*i'm still having second thoughts of hiring a clown/magician coz there were games that are themed related and not common during parties so if the clowns will be the one to handle the games i still have to brief them with the guidelines of the games and since they're not familiar with some of the games it might not be successful that's why i will just host the games and party itself. it will also not be worth hiring clowns if i'll still be the one hosting the games.
