The Basics Of Party Supplies
When it comes to prepping for any event, make sure you have your checklist ready. Whether your event is for a mature gathering or angled at little ones, the trick is in the prep work. Be sure to tick off the venue, snacks/meals, and activities – and don’t forget some fun tunes. And the part we love the most? Organising the party supplies! For kiddies’ events, we break down the event into three main categories: prep for before, during and after the party. Scroll through our party collection to dive right into some inspiration.
Before: The Party Prep
Kiddies’ parties are a fun time for celebrating birthdays, sports achievements or just enjoying a day of play. Get the event rolling ahead of time with these items.
Cards
This sand and glitter greeting card art set is great for making birthday cards, invites and also thank you cards for the special gifts your little ones receive. For larger projects, get the economically priced sand art assorted cards. Making cards is a great way to get them involved in the process and share a sentimental personal touch.
Gifting
Once you found the perfect present, make sure to get it wrapped. We have assorted gift wrap and large gift bags for those packages packed with a little extra goodness. Choose from colour schemes or a matching design to follow through with the theme.
During: Party Supplies, Activities And Décor
On the day of the event, supe up the space with razzle and dazzle decor and activities.
Awesome Activities
Depending on the party’s agenda, you may also want some hands-on creative time for the kiddies to get stuck into a craft project. They will enjoy bonding time and go home with something to remember the special day.
Select from our wide arrangement of crafty kits like:
Party activity tip
When the fun is done, maintain a seamless cleanup by laying down a tablecloth to protect surfaces and gather spills of glitter, sand and party nibbles.
Décor
Balloons
What is a party without balloons? Make sure to add pops of colour with our assortment of 30cm helium balloons. Choose colours of blue, green, orange, pink, purple, red, violet and yellow for a standard balloon bouquet or a whole balloon arch. These are great for entrances, and photo ops and also a great way to frame the cake or present table.
For simple and elegant smaller-scale balloon features, check out our balloon stick holders.
Munchies And Meals
Celebrations call for snacks! Serve up some tasty treats with a side of style. We have everything from assorted paper plates in groups of five or six. For larger guest lists, opt for our plate packs of ten. Keep them hydrated, using party cups in packs of ten. And don’t forget the candles!
Accessories
Set the mood with colourful bunting, great for both indoor and outdoor events. For an extra element of excitement, light up a set of smoke balls. This is great for themes like Jurassic dinosaurs, witches and wizards, or for science lovers.
After: Party Packs And Filler Gifts
For the finishing touches, put together a goody bag for the guests to enjoy once the event is over.
- Activities to take home (sticker art set, stickers, rainbow scratch art, tattoos)
- Kiddies’ accessories (keyrings, magnifiers, sunglasses, dolphin pendants)
- Terrific trinkets (slinkys, squishy stress balls, critters, toy capsules, card sets)
- And more!
