WHAT WERE SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SETUP?

The girls were entertained with a stunning Flower Bar run by Cath Roberts Floral Designs. The ball pit proved to be a hit with the teens and created endless ‘Tik Tok moments’ whilst the Air Hockey Table provided an opportunity for lots of laughs and some healthy competition! In terms of styling, unique features included a personalised illustration by Stacey Rose, yummy personalised edible favours by Karamela Candy Boxes and Ana Josie Designs plus a beautiful lilac Trio Plinth Table for the cakes to be placed on and a scalloped arch shelf for all the treats and favours.

SHARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR THOSE PLANNING TEEN PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS.

When organising a teen’s party, there are several top tips to keep in mind for a memorable and enjoyable celebration. First and foremost, involve the teenager in the planning process to ensure their interests and ideas are taken into account. Next, choose an ageappropriate theme that reflects their interests and the current trends. To keep the energy high, plan engaging activities that encourage social interaction among the guests. The music is a crucial element, so curate a diverse playlist that caters to their different musical preferences. Food is another important aspect, so offer a range of delicious options. Communication is key, so clearly communicate any rules or expectations regarding behaviour, alcohol (if applicable), and curfew. Lastly, when planning, consider hiring items instead of buying. It not only saves costs but also reduces waste, ensuring a more sustainable celebration. By following these top tips, you’ll be set to organise a memorable party that will have teens talking about it for years to come!
