checklist: 3 weeks, 1 week, day before, party day.
7. Invitation text with RSVP and allergy question.

Include basic safety notes (supervision for water or trampolines, choking hazards for under-4s, balloon caution).
