When we go to a brief and are asked to set up for a party, you hold your breath hoping to get an immediate vision to help your client. This brief that we received was for colour and intimacy as the event was small. Immediately, because of the colour involved, we were able to mix and match all the rainbow colours in our partyware and decorations to create a blast of pop, pow and wham.

The food served was all simple fruit, snacks and the winner for all guests was superhero sprinkle bread. The magnificent chocolate cake was a superhero winner, simply decorated with a superhero mask. Dress ups were the stand out with superhero capes stealing the show.

Fabulous colourful popcorn boxes filled with lollies, small pinwheels, water pistols, superhero tattoos and crayons with a take-home star, superhero garland to delight and hang in superhero bedrooms.

Our take-home memory was a gift given of an inflatable Batman and an evil Spiderman.

Although this party was small, it worked well as attention to detail and extras like a jumping castle and a Batman character bought this little affair to big heights.

Yes, the smiles on their faces are worth every moment spent preparing and then that joy comes right back at ya!

We did a 21st a while back for the sunniest of girls and it was a reasonably big affair. A photographer was hired and although that cost hurt the budget, the resulting photos have given many more happy times with every look.

You don’t need a photographer unless you want one and with today’s iPhones, you can get some spectacular photos of your little one’s party or event that keep your memories alive. These photos may one day remind them they actually had awesome childhood parties and can thank you for that. (my kids recently have).

What really matters is the fun of planning, that it goes off without too much of a hitch. That is where we can help, with advice, supplies or styling the whole party kit and kaboodle.

Here are a few things that a kids party can help your child learn.

1/ that children learn how to be organised.

They do this from the moment you help them plan what their party will be, then deciding on their friends and getting the invitations out. Then it’s just fun and probably you, who completely take over while they are excited and just party.

Being a guest at a party means their skills start when they receive the invitation, they can be involved in choosing a present, arriving on time, then there are party games, eating times, gift giving and finally the farewell. (this is usually met with lot’s of “but i don’t want to go yet”)

They have learned that everything even parties has a time plan and an ending.

2/ that children learn to socialise.

All parties big or small have one thing in common, that everyone should enjoy them. So everyone must learn to mingle by giving the gift to the birthday boy or girl, joining in on games or a movie and getting to know the other kids. Or even talking to adults at the party, helps them with these skills.

3/ that children learn behaviour.

Kids can be out of control and over the top (that’s just being a kid) it takes you, to let them know that there is a limit to their actions and with their behaviour in check, the enjoyment they experience is back on track.

So ……kids parties are an important part of growing up but what a fun way to do it.
