TIPS & ADVICE

Party Format

A typical party is 2 hours long. This usually consists of one hour of disco and

games, 20 - 30 min food break, 30 - 40 minutes disco and games.

 

No/ few balloons

A lot of people, when they think of children's birthday parties, they immediately

think of balloons everywhere. Where this will look great at the start of the party

they can get in the way of the games and 90% of them will be popped by the kids

in the first five minutes. We recommend having balloons taped to the walls or

helium balloons attached to string and maybe some balloons on the floor.

 

As much space as possible

30 - 40 kids do take up a lot of space. So in order to make the games as great

as they can be, try to allow as much free space as possible for the games. You

can help do this by putting the food tables as far back as possible. That said

we will work around the space you provide so don’t panic if your venue doesn’t

have as much space as others. We will work around it and provide a great party.

 

Other Adults

Some adults drop their kids off and leave, others will stay for the whole party.

Set up seats around the outside of the room for the adults to sit on.

 

Check for sound limiters in the venue

Some venues have sound limiters which limit how loud you can to be.

These limiters are devices usually on a wall somewhere and they cut out

all the power in the building if you get to loud. Where as some limiters

‘limit’ is set quite high, some are set really low and will cut the power

just at the volume of kids screaming. We have done many parties in

venues with sound limiters and have found that, a lot of the time no one

knew there was a sound limiter so it cuts the power unexpected.

 

When this happens usually you either need to find the limiter to get the

power back on or it comes back automatically after a few minutes.

Though it is only a few minutes this can stop the atmosphere and break

the party mood. If there is a limiter in your venue, don't panic! As we said,

we’ve done lots of parties with sound limiters so we will just work around

it. It just might be worth finding out before hand if their is one so we

know to try not to set it of.

 

Song Requests

If you have any songs you really really want to hear then please let us know in

advance so we can make sure we have it.

 

Pinata

We don't do the pinata as a game at our parties, however if you want to get one

we will happily add it in. A lot of people do this but forget to tell us until the

parties about to finish. So feel free to get one, just let us know at the start of the

party so we can allow time for it.
