If you're holding a kids party and not sure what to serve or how. much, here are my top tips:
1. If holding over lunch time then include savoury such as sandwiches, wraps etc as well as snacks and sweet treats. Make them easy and quick to eat for little fingers with a variety of flavours. Be aware that the parents probably haven't eaten so may sneak some too, so if you can afford it and are happy to, then you can provide an adults food table with quiches, dips, biscuits and fruit.

2. If holding mid-afternoon, you only need to provide snacks as your guests will have had lunch, but its always good to offer savoury/healthy too otherwise you've got 30 sugar fuelled kids to contend with.

3. Its very normal to over cater, but go on the basis of half a sandwich per child (2 squares or triangles) a handful of crisps, a small amount of fruit and veg (the adults tend to put lots on kids plates, but a lot ends up going in the bin) and however much sweet stuff you have is unlikely to go to waste so fill your boots depending on your numbers.

4. Make sure you have drinks available at all times, normally a mix of squashes as well as water and hot drinks for the parents (I've also been to parties with Prosecco and beer, these are my favourite ๐Ÿคฃ)

5. In my opinion, it's always best to have it as a buffet style rather than boxed up individually as this way people can take what they need rather than not have a choice. Although, one party for my son we decided to cook loads of sausages at home and then transfer to a slow cooker to keep them warm and let people build their own hot dogs. This was so cost effective and simple.

6. Label food so people can determine what their children can eat if they have allergies. Make sure you ask about dietary requirements and provide appropriate like to for like food.

I've noticed a big decrease in borrowing for party supplies over the past year.
It's making me wonder: are people hosting fewer parties because of the cost of living, or has sustainability taken a back seat in people's priorities compared to just two years ago?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Are you finding sustainability less of a focus when planning parties, or is there another reason behind the reduced borrowing for party essentials?

Here's the secret.............
Let your child be your guide!
Ask them if they want a big bash with lots of friends or a smaller, more intimate gathering. Their preference will help you decide whether to go all out with a hall rental or keep it cozy at home, or even treat them to a fun activity out and about. ๐ŸŽ‰

But here's another important tip: only invite as many guests as suits your budget. ๐ŸŒฟ Don't go into debt or spend beyond your means. Memories of birthdays can be made regardless of your budget, and it's definitely not a competition. What your kids will remember most is their cake, maybe a gift or two, but mostly feeling happy and loved surrounded by those who matter most.

Lou is a regular customer and each year she gives me Jasper's chosen theme and I work my magic to create something bespoke.

This was a Princess & Knight party which even included a visit from Rapunzel from

I absolutely love seeing the smile on Jasper's (and all the children whose parties I decorate) face when they see it.

The wise words of millennial women's favourite, Leonardo DiCaprio (ahh how many times did I rewatch Titanic as a teenager!?)
Now he said this quote a good few years ago now, and time is really running out.
Climate change isn't a far off, distant thing headed our way, but something that is happening and is visible.

Forest fires, monsoons, 'unseasonable' climates they are all products of climate change.

What we need is governments and corporations to start making massive changes but everything we do can also help.

Recycling has been peddled as a saviour but it should be the last case scenario.
Borrow, share, reuse, remake, repair or upcycle should be the first things we think of whenever we need some 'thing'. But more than that, do we really need to buy everything we buy?

I love when he urges the public to think "Do I really need this?" And if you want something, wait a month before buying it to really think it through.

It's too easy just to buy stuff but it has use precious resources to get made and then what happens at the end of its life? There is no away.

Particularly in the days of Temu, Shien and Amazon, we are sold 'stuff' all the time and if we buy stuff they make another one to replace it. We are all responsible for what is made on this earth.

So I know, this is a bit of a soap box moment, but if I can just get one person to really reflect on what they buy and whether they really need it, I would be happy. What we spend our money on, is putting out there what kind of world we want to live in.

For me, I just want to know there is a world for the generations to come.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, well done for making it to the end!

