About Party Pack'd

A little bit of party magic, a whole lot of love.

[Photo of Emma]

Hi, I'm Emma, the mum behind Party Pack'd!

My love for parties and celebrations really began when I had children of my own. What started as an excuse to go a little overboard planning my son's birthday parties quickly turned into something I absolutely loved.

From choosing themes and dreaming up decorations to styling tables, creating little details and seeing everything come together, I discovered just how much joy there is in creating a celebration that makes little eyes light up.

Over the years, I've poured so much love into celebrating my own two children, Nash and Harlow. Each birthday has been an opportunity to dream up something new, get creative and create those special memories that we look back on for years to come.

And that's where Party Pack'd was born.

I wanted to take that same love, creativity and attention to detail and share it with other families. Because I know how much mums want to make their children's birthdays special, but I also know how overwhelming planning a party can be!

My vision is simple: to bring a little more magic to children's celebrations while making life a whole lot easier for parents.

Whether it's a beautifully styled birthday party, a fun-filled celebration or those little details that make an event feel extra special, I want every experience to feel thoughtful, joyful and completely memorable.

Because childhood is worth celebrating, and mums deserve to enjoy the party too!

The little people who started it all

Before Party Pack'd, there were Nash and Harlow.

So many themes, countless decorations, late nights planning, lots of DIY and more birthday excitement than I can put into words.

These are the little celebrations that inspired it all, and the reason I love what I do. Every party has a story, and these are ours.

Our little promise

Celebrations don't have to be stressful to be special.

We're here to help bring your ideas to life, take some of the planning off your plate and create moments your children will remember.

More magic, less stress, and a whole lot more time to enjoy watching your little ones celebrate. That's what Party Pack'd is all about.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you book. Can't find your answer? Email us at [your email address] or send us a message through the booking form.

The parties

What ages are your parties best for?

Our parties suit kids from age 3 right up to teens. Each party lists the youngest age it works best for, and you know your child best. We adjust every activity to the age and ability of the group, so every guest feels proud of what they've made.

We also run grown-up workshops for hens and bucks, birthdays, baby showers and nights out. See our Grown-Ups page.

How long does a party run?

Most workshops run for 75 to 90 minutes, depending on the package. That's plenty of time to create without rushing, with time left over for games, food and cake.

Can you match our party theme?

Yes. Whether it's mermaids, pop-star glam, rainbows or her favourite colour, we can style the crafts and the table to suit your theme.

Can we mix crafts or add extras?

Yes. Our add-ons, like a sunnies station, face gems or bag charms, can be added to most packages. You can also combine crafts from different parties. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll put together a package that suits your theme, guests and budget. See Packages & Pricing for the full list.

Does the birthday child get anything special?

Yes. Every party includes a little extra for the birthday child, on top of the creation every guest takes home.

Booking and pricing

How many guests can you cater for?

Every package includes 10 guests, which is our minimum booking. You can add more guests at the per-child price shown on each party, up to 15 (12 for Premium parties). For bigger groups we bring an extra host, and groups of more than 20 are quoted separately because they need more preparation.

How far ahead should I book?

We recommend booking at least four weeks ahead, or six weeks for Premium and custom parties. Weekends fill quickly, and we order materials for every booking, so the more notice the better.

How does payment work?

Once your date is confirmed, we'll send you an invoice and booking details. A [X]% deposit secures your date, and the balance is due [X] days before the party.

What if I need to cancel or change my date?

[Add your cancellation and rescheduling policy]

Where do you travel?

We're based in Melbourne's north-east. Travel is included within [your travel area]. Further afield, a small travel fee applies based on distance. Ask us for a quote.

On the day

Do you bring everything?

Yes. We bring all the craft materials and tools, the styled table set-up and a friendly host to run the workshop from start to finish. [Confirm whether you supply tables and chairs, and if there is a charge]

How much space do you need?

If there's room for the children to sit comfortably around a table, there's room for us. We can set up indoors, outdoors under cover or at a hired venue.

When do you arrive to set up?

We arrive about [45] minutes before your workshop starts, so everything is ready when the guests are. Bigger events and custom set-ups may need extra set-up time, which we'll include in your quote.

Do you clean up afterwards?

Yes. We pack everything away and leave your space as tidy as we found it.

Do parents need to stay?

Yes. A parent or guardian needs to stay at the party and remains responsible for the children. Our host runs the craft activity.

What about allergies and sensitive skin?

Let us know about any allergies or sensitivities when you book. We'll check our materials and adjust where we can, for example with fragrance-free options.

Are your hosts checked and insured?

Yes. Our hosts hold a Working with Children Check, and we carry public liability insurance [for up to $X million].

DIY kits and events

How do DIY party kits work?

Choose your party and the number of guests (6, 8 or 10). We pack everything pre-portioned and labelled, with step-by-step cards, a QR demo video and take-home packaging for every guest. Pick up from Alphington or choose local Melbourne delivery.

Do you do corporate and community events?

Yes. We bring craft stations to corporate family days, school holiday programs, venues and community events. They keep children happily busy, so the grown-ups can relax and enjoy the day. See Party Pack'd Events for more.
