Let's Go Lego!

Today we’re taking a journey into the land of endless colourful opportunity… LEGO!!! What I love about this theme is you can apply it to any gender! The endless options of colours and Lego characters available allows for a completely bespoke party theme.

The timeless, instantly recognisable blocks have built countless forts, pony stables and castles and what better way to celebrate with a theme exuding fun and creativity.

Here’s a brilliant idea to entertain the children; LEGO DRESS UP! From the hair to the outfits or even yellow face paint, a Lego Dress-Up Station filled with colourful plain t-shirts and black shorts provides the perfect activity to get the children involved in the theme, bringing it to life.

Lego Sweetie bags are a brilliant idea. Again, the contents can be altered and the bag can be customised with names and images! If you want to get really inventive, the bags could be tied up with coloured ribbon holding pieces of different Lego as weights. The balloons could be also weighted with Lego shaped blocks… I could go on and on. The below sweetie bags by Les Enfants are adorable and unisex with little chocolate Lego men and theme coloured jelly beans!

Smash Cake Chaos

Good Morning

 

I must start this post with an opening statement - why weren’t Smash Cakes around when I was a child? It’s just not fair!

For those who don’t know; a smash cake is an individual cake presented to a child traditionally on their 1^st birthday. The aim of the game? For the baby to completely enjoy their smash cake with no regard for the amount of mess they may create.

Party in style - tea for two

Happy New Year, hope you all had a great Christmas.

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the promotional photo shoot we styled at the end of last year with the talented Danielle Owen.

It was a sunny Autumnal day when we headed deep into Epping Forest with our chaise longue and various other props.

Apart from a few comedy moments of a team of females lugging the furniture, the whole shoot went perfectly and our little models were gorgeous.

We hope you see how these photos embody our ethos - no matter how small or large your party is - always party in style.

Team Work

Well at the moment I am day 14 (without a break), with another 5 days before my weekend. Yesterday I did a 16 hour day and today another 8 hours, yet here I sit still thinking about this business.  Why?  Passion and drive and commitment to deliver something amazing, a love of what I do and a love for the people I work for and with, in short I care.

However, what has driven me to write this is not me, it is my team, the people I have around me who worked so hard this weekend to deliver five amazing events to such a high standard, without all of them it would not have happened and this journey would be lonely and no fun.

I can't tell you how much these people mean to me and how they have become my friends, my amazing sister whose work never ceases to amaze me, Helen who works non-stop, but also balances me (felt like I've known her all my life), Nikki who never lets me down and backed us all up brilliantly this weekend, Zahra who is a joy to be around, Christina for her Scooby, our new team members Michelle, Kellie, Candice, Izabel, our drivers Mike (aka business coach), Mustafa and Peter, Max and Sam who help out all the time, our brilliant new design team members, Charlotte who has helped Lucy so much and is spot on with her work, Syrie the tassel Queen, Yvonne who still helped even at a very difficult time, our brilliant party ambassadors are wonderful - Dipi, Theresa (who worked non-stop) and Savita plus Lucy Baxter who I think is brill, Karen and Nicole whose artwork blew me away, Zoe and her amazing cakes, Lee-Anne who saved our bacon, Clare and her pops, Mark who works wonders with our foamex, Ros and the mermaid sign and all our other suppliers and entertainers this weekend who all delivered. Abbie and her team, who deliver no matter what my balloon brief. Plus my gorgeous daughter Isabella who helped me today when I was flagging. And Addison Lee - great for emergencies. Feeling very blessed even if exhausted and what did we deliver this weekend ......
