Kids dance party ideas

If you are planning a kids birthday dance party for a 4 to 9-year-old, let’s face it the pressure is on for it to be a hit.

Begin with adding a bit of glitter to your invites to set the tone. Have a dress code or make it themed, like a white party or ask kids to dress as their favourite musician.

You’ll need a backyard or a bit of space to host the party such as a garage or basement. An idea would be to create a cozy kid’s karaoke corner with a lounge area to start the night. Include disco dress-up props like wigs, big plastic sunglasses, microphones, and mustaches. Here you can also have a photo booth set up.

GARDEN PARTY STYLE

What is a garden style party?

The glorious thing about a garden style party is the sky really is the limit here, as a garden party can be anything you desire. Here in Perth we are blessed with sunny weather for most of the year, so this is the ideal city to take your celebrations outdoors. Garden parties are those that happen outside, whether it be in your backyard, a public park, national park, large garden or any other outdoor area, and are typically held in the afternoon to take advantage of the natural light and sunshine. More than just a backyard barbeque, garden style parties are a popular choice when a celebration calls for that little bit of extra pizazz.

What type of party is suited to garden style?

Given the versatility of this party style, garden parties are very well suited to a range of different occasions. A lovely outdoor garden party is perfect for baby showers, engagement parties, birthdays, wedding receptions, anniversaries, hen’s days and bridal showers. A garden party can be as informal or as formal as you like and is especially ideal for casual celebrations where guests can feel comfortable enough to kick back, take their shoes off and relax. Garden parties are also great for children, as they are free to run around and make plenty of noise without the restrictions of the indoors. If you want your guests to enjoy the outdoor breeze, natural environment and sunset views, a garden party is where it’s at.

Elements of a garden style party

The fabulous thing about garden parties is the world really is your oyster when it comes to how you style and design your celebration. Garden parties can be themed, laid back or fancy, so there really is no typical style that’s used. Popular elements of modern garden parties include flowers, bunting, outdoor furniture, benches, cushions, platters, drink stations, marquees, tablecloths, ice tubs, outdoor bars and much more. There’s plenty of room to add your own DIY touches, while all necessary equipment is also available for hire.

At Perth Party Hire, we love garden style parties and helping our customers bring their dream garden party to life. You can check out our amazing garden party photo gallery for an idea of the kind of garden style party we can help you create and we’re on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Indian Dinner Party Theme

Whether you have guests in town and you’re looking to impress them with a stellar welcome dinner, new neighbours you’d like to introduce to the neighbourhood supper club or are just an avid socialiser who loves the role as “hostess with the mostess”, throwing a themed dinner party is always a great idea. We should know!

Not sure where to begin with the planning process? Follow our three-step ‘recipe’ for success and we’ll get you hosting in no time.

1. Choose an unforgettable dinner party theme

Your theme can be inspired by just about anything; colours, holidays, places, cultures, and eras in time to name a few. Embrace your inner Picasso and put your pen, and ideas, to paper. Dinner parties are the perfect time to make your creative vision into a reality.

This time around, we’ve gone ahead and already made the hard decision for you. Your next supper club inspiration: An Indian Dinner Party!

2. Surprise and delight guests with an extraordinary party atmosphere

When hosting a dinner party, you’re inviting people to share stories, make new memories and celebrate food in the comfort of the environment you create.

Styling your dinner party is the perfect time to take risks and recreate that party theme you’ve been eyeing for months. It’s your opportunity to build an environment that radiates that “feeling” you want guests to walk away with after being in good company, wining and dining with you.

How often do you enjoy Indian cuisine in the setting of a garden party? We took our Indian Supper theme but decided to give it a twist. We wanted guests to walk away feeling inspired to shake up their everyday routine, so we decided to mirror that sentiment by pairing an Indian dinner with a garden boho party theme – low picnic tables, cushions, rugs, and greenery included.

3. Entice guests with impressive dinner presentation

First things first, pick your dinner of choice. Next, find your crockery at home or hire from us, and then map out how you would like to set your table. Follow these steps in this order and the inspiration will domino so that each decision is easier than the last.

Indian cuisine is such an easy dinner party pick given the delicious variety offered with every single dish. With so many spices and vibrant flavours used throughout, there is a taste to suit everyone. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make choosing the specific dishes you want any easier!

Luckily, Royal India has given us access to their Butter Chicken family recipe. This means all you talented chefs can whip up the dish yourself or cheekily order food for your dinner party as take away before guests arrive.

Here’s how you’re going to want to dish up your Indian dinner in style.

Think lavish silver dishes decorating the length of the table, an enticing display of naan served on various bread cutting boards, large Indian serving bowls of butter chicken and Indian serving dishes filled with sauces galore.

An Indian supper, in our eyes, is an elaborate display of colours and textures seen in both the food and crockery; enticing guests to sit-down, relax and feast!
