 Options

When it comes to kids parties in Johannesburg, you are spoilt for choice. There is a vast array of entertainment available for activities for birthday parties in this beautiful city of ours. These options can be broken down into many categories. I suppose the two main choices are, do you have your kid’s party at home or do you have it at a dedicated party venue.

Venue

Having a kids party at a venue other than your home has its benefits and its drawbacks.

Pro’s

  • The number one reason for people choosing a dedicated kids party venue would be not having to clean up the mess after the party.
  • Party venues generally have a stipulated start and end time, while this could be considered a negative… When you have to leave the party, annoying Aunt Hilda or your mother-in-law “who never knows when to leave” also has to leave the party.
  • Depending on the level of effort you put into your children’s parties, having it at a venue often means, get in, setup, party, leave. This can help in making the party less demanding on your time as a busy mother…
  • Entertainment, venues that are dedicated to children’s parties usually have jungle gyms, sand pits, bike tracks and perhaps even jumping castles as a feature of their venue, this can kill two birds with one stone by getting entertainment options as part of your venue hire fee.  

Con’s

  • Yours is usually not the only party at a particular venue on a particular day, so time and privacy could be an issue.
  • You generally have to pay for a dedicated kids party venue.
  • Less freedom to do as you please in terms of decor, noise, length of the party and possibly number of guests as you could at home.
  • Bring in all your decorations, catering, entertainment if this is not provided by the party venue. Also, you will need to take it all home with you when you leave. Along with presents etc. This can often be a bit of a drag after a long day of preparation and entertaining your guests.

Party at Home

If you are having the kids party at home. You will either need to do it yourself or hire entertainment, decor and or catering from service providers. Luckily for Kids Parties Johannesburg, our city has many options for you to choose from. Depending on your requirements and budget, you are able to throw incredible parties at home in Johannesburg. We have great weather pretty much year round. 

How to select a Service Provider for Entertainment in Johannesburg

You have no doubt been to many kids parties Johannesburg. You’ve probably seen the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of great service. Unfortunately, you have probably seen or experienced exceptionally poor service. So, how do you go about ensuring that the clown you find on page 15 of Google doesn’t end up as a joke? Below are a couple of pointers that we would recommend…

  • Use recommendations from friends and family. They have been happy with the service that they received and they have your best interests at heart. 
  • Use service providers that you have seen in action, this way you know what you are getting.
  • If you are looking for entertainment that you have not seen before, look for some reviews of their service, Facebook, Hello Peter, Google reviews are just a few places that you can get a quick idea of an entertainment offerings level of service.
  • Ask for references. This can help but is usually skewed. The company in question isn’t exactly going to give you the numbers of their 10 worst clients that were unhappy with their services…
  • Trust your gut. If you deal with a company representative over the phone and they are polite, accommodating and efficient, they respond quickly with a quotation. This should give you a good indication of the kind of service you will receive on the day of the party.

Good Luck, and have a great party!

Parties for kids

Parties for kids – Andy’s Action Parties – Johannesburg – Gauteng. Andy’s Action Parties, the original themed action party entertainment provider in Gauteng. Operating since 2002 we have entertained over 100,000 children at more than 4000 birthday parties.

We are constantly working to offer the best Themed Entertainment at parties for kids. Driven by our motto “Serious About Fun!” we have a range of games and activities designed around popular birthday party themes that we believe will give your child, their best birthday party ever!

Invitations

When organizing parties for kids the first thing you need to do is create an invitation. This is dependant on the theme of the party so your first step is to decide on a theme. Think of what your child is into at the moment. This could be a TV program such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, Fear FactorMinute to Win it. It could be a movie like Star Wars or Ninja Turtles. It could also be something that kids of your child’s age particularly enjoy, like Army, Soccer, Cricket, Rugby or Swimming.

Catering

Once you have a theme this can help you decide on what to cater. This is a very personal thing and you need to decide whether you are catering for the kids, or both kids and adults. Pinterest is a great resource if you are creative and would like to do the catering yourself.

Entertainment

When deciding what to do with the kids at the party a good idea is to think of other parties for kids in your child’s class at school that you have attended. What entertainment has been offered, what worked and what did not. If you like the idea of enjoying the party yourself then our themed action parties are a great option. We will take the kids off your hands for 90 minutes and ensure that they have a great time. All you need to provide is the kids and some space and we will take care of the rest.

With the experience we have gained over the last 16 years doing parties for kids. We know what works and what doesn’t. Ensuring the kids are fully entertained and that everyone enjoys the party is a key factor in a successful party for Kids. Sit back and relax knowing that a well trained professional party entertainer is making sure the children are all looked after and having a great time at the party.

Party Hire Items

If you have sorted out the entertainment or dad has agreed to run around and play with the kids for the whole party then you may want to consider hiring some entertainment items for the party. Hire Garden Games as a relatively inexpensive option. Jumping Castles and inflatable slides are also classic party hire items that kids love. You should also consider what tables, chairs, gazebo’s, catering items you may need to hire for your party.
