Party Entertainers; Elaborate Children’s Parties

 

 

Party entertainers should be smiling with the latest trend in elaborate children’s parties. Pass the parcel, a lolly scramble and plenty of sugary food no longer cut it for children’s birthday parties.  Following trends from Park Avenue in New York, the business of children’s parties has hit the UK and it’s the party entertainers that are cashing in on this new trend.

Mayfair parties are becoming full scale events co-ordinated by expert party entertainers.  It’s a complete end to end process including invitations delivered with a free iPod, elaborate gift bags for each pint size guest, bouncy castles, full size carousals as well as a circus like atmosphere at the party created by exotic animals. No expense is spared in the pursuit of a party that exceeds the party hosted by a neighbour or friend. The dress code is formal, so finger painting is out as the guests and their parents wear pieces from their designer wardrobe.

In the past, a family wedding would attract such attention and accrue such expense, nowadays children’s parties follow themes which are planned years in advance. Each year has to have a different theme and different blend of party entertainers. The cake is the focal point and delicacies are crafted by the city’s best bakers.  Parties of this magnitude may cost over €10,000 each year.

In the quest for differentiation, party entertainers are in hot demand and it’s their skills that create a unique party and one that everyone talks about.  It’s essential to book in advance and a typical complement of entertainers at any given party includes party entertainers who provide street shows, mimes, clowns and magic tricks.

The party starts before the gates to the house with party entertainers outside the party residence designed to provide just a taste of what’s ahead – and get the neighbours talking! Stilt show performers tend to be the most popular with their elegant silhouette creating a spectacle.

Mimes are paid hundreds of pounds just to greet guests and act as elaborate ushers taking coats, gifts and ensuring the first fruit cocktail is delivered with fanfare to each guest.

Today’s generation of clowns are true professionals. They’ll appear in groups of four or five ensuring enough close attention for each special guest.  Faces are created by professional make up artists; juggling, unicycles and flames are all combined to deliver outstanding entertainment. 

Clever party entertainers will partner with corporate magicians who now create unique shows especially for exclusive appearances at kids birthday parties. Simple illusions are altered slightly so the coin hiding behind the ear – become a take away gift for the guests like charm bracelets.  Traditional magic favourites –rabbits and doves delight with their disappearing and reappearing antics.

Party entertainers and their performances are big business and show no sign of decline. Parents continue to engage party entertainers as they vie to out do each other year after year.  It is all good news for the kids, the fun times will just keep on coming
