Party Schedule & FAQ

Party Schedule

Below is a sample schedule of our 2 hour standard party booking (Fairy, Unicorn & Princess. Barbie, Ballet & Mermaid Parties) - Please refer to our Glitz and Glam page for their party schedule

On arrival you are welcomed by your party host, dressed in costume to your theme.

The craft, activity or BYO games are run first, children sit at the tables with the adults so that the day becomes more interactive. The craft is explained and runs approx. 1 hour.

At the same time our in-house Face Painter takes each child in throughout the activity/craft session for face painting

The finished crafts are set aside and the children go outside to do bubble waving under the veranda. At the same time the tables are cleared and the party food is put out on the decorated buffet table. Children are called back in and they partake in the food choices that the parent has had catered or brought on the day.

We sing Happy Birthday to the Birthday child, the cake is cut and handed out to all.

Tea/coffee is also given to adults and juice for the children. Often there is a platter or nibbles provided by the parents for the adult guests too. Or we can organise platters for the adults.

Food is cleared away and its time for present opening.

Although we are not photographers we do take some photos throughout the event and you are welcome to take your own. We set up a themed photo wall for group photos and supply fun props. Any photos we take will be supplied after the event.
