I digress from the theme of Estate and Garage sales for this post because my priority today is to book my kids birthday party.
As a work-at-home mom, I enjoy a little extra time while I am not commuting to a place of employment to do extra things. One of the things I do with my extra time (around 5 a.m. usually) these days is research entertainment for events that I am planning to have in the future.
In the past I have done my kids' parties at my local community center and the Little Gym (which I highly recommend as well). This year, however, I am doing a joint birthday party for my son and daughter because: A) their birthdays are only nine days apart; b) they are getting older; C) I can’t handle planning two birthday parties, especially around holiday time.
This year, their party will be held at DoodleBugz, a gift store and children's party center in Madison, NJ. The store and its attached party studio are located at 55 Main St. DoodleBugz offers several party themes to choose from and this year we are going with superheroes. DoodleBugz recommends bagels served when the party begins in the morning (I booked 10:30 am) or pizza served at the end. You provide any food, drink and paper goods. During the party, parents can take comfort in a parent lounge located at the front of the store featuring a flat screen TV and couches and chairs.
According to the party center, the Super Super Hero Convention theme which I chose has the kids decorate their own original power cape and super hero eye mask. They are given super hero (or villain!) names upon arrival and they will watch a mini laser light show with superhero music. The capes are decorated by the kids with felt stickers of different shapes, letters and numbers. The kids also get their face painted by the resident artist and play a kryptonite game with glowsticks directed by DoddlBugz professional party staff.
They get to take home their personalized (with initials) decorated cape, eye mask, and glow stick and the 90 minutes ends with a super hero parade. Now that’s what I call a party!