The votes have been counted and verified:
58 votes to Hayesdown First School. So they will be receiving the 2024/25 charity donations from every kit hired. ๐ŸŽ‰

Thanks all for voting, it's really important to me to help the local PTA's where I can because they are the beating hearts of school and in the last few decades school funding has been splashed repeatedly by our governments so they often pick up the slack to help pay towards equipment, trips and much more helping all children get the same opportunities as their peers. Thank you so much for all your hard work PTA members, sorry that I never supply cakes for the bake stalls (believe me, you wouldn't be able to sell them!)

Don't leave it too late, or it will be stressful. Here's my tips to help you ace the celebration game! ๐Ÿ“†โœจ

๐Ÿฐ Venue: In and around Frome slots for village halls and the like Book really fast. You need to book at least 3 months in advance, but for busy seasons like Spring and Autumn, aim for 4-5 months to ensure you snag your dream spot! ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ‚

๐Ÿคนโ€โ™‚๏ธ Entertainers: the same goes for entertainer's, lock them in early โ€“ 3 months ahead is a must, but for peak months, give yourself 3-5 months to guarantee availability! ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŽ€ Decorations and Tableware: Ok so this one is obviously a bit biased, but if you'd like to hire tableware, decorations and games from me then message at the same time as booking your venue and entertainers so I can make sure you get what you need. You'll only have to pay a small deposit to secure your spot.

๐Ÿ’Œ Invitations: Spread the joy in style! Send out those invites a month before the big day to give your guests plenty of time to RSVP. Pro tip: E-invites are the way to go, making it easier for your friends and family to reply quickly and save on paper and ink ๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ’ป

Remember, the early bird catches the party vibes!

Start planning ahead and get ready for a celebration to remember! ๐ŸŒŸ

You might not like hearing this, but kids parties need to be booked earlier than you think. Here is my top advice for planning your kids big day:

๐Ÿฐ Venues: Secure the perfect space for your little one's big day! Book at least 2 months in advance, but for busy seasons like Spring and Autumn, aim for 3-5 months to ensure you snag your dream spot! Frome venues get booked super quick!๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ‚

๐Ÿคนโ€โ™‚๏ธ Entertainers: Make sure your party has the WOW factor! Lock in those entertainers early โ€“ 2 months ahead is a must, but for peak months, give yourself 3-5 months to guarantee availability! ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽ‰

Pro tip: E-invites are the way to go, making it easier for your friends and family to reply quickly!

Remember, the early bird catches the party vibes!
Start planning ahead and get ready for a celebration to remember! And if you want to book a FEPK party kit, decorations or party bags then you can do so at any time with just a small deposit. But again, Spring and Autumn are my busiest months so make allowances for that if you have March - May or Sept - Nov parties to plan.

As crazy as it seems, party venues and entertainers can book up months in advance in Frome, particularly in the Spring and Autumn months.
To make your celebration stress-free, my advice is to book your chosen venue and/or entertainers at least 3 months before, longer if you can.

Then start planning the other party details 4-6 weeks in advance. This includes exploring themes, games, invites and party bags etc

That sunshine was just so good to see, we had to get outside so when my youngest asked if we could go litter picking I said yes.

We had fun splashing around in the river, got two full bags and managed to recycle most of the stuff but it is shocking how many people drop or chuck. An electric toothbrush and numerous vapes were among the haul.

But it did make me think of a free half term activity you lovely lot might want to join in on? How many Frome families can we get picking one bag of rubbish up from your local area during the next week?

You don't need fancy stuff, a bag litter picker (or gloves if you don't have one) and maybe a flask of tea and a brownie to have as a motivational treat!

The fabulous have even installed a litter picker station outside the library so you can borrow their ones (make sure you take them back for others though)

And to add a little motivation, anyone who takes part in or around Frome, if you share a photo or video of your haul tagging and using the hashtag I'll enter you into a competition for a free party kit hire!

Are you fed up with bin liners full of single-use party decorations?
Are you frustrated with paper plates and cups getting soggy and things falling off because they are structurally ridiculous? (Ok that one's a bit niche, but a heavy plate of sandwiches and treats in the hands of a 4 year old often ends up on the floor, doesn't it?!)

Frome Eco Party Kit is your go-to for smashing the disposable party scene.

We've got everything you need for your kids parties (and adult ones) in one box.
Plates, cups, food platters, jugs, serving bowls, bunting and loads of extras like cutlery, decorations and games.

