Since opening a little over a year ago we have hosted more than 450 engaging and fun birthday celebrations.

But it isn’t the standard decorations or newest video game that provides our uniquely memorable birthday experiences.  The birthday difference comes down to one thing - making a child’s special day as unique and distinctive as she is. The result?  A child feeling cherished, important and happy.

Personalizing a child’s party is not “Theming.”  Though they may be popular, theme parties tend to stress one particular focus a child has at a certain moment in his life.  Since so much emphasis is placed on the theme, it doesn’t draw on or express anything unique about the actual child.  Additionally, these packages can be quite expensive.  So too, it’s not uncommon to see the same Spiderman package found on line at several of your child’s friends parties within a few months time.

Personalizing a child’s birthday celebration can be as easy as including pictures of the birthday child with friends or family members at the celebration.  Favorite colors, sports teams, activities, vacation spots, books, or music can also be incorporated.  These elements enhance appreciation of a child’s uniqueness and individuality, truly conveying her life at this landmark event.  This personal framing is what makes the difference between a mere birthday gathering and an authentic celebration of your child.

Did I mention a child’s favorite food?  This is another way to add a personal touch and cultivate appreciation of a child’s uniqueness.  It is also a great opportunity to expose guests to culinary items they may not know about or have not previously experienced.  Kids often have more varied palates than we give them credit for.  Many young kids today actually like Thai food and even certain kinds of sushi.  Your party can offer a lifelong memory for the guest who tried borsch for the first time and also learned about the child’s Ukrainian heritage.
