How do I pick the right package for my party?The first thing you need to do when picking your package is work out how many guests you intend to invite. If there are under 12 guests, then any of our party packages will be suitable. However if you have over 15 guests, you will need 2 entertainers so the 2 Hour Deluxe Package would suit you best! If you have between 21 and 30 guests then you will need the Super Deluxe Party Package.

-
When should I arrange for the kids / entertainment to arrive?We suggest starting the party at least half an hour before the entertainment arrives. This ensures that all of the guests have arrived and are settled before the entertainers, ensuring no one misses out on any activities.
-
How long before the party will the entertainer arrive?How long before the party will the entertainer arrive? There is very little set up for most of our party packages, so the entertainment will only arrive only a few moments prior to the time they are booked, ready to start the activities.
-
When is a good time to feed the kids?45 Minutes into the 1.5 Hour, 2 and 2 Hour Deluxe Party, is when the face painting begins, so this is usually a very good time to feed them. In a one hour party, we suggest feeding the kids before or after the entertainment.
-
Will the entertainer stay for the cutting of the cake and Happy Birthday?Our entertainers are always happy to stay for cutting of the cake and helping to sing Happy Birthday and many photo opportunities - provided that it is within the booked time frame. Just inform us during the booking process or the entertainers on the day and we will incorporate it into the package.
-
What happens if it’s raining?Our entertainers are happy to go ahead with your party if it is raining, however they will need a warm, dry and sheltered area to conduct the activities. It is essential that our supplies stay dry; as there is quite possibly another party they will have to get to directly after yours. It is always good to have a plan B if your event is being held in a park or outdoor area.
-
What happens if I want to celebrate 2 Birthdays at the same event?This is no problem at all! We are happy to accommodate 2 or more Birthday children. We do offer a gift for the Birthday child so there will be an additional fee for a second gift, to ensure all Birthday children are presented with a gift.
-
Do you cater for boys?Although we do not have male entertainers, we do have characters that appeal to both boys and girls. Some of these include; Supergirl, Wonder Woman and our Female Pirate. We cater for boys in all of our party packages. We offer boys prizes, face painting designs and always encourage them to join in on the activities.
-
If some kids come late or extra kids show up, will the entertainers stay back to get to everybody?"When possible the entertainers will ensure that every child has their face painted, however as it is highly likely that the entertainer has another party after yours, so they will need to leave on time. This is why it is important to ensure that the children have arrived prior to the entertainment and that you have booked your package based on how many guests you have invited rather than the RSVPs received. We would not want any child to miss out.