Plus, it won't cost you an arm and a leg compared to the throwaway stuff.
Plus, our gear is designed for the long haul, so you can party without guilt!
We've already saved more than 23,000 single-use party items from becoming landfill fillers.
Go green and party hearty with us!

Olaf loves cake! ๐Ÿฐ
Our themed decoration kits can be hired in two ways:
1. I come and set it up, return to dismantle and take away for cleaning.

2. You can self-set up, tidy and clean.

I love setting up and seeing the transformation myself but I also love seeing how customers use the decorations to decorate the space too as everyone uses them differently.

This at-home party decided against the backdrop so that light wasn't blocked from their conservatory but they made use of the stand with other items from the box and particularly loved the character cutouts of the frozen friends.

All of our themed decoration kits are available to hire and if you don't see the theme you're looking for, just ask, I can create most themes!

Parents, do you hate going to kid's parties?

Well if you do (and its common!) make sure you do a little planning to make sure your child's party is fun for the grown-ups too! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽŠ
Here's how:

1๏ธโƒฃ Comfortable Seating: Provide tables and chairs for parents to relax and mingle, I often see chairs lined up around the room but this isn't conducive to conversation.

2๏ธโƒฃ Refreshments for All Ages: Stock up on snacks and beverages that appeal to both kids and adults. It doesn't need to be excessive, some biscuits, fruit or cheese and crackers etc are great options.

3๏ธโƒฃ Parent-Approved Tunes: Keep the playlist diverseโ€”something for every age group! Let the parents enjoy the music too. BUT if its a very big and busy party but isn't a disco, consider not even having music unless you need them for games to prevent it being too loud and overstimulating for everyone.

4๏ธโƒฃ Greeting: Make sure there is someone at the door to greet people. This is really important as it can be very daunting, particularly if a parent and child doesn't know many others to know who is running the party and sometimes, who the birthday child even is. You can explain to them about how the party will work, where the toilets and drinks are.

5๏ธโƒฃ Share the Cake: If there is lots of cake then do offer it to the parents/carers. Their the ones who have bought a gift and transported their child to the party so cake as a reward is definitely a bonus!

Remember, a well-thought-out party is a joy for all attendees. Share your parent-friendly tips below and let's ensure every celebration is a family affair to remember!

Kid's Parties on a Budget! ๐Ÿ’–โœจ

Hey Party Planners! ๐ŸŽ‰ Let's talk about the magic of kids' parties without breaking the bank! ๐Ÿ’ฐโœจ Remember, celebrating your little one doesn't have to mean spending a fortune. Here are some tips to make their day memorable without the financial stress:

1๏ธโƒฃ DIY Decorations: Get creative! Handmade decorations add a personal touch and won't dent your wallet. ๐ŸŽจโœ‚๏ธ

2๏ธโƒฃ Snacks: Bake your own goodies or opt for budget-friendly snacks. Kids care more about the fun than the fancy! Also, if you hold a party between 10-12 or 2-4pm you only need to supply snacks rather than a full lunch ๐Ÿช๐ŸŽ‚

3๏ธโƒฃ Themed Activities: Plan simple games or crafts that tie into the party theme. A little imagination goes a long way! ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽˆ

4๏ธโƒฃ Digital Invites: Save on paper and postage by sending digital invitations. Plus, it's eco-friendly! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’Œ

5๏ธโƒฃ Party Games Galore: Classic games like musical chairs or a scavenger hunt are timeless, cost-effective, and loved by all! ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ”

6๏ธโƒฃ Party Bags: You don't need to give bags full of items, just one that is of better quality and will be truly useful and loved will be received just as well.

Remember, the joy on your child's face doesn't depend on how much you spend. ๐Ÿฅณ

๐Ÿ’• Share your budget-friendly party ideas below and let's inspire each other to create unforgettable moments without the hefty price tag! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’™

A regular customer got in touch to ask if I could help with her daughter's fairy potion party. So we discussed what activities they were going to be doing and what I had that would suit the theme.

In the end, she hired a Perfect Pastel tableware kit, flower garlands, wood slices, fairy lights and cake stands.

I love this idea for an at-home party. You don't have to have a hall party to have a memorable time.

Thanks for coming to me !
