Rain Rain go away?

Not sure why but it used to be that when there was a rain forecast our clients would furiously scramble to change their party date to the following week.  Most of the time it ended up being nice the original weekend they had planned it for and raining the next but they made do with the new date somehow since you really don't want to inevitably postpone your child's party for many reasons.

Now it seems, however, that we get additional bookings when rain is on the horizon.  I get desperate calls on Thursday and Friday prior to the weekend wanting a clown, a facepainter, a magician...SOMETHING, ANYTHING, "to entertain all those kids that will be in my house on this rainy day, we planned a jumper/ponies/petting zoo but now it can't come"

And I can help them!!! Most of the time anyway we can figure it out and fit them in.  And it feels good.  Because I have an in-house staff of performers and own most of our own costumes we can grab that clown costume and get it to the performer with an opening in their day.  And if one of my own people are not available, guess what?  I have been in business since 1994 so I have a HUGE roster of reliable, talented, independent performers and colleagues who may have an opening in their day! 

So don't be embarassed or apologetic when you call us at the last minute.  That's what we're here for!

Happy Mother's Day

Thanks to Carly at The Juice Box I have been organizing my digital photos this week. Maybe I'm feeling a bit nostalgic because of Mother's Day but I was especially distracted by all my kids' birthday party photos. Here is a little slideshow in no particular order because I haven't quite got the hang of Picasa's movie maker yet.

Themes we have done over the years are Spiderman, Toy Story, Scooby and friends, Space Science, Tigger, Pony and Cowgirl Music party and gasp(!) Chuck E. Cheese one dark year. Not that there's anything really wrong with Chuck E. Cheese parties. I have to admit it was amazingly simple to book. I wasn't going to do a party for my younger one that year but was feeling Mommy guilt as we were getting ready to fly back from Florida ON his birthday so went online and organized the party real quick!

I hope I make people's party planning a bit easier with our wonderful entertainment options and referrals for things like bouncer rentals and cakes (Heather's are yummy-she's in Agoura Hills) and our services are a lot more personal!

My older one has opted for really simple things the past few years like trips to Legoland and a Wii party. I have no idea what he'll want to do when he outgrows Legoland.

I hope whatever you do this Sunday you have a wonderful time!

MOMS

We rock!!!!
