Healthy Twists to Halloween Treats!

Themed parties at Partytrap Animation are becoming more and more popular and Halloween has always been the most successful one of all! Following these hot summer months it will be the next exciting festivity that we would be gearing up for!

Trick or treating is one of the main activities that is connected to Halloween and we all know how it goes... kids end up with bags of sweets and goodies even without knocking door to door!  Activities during parties and other Halloween related events are mostly about distributing as much candy to kids as possible.  This is bad news for the young bodies who either suffer crazy sugar rushes or just add onto teeth and obesity problems in kids.

Child-friendly events: A Cute Occasion or Messy Ordeal?

Wedding, corporate or other special event?  Worried about the guests bringing children to your special occasion?  This is a common yet delicate issue because you do not want to offend anybody if you do not wish to have little guests but at the same time your goal is for the guests enjoy themselves should you decide on a child-friendly event.

First things first.  Before sending out any invitation, decide whether the celebration will be an adults-only zone or not.  Make it clear to the guests so that parent guests can make their own arrangements for the occasion.

Deciding pro children attending your event with pretty formal dresses and tiny penguin suits might make them look adorable and angelic at times but it certainly does not mean that you do not have to think about their own entertainment too.  Children at special events need to be occupied and kept busy otherwise they will just get bored and irritate their parents or even worse other guests!

There are many options on how to tackle this.  You as a host or organizer can provide an area or table especially dedicated to them. Colouring books, crafts supplies, puzzles, play dough, quiet board games and movies are all ways of keeping them busy.  Having some of the guests keep an eye on them would be even more helpful.

Another option would be to provide professional entertainment especially for the children.  This is a sure way of having your mind at rest, where the children will definitely enjoy themselves and not interfere with the rest of the party.  Event sitting is becoming a more popular choice for formal events as it is a form of child animation which maintains the decorum of the formal event.

At Partytrap our event sitting services are one of a kind. Our team of animators is dedicated and experienced to handle different age groups with the appropriate activities. We include interactive games and crafts and fun activities that children will enjoy and that parents will appreciate!  Contact us on info@partytrap.com for more information.

Thanks Xer!

Dear Partytrap Fans!

We need to say bye to one of our greatest animators.

Xer has been with us since the beginning and participated in numerous events and parties. She did an excellent job in the last 6 years at Partytrap and she will be missed a lot.

Xer, as a talented dancer has contributed to most of the choreographies performed by our animators and with a great sense of humour, she has put a smile on the faces of many kids.

We could count on her anytime and she always made sure that each and every child had a wonderful time. With a great passion for entertainment she caused thousands of amazing moments and gave memorable experiences to hundreds of children.

We really appreciate her initiatives in voluntary events such as the one at Mater Dei in the Rainbow Ward as well as our participation in the Puttinu Cares Marathon. We are glad that she will continue contributing to these voluntary events.

Xer it was great to work with you and we wish you the best of luck in the future.
