Ready to dive in? Let’s get started!
What is a kid’s party package?
Kid’s party packages are usually a series of fun activities organised and performed by professional entertainers. These packages often have themes, such as a magic party or a pamper party.
Location: Where will the party be?
Party activities can be hosted at a venue, but most often, they take place at home. The entertainer will bring and set up all the necessary equipment.
Duration: How long will the party package last?
The duration of these parties varies based on the child’s age and the type of activities. Typically, parties last between 1 to 4 hours. On average, you can expect about 90 minutes of entertainment. After that, the kids will likely be ready for a rest.
Ideal Age: What’s the best age for a birthday party package for my child?
The suitable age range for each package depends on the specific activities. Generally, there are two main age groups: 4 to 7 and 7 to 12. However, packages for older children are available and will vary based on the activity type.
Price range: How much will it be for a party package?
The price will vary depending on where you live. At PartyWizz, we maintain price transparency; all prices are listed on the entertainer’s profiles.
Parents Involvement: Do I need to do anything?
With the entertainment handled, the main thing parents need to manage is the food. A typical schedule might look like this:
- The kids play as guests arrive – 30 minutes
- Entertainment/party package begins – 1 hour
- Kids have some food – 30 minutes
- Cake and present opening – 20 minutes
- Kids play as parents arrive to pick them up (and maybe stay for cake and coffee) – 30 minutes
What to expect from a party package?
The beauty of party packages is their variety. Different performers offer different activities, so you can find exactly what you want. Below are some common activities included in most party packages, which typically combine 3 or 4 of these:
Magic
The performer will perform some magic for the kids to enjoy.
- For the younger group (4 to 7), it’s usually a combination of silly jokes, clowning and magic. The parents may not be fooled, but the kids will love it.
- For older kid’s (7+), expect a more traditional magic show that will also fool the adults!
Balloon modelling
The entertainer will make a series of fun balloon models (think hats, swords, flowers, animals …) for all the kid’s to keep and play with. It’s a party staple for a reason; it’s a guaranteed hit!
Storytelling
Some performers have a storytelling section in their party package, which involves interactive, role-playing games often combined with other activities like magic.
Face painting
Face painting is another party classic that kids love. They get to choose their design and wear it for the rest of the day. Those who are unsure about getting their face painted can opt for just an arm “tattoo”. There is something for everyone.
Party Games
The entertainer might play a series of fun party games with the kids. The games can be anything from a sports type of game, to more traditional party games, perhaps with a twist related to the party. Games are a great way to get all the children involved and participating in an easy and relaxed way.
Music games
Kids will sing and dance along to popular songs, guided by the entertainer. All necessary equipment is provided; you just need to supply a power source.
Pampering
With pampering activities, the kids get to choose certain “treatments” (and look-alike treatments). For example, a manicure, temporary glitter tattoos and more. The treatments will depend entirely on the age group of the kids.
Arts & Crafts
The entertainer will orchestrate a DIY activity for the children to do. This can be anything from making slime to pottery. It’s a chance for the kids to get creative and hands-on.
