Children's parties are famously stressful, but not when you are in expert hands. Local Mum Jodie explains why she loves taking care of business for parents on their children's big day.
Beauty therapist and Local Mum Jodie Wood has always loved children's parties. "I can think up party ideas all day long," she says, so it was a natural progression from her love of face painting and parties to set up Glitterbugs, a one-stop-shop for children's party entertainment.
"I have arranged parties for as long as i can remember," says Jodie, Local Mum to Lucy 16 and Mason, 4. "I changed my Grandmother's dining room into an Alice in Wonderland party for no other reason than I thought it was time we all dressed up and had a party!"
Sadly for Jodie, her 16 year old daughter is coming to the end of being a tester for all Jodie's fab party ideas. However, her four-year-old son is loving it! "Lucy missed out on a fantastic vintage tea party I was planning for her," laughs Jodie. "But now Mason is my tester and he and his friends loved their super hero party - almost as much as I did!"
Tots to teens
Glitterbugs tried to take all the stress out of organising children's parties and has packages available for tots to teens. With everything you need for a themed party from Pampered Princesses to Swash-buckling pirates, all kids' favourite dress-up characters are covered. Jodie also does face painting parties, make over parties and superhero parties and has a fantastic dressing up box which can be hired.
"Our aim with Glitterbugs is to let parents relax and enjoy the party," explains Jodie. "So we bring all the materials for the craft activities and take all the mess home home with us. We also take care of all the entertainment, so that parents can chat to other parents, take photos and enjoy the day rather than running around being stressed."
All taken care of
Glitterbugs parties have two hosts, one to face paint, apply glittery make up or perform pampering treatments and one to entertain the guests with your chosen craft activity or cake decorating.
At the end of each themed party, little guests get their own certificate and are able to take away their craft item or decorated cake.
So if you have a little girl who wants to be a princess for the day, or a little boy who's birthday would be unforgettable if all his friends were superheros, give Glitterbugs a call. A stress-free party with lots of happy children has got to be a winner in our book!
