Editor’s Note

Hey there Party Lovers!

We are excited to share our July Mini Mag with you! I have to admit that I am sad as there were quite a few amazing parties and photoshoots we couldn’t feature as they had to be postponed due to restrictions and lockdowns. In saying that though, the submissions we have featured in this issue have made this issue a beauty!

I know many party business are struggling right now and many of you have had to postpone your children’s birthdays, weddings and all celebrations due to covid and well it’s crap!

(I really shouldn’t use words like that in a magazine but well we are all thinking it). I know we have been here before but for some reason this time round feels worse! But in saying that we have to be positive and remember that we will all be able to party again soon and we will back bigger and better!

In the meantime, enjoy our Mini Mag let her give you some joy and inspo in this glum time! And remember we can still #partysmallerspartyharder at home!

Keep safe and we are here if you ever need us!

Zurri Children’s Expo THE ZURRI TEAM HAVE HEARD OUR CALL FOR A PARTY EXPO! ALTHOUGH POSTPONED TILL 2022 DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID SITUATION IN SYDNEY, IT DOESN’T MEAN WE CAN’T GET EXCITED & READY TO PARTY WITH THEM. MEET THE TEAM AND GET INVOLVED!

Tell us what made you decide to host a Kids Party

Expo?

The journey to Zurri began after Rebecca became a new mum. After attending multiple children’s events, it became apparent that sourcing vendors and suppliers was what most mums struggled with. We quickly realised that lots of the party conversations revolved around “Where did you get that from” and “Who provided you with…”

The demand for outsourcing party suppliers has become more common and can sometimes be an overwhelming experience for most people when they don’t even know where to start.

We have attended multiple expos and have also helped businesses run their stalls so have seen first hand the benefits these forums can provide to both established and growing businesses. They are also such a great place for people wanting to source suppliers, gain ideas and inspirations and connect directly with people who you are purchasing from.

You only have to scroll through social media to see how many amazing small businesses are out there providing quality services in the kids event space, so Zurri wanted to create a space where parents could feel at ease sourcing party supplies.

8 confettifair.com.au

After speaking to multiple experts in the field and parents and receiving great feedback on the idea we decided to go ahead! We hope the expo will be well received and would love for this experience to become an annual event.

And tell us a little about the Zurri team Zurri is a small team of three sisters, Rebecca, Melissa and Ashley. We all have a different skill set we bring to the table but combined we have found a passion for creating this marketplace for parents to make party planning a little easier while promoting local small businesses.

We would love to be able to expand our team in the future with like minded, passionate people.

Who is the expo for?

The expo is really for everyone, whether you have an upcoming event or are planning one for the future.

From milestone birthdays, religious events, cake smashes, large scale events or a little DIY the expo will be your one stop shop for finding everything you need to wow your guests and make your party planning that much easier!

How do party businesses get involved?

The best way is to apply directly through our website or send through an email to info@zurri.com.au. There are still spots available but they are filling quickly! ♥ A NOTE FROM THE ZURRI TEAM: In light of current circumstances we have had to make a difficult decision to postpone the expo until 2022. Although it saddens us to do so, we want to ensure a safe and worthwhile event for everyone involved.

We will be excited and as ready as ever to bring you an incredible experience when we can get back to normality.

You have secured a fantastic location for the expo, what can those coming along see and do?

We are sure vendors and the greater public will be very ready to PARTY once it’s safer to do so, I know team Zurri definitely are!

Yes, White Bay Cruise Terminal is gorgeous! Located on the foreshore of Rozelle, White Bay Cruise Terminal looks over Pyrmont Pirrama Park and offers views of the harbour bridge; it really is an idyllic location.

Those attending the expo can expect to see a wide range of businesses in the party industry offering lots of inspiration for your next event.

Summer Lovin’ Birthday

My middle daughter is born August so her birthdays have always been summer themed. I’ve always wanted to do a beachball garland so I surrounded my theme around that, adding a twist and making it Palm Springs! With cabana service, a pink door, custom hats and truffle french fries you would think you were lounging at the Parker hotel. My favorite detail was recreating a cake my mother made for me in 1992– a blue bundt decorated to look like a pool– the perfect sentimental touch. Everyone went home with a pool side essential goodie bag and had the best time.♥ - Kelsey Klos

Pom Pom 1st Birthday Inspired by pom poms from Anthropologie, we designed a retro party filled with texture and a hint of 70’s. We were in the heart of COVID June ‘20 so we had a very small get together in the backyard. Only immediate family that we had with us. We enjoyed cheese and chocolate fondue and my daughters played in the blow up pool in the backyard. I actually made her cake myself and loved how it turned out. The circle backdrop was made out of paper plates and I even did the balloon garland. It was a labor of love, but I was so thrilled to celebrate my baby turning ONE!

Oliver’s Jungle 1st Birthday

When Oliver turned 1 during the Sydney lockdown his 1st Birthday party had to be cancelled. But Mum didnt want her little man to miss out on his big milestone!

Mum created a cake fit for her jungle king and with some cute jungle themed balloons, Oliver blew out his candle.

Sticking to the then COVID lockdown restrictions the cake was distributed to friends and family. ♥

The Best Baby Shower

The baby shower for our first born was meant to be larger than life. As a host who loves to entertain, we had planned a party with over 70 people. Unfortunately due to the current climate in Brisbane, we were faced with restrictions of 30 people at a

private gathering. Do we cancel? Do we postpone? I decided to go ahead, and each vendor played an important part in making this gathering just as special. They provided the perfect finishes to celebrate our baby boy. The decorations were eye catching and provided a great back drop for memorable photos. Tea and mocktails flowed, being served in gorgeous vintage tea cups. The food was incredibly delicious, thanks to the very flexible Umu Kitchen. Being an avid baker, I made my own 2 teir cake and custom Baby Best cookies for each guest. The ladies and I had a fabulous time regaling stories of first borns and cooing over tiny little outfits. ♥ - Mama Best

Bonfires with Friends Camp Kassidy was located in West Palm Florida. Kassidy turned the big “6” the birthday girl celebrated with close family and friends. The girls celebrated in style with a sleep over and movie night fun. The girls had camp stories, marshmallow roast and lots of fun. Kassidy mom Vernika is very well know for over the top parties and we love to make her vision a reality. ♥ - Ronica, Taylor Couture Creations

COLOR YOUR PARTY WITH PARTY ON TOP

We are Mona And Tata from Party On Top. Living in the Gold Coast we both successfully worked in the hospitality and tourism industry. But then COVID hit and everything changed for us and our families. It was then when we realised that what we consider most valuable were moments, not things. We understood that life is made of small and valuable moments that deserve to be celebrated and shared with the ones we love.

We didn’t think twice and started building our design studio. A place where we can do what we love the most: being creative and helping others celebrate their little great life moments. We are creators of fun custom celebration headbands for girls of all ages, and through our business we encourage girls to celebrate life and themselves. Life can be one big celebration after the next... Because celebrating yourself is really about declaring to the universe, the world, and yourself that you are worthy of everything you desire.

Choose from our gallery or make your own by adding a custom text and choosing one of 8 different glitter colours available.

Get creative and we will get creating for you.
