At the start of the year I took a drive to Weybridge to meet a lovely family whose son’s birthday party we had been discussing over the phone and via email. I took with me my pirate chest and treasure map. Can you guess the theme?! On Saturday it was the party. Buttons provided […]
You may think that I am a bit obsessed with bubbles, and you’d be right! haha I love them. I have been using some new bubbles for the last few weeks and wanted to tell you about them. I found them at Hobbycraft where they are called Magic Bubbles but you can also get […]
I started Buttons Children’s Parties just over a year ago now, and in that year it has developed and grown. As well as children’s party entertainment I also offer a venue styling service, party bags, sweet tables and large event entertainment for kids. I love how creative my job is and that I can […]
Towards the start of the year Buttons Children’s Parties got a call and I was asked by a lovely mum called Tanya to host her daughter’s birthday entertainment and to make the area where the children would eat look special. The theme Mermaids. The plan was for the party to be in the family […]
My version of pass the parcel for Buttons Parties is a bit different and I thought I would share it with you today as it may help any go it alone party planners at your next party. Pass the parcel can cause tears and if you have 20+ layers it can really drag on! My […]
Hi everyone, I hope you’ve had a nice Monday. My post is a bit late today as I have been battling with my email server. But I’m here now, with a bit of magic on in the background (how old am I!) as I really wanted to share with you the mermaid backdrop I […]
I have had the urge to bake a cake for weeks now, I did make one funny Victoria sponge last week but I’m not so sure that it isn’t a crime against cakes to even call it that. So on Wednesday I was feeling a bit creative and pulled out a children party cake book for […]
Fancy dress. These words bring dread and a cold sweat for some, but to others pure joy. Id have to say I sit more with the first group. I’m not really a dressing up person, unless all that is needed is a bit of styling around the edges. Western party = cowboy hat, cute floral […]
I don’t have one friend getting married this year. So no new dress, tears at the ceremony or late night wedding dancing for me. It is estimated however that 50,000 brides will be getting married in the UK this summer. That means there must be quite a few of you that are planning on […]
A few months ago I was booked to style a hall in Fleet for a Princess & Pirate Party. It’s taken me a while but I wanted to share with you some of the images that were captured by the wonderful Kate Griffin before the children arrived dressed in there uber cute outfits and we went on […]
This is a party I just had to share with you. The party parents booked me to entertain at their son’s Mikey’s 5th birthday party on Wednesday 23rd May. I recived an email about a month prior to the party date with a very clear plan of what they wanted on the day and it was […]
Some months ago, in fact it was a summer month in 2011 myself and Kate Griffin (a lovely lady I met via Twitter) hatched a plan over cake in a café in Guildford. We both love to create lovely things and after talking about it for a while we decided to go for it. […]
