Ok! So, I have to be honest...
A blogger, I'm not!...
but we'll give it a go...
and hopefully it won't be too painful to read...
The last few months have been both strange and exciting. Anyone who knows us, knows I love my children's parties, especially themed ones. With an uncertain turn of events this summer and strange off the cuff conversation about a job I'd seen online, Designer Party was born.

The last few months have been both strange and exciting. Anyone who knows us, knows I love my children's parties, especially themed ones. With an uncertain turn of events this summer and strange off the cuff conversation about a job I'd seen online, Designer Party was born.
It's hard to explain but this feels like this is something the three of us were born to do. Setting up our business plan and the physical party events has confirmed this for us in our hearts. We're so lucky to be able to do it too!
The three of us have been volunteering at a local parent and toddler group once a week and thoroughly enjoy our time there. It's a lovely wee group with a very relaxed social atmosphere. The children are amazing, but what's truly amazing is how much you can give a child with a simple craft activity or a small interest in a conversation. The reward of a thank you or a smile on the child's face is 'Priceless'.
It's no shock we got together to start up 'Designer Party', we work well together, as well as bringing different qualities and strengths, we hold the same beliefs and holistic approach towards children's enjoyment and fun.
Truth is we are big kids at heart!

Personally, I have always loved working with children, as do the three of us! My baby has just turned 12 and I've made it my mission to support and nurture him into a confident, independent and secure young man. Likewise with my 6 year old menace. For many years I was a registered childminder whilst my eldest was in Primary school and I have to be honest they were the happiest days of my working life.
I have always said to my Partner that if I could only give my children one thing to remember me by it will be how special and important their birthdays are to me.
So far we have had Pirate, Knights and Maidens, Nintendo, Minecraft to name just a few all with themed games and loot bags. Several times over the years friends have said 'You should start your own party business' to which I'd politely smile say 'maybe' and put it to the back of my mind.
We'll not this time... This time we're jumping in head first... And we're enjoying every moment...

We've been meeting every Monday for the last 3 months or more, as soon as the wee ones have been walked to school, looking more like drowned rats than yummy mummy's, we were pen to paper with a coffee in hand. Preparing everything, from the boring but serious admin work, professional standards and legal requirements, to the 'Uber' fun planning and creating of games, sourcing of prizes and loot, not to mention the ultra exciting task of designing the uniform. It has had it's moments, it sure has been hard work but, on the whole it's been fun and always exciting and at last it's ready to be launched.
We're positive there is plenty more fun to be had, but the truth is...
the hard work is only just beginning....
But...
We're ready!! and it's worth it!!
