"Fantastic craft parties for children..."
"we can decorate the room as well"

Small Important People are a small company working around the Midlands, Warwickshire and neighbouring areas. We offer a number of options and solutions to assist with 'The children's birthday party' for ages between 5 and 9 years.

Room decorated craft games & party bags
Based on a theme we plan, organise games and craft for two hours to provide an entertaining fun filled kids party. We arrive on the day decorate the room, run the event, provide games, craft, prizes, party bags leaving parents to organise the party food and talk to guests.

While "Small Important People" help out with much of the event, we still request the child's parents attend to assist with some of the games and craft - in fact the adults enjoy it just as much as the children.

You may ask your guests to dress up to add that special party atmosphere.

The party includes games and a craft for the children to make and take home and we decorate the room. Each child will also take home with them an exciting party bag filled with goodies. The party is worked around the theme.

Our parties perform best at local village halls, the local scout hut, community centres, school or parish halls with a group size of between 15 and 25 children for ages between 5 and 9 years. When booking a room, please ensure it is safe for children to run, play games in and free from hazards. Health and safety is paramount. An indoor area of 30ft X 50ft is required for some of the games. For the craft, tables and chairs will need to be provided.
Room decoration will vary due to the amount of hooks placed around the venue and the height of the room. (Older buildings with lots of beams or false ceiling work best). Fixings (e.g. hooks) around the room must be made available to hold material decoration. We do not use 'sellotape' or 'blue-tak" The more places around the room to hang decorations, the better it will look.

Buildings such as smart new hotel suites provide little opportunity to show our decorations. If you wish to hold your party in you home or rooms that do not allow decoration we suggest one of our smaller party packages:

Top Party tips

Safety

If you are to hire a room, ensure it meets all safety requirements. Remember children will run around.

Remember who the party is really for

Grand ideas designed to impress other people don’t work. Children will enjoy playing with balloons and empty boxes. Keep it simple.

Food

Follow the eating with sit down entertainment such as a magic show or craft. (i.e. not running around).

Sweets

Hand out all the sweets at the end of the party. It’s easier to control 30 children who are not pumped high on e-numbers.

Birthday Cake

While you may remember the cake & candles, don’t forget the cutting knife & matches.

Party Numbers

If it’s your first attempt at running a party, keep the numbers to a minimum (below 20).

Time

2 hours is adequate

Time of party food

Plan the party food to be served near a time when children would normally eat. Take this into consideration when initially deciding the party start time.

Games

Plan a number of individual and team games throughout the party, however make the final game reveal a prize to share with every party child. We conclude with pinata, where children take it in turns to break the party centre-piece. Once broken the floor is showered with prizes to share. Everyone goes home a winner.

dressing up

If you have organsied a pirate or a wild west party at your home, a number of the invited may arrive dressed the part. You may then have concerns about children swinging their plastic swords at your newly decorated room or firing guns at your best china-wear. Have an empty box ready to store all armory during the party.
