A little funny story from 2023: Early December I had a small error when inviting the girls at a party to write on my white board and clearly pointed at the window blind! Before I knew it I had lots of nice comments about the party and the birthday girl that day written on the yellow blind - what can you do??? So i just asked the next groups to do the same until the whole thing was covered and the kids all loved it.
Obviously I now have a brand new window blind which suits the room better - I shall be clearer with instructions from now on!!

School Year coming to a close

Well, as the school year enters its final half term and everyone is fed up of exams, mocks and reports its quite normal for birthday parties to slow a little, but Pop Star Party doesn’t have to just be for birthdays - we regularly run parties for many other occasions where a group of young kids want to hang out, sing a few fun songs and have a party together. So - over the Summer why not book a ‘we’re not at school’ Pop Star Party for your kids and let us entertain them for a while.

Just quickly want to mention that Pop Star Party is into its’ 15th year now, running parties for kids from all across Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Coventry, Birmingham and more. Have a look through the website at all we do.

Recently Scarlett had her 12th Birthday with us and booked the Platinum Party enjoying everything we have to offer. The group sang Castle on the Hill and made their pop video with the same song which looks amazing. Scarlett sang Ex-wives from the musical Six as her solo, all the kids really enjoyed the party and even the parents got on the red carpet photoshoot! Oh - The cake was awesome too!

Sing Pose Feast Film Snap Dance FUN!!

The last 2 months have been busy and life threw me an unexpected change recently, but as the famous phrase goes ‘the show must go on’ or in our case the parties must go on!

So, this is a just a tiny blog to say thanks for all those that booked recently and enjoyed parties at the barn and here’s to the next few months which should be warmer and dryer - I for one am a bit fed up of the lousy weather atm.
Our new feature of the 360º camera footage has proven popular thankfully so do let me know if you want that included in your party.
CDs this year have proven less necessary, so these will shortly become an optional extra since most people just don’t have a CD player anymore!
Lastly I wanted to mention a funny moment that happened only last weekend when the kids announced they had completed the Tetris Puzzle - I actually fell for it and believed they had. Nobody has completed this puzzle in over 7 years so I was amazed - but they hadn’t. They had hidden a piece. Normally I spot this but it was a busy party and I totally fell for it!!

Please let friends know about Pop Star Party or if you have a child with a birthday popping up soon just get in touch in all the usual ways and we can organise yours next!

Let's Hear it for the Cakes!

Cakes make birthdays special and at Pop Star Party we see some very special cakes - I am constantly amazed at how much effort goes into making the various themed cakes that arrive with the kids.
So - we should give them some time and make a fuss of some of the most incredible creations recently.
Whoever made them needs a pat on the back and a big well done for helping make all these kids cakes.

Cutting a CD Single & Cutting the Cake

There has been much thought & research put into the question of whether to continue to make a custom CD after party, with the various songs recorded at your party on there & a pic of the group on glossy label.
All kids sing at least 1 song as a group, which can be quite noisy or can be extremely well delivered - depends on the group every time. Often there will be up to 3 songs on the CD including Happy Birthday. Some parties will have a solo slot and this can, in some circumstances end up on the CD, but usually is a separate song produced straight after the party when there is a bit less chaos going on!
The dilemma we have is that nowadays many kids aged 8 upwards don’t really have a CD player - so should we keep producing them.
The research and feedback has resolved with a resounding Yes as parents will certainly keep it forever - so we shall continue this aspect. Personally I think its great that the kids do take away something physical after their party but also fully recognise that CDs are a tad old fashioned now. Extra copies are still available for £5 each.
Cutting the Cake is clearly still the most important part of any party and this happens in our Party Hangout room where the buffet is laid out.

Partytime

Well since the last post I’m so pleased to say there have been plenty of parties in the pipeline and plenty more to follow.
Sing Pose Feast Film Snap Dance FUN is the party slogan and the kids always have a great laugh trying to say it as fast as me - but it’s cool, cos then they know what’s happening during the party, usually!

So - if you’re kids have a birthday popping up soon, please get in touch to book a party. I’ve just started booking into January and expect lots more to follow

Back to School Part 2

So after last years total fail at getting the kids back to school, I’m hoping this year will be better.
Mine is hopping back on the bus from Monday & I’m pretty sure most parents are ready for the new school year to start again.

In July I ran several parties for some lucky kids who’s parents managed to get a booking at the studio in amongst everything else going on with the chaos of unlocking and we saw plenty of happy faces, excited kids and heard lots of laughter again in the studio. Hopefully the new season will be the same.
September is already looking to be a very busy month for me with many different things to organise, not least of which is my own Mum’s birthday - she’s 80 on September 11th.

Booking a party is still as easy as ever - call me on the mobile, leave a message on the studio landline or email me with your ideal date/s. Once the date is agreed, i take a small booking deposit and then the full balance on the actual day. Kids need parties - book yours today!!
