This weekend we were invited to be a part of a socially distanced backyard outdoor 10th birthday party in Oakville, Ontario. 

This party was for a total of 6 girls, consisting of 3 sets of sisters.  The mom had us come at 10:30 a.m. so that it would not be too hot for the girls to make their bracelets.  The birthday girl really wanted the bracelets to be a bit more grown up, she wanted to incorporate her favourite colour blue, and she loved the idea of each girl being able to put her name on her bracelet. 

We sanitized the boards ahead of the party. The birthday girl choose the bead colours and charms prior to the party and we prepared, sanitized and safely individually packaged each bracelet project. Then we distributed them to  the children at the party in the shaded backyard.  Each set of sisters sat on their own blanket and the girls were able to chat and catch up while beading together, the bracelets took about 45 minutes to make and then we did some colouring while we waited for everyone to finish.  Once the bracelets were made, the mom handed out pre-made picnic lunches that she had made that morning and customized to what each girl liked to eat, it was such a nice touch.

This was such a fun party and we were so happy to be a part of it. 

 As we return to providing onsite birthday parties, the health and well being of our customers and team members is our top priority, this is what we are doing to keep us all safe.  

We have created a new party package where the children can make bracelets and personalized boomarks for smaller parties with six children or less for those that would prefer a smaller party, this party can take place outdoors.   We also have an American Girl themed birthday party for 8 children or less.

We are maintaining the highest standard of safety and sanitization when it comes to our beads and other materials.  The birthday child will choose the bracelet and bookmark colours and charms and will provide us with the party guests names prior to the party and we will prepare, sanitize and safely individually package each bracelet and bookmark project prior to the party.  They will be distributed by the instructor to the children at the party.

We will continue to follow the recommendations of local, provincial and national public health officials.  

We are so excited to be able to bead with you again! 

We wanted to share about this 8th unicorn jewelry making birthday party that we did in Oakville, Ontario.  We knew most of the guests from running jewelry making programs at their school and that always makes it an extra special party for us.

The event venue was the restaurant at the Ontario Racquet Club and it was the perfect location.  The 7 and 8 year old guests made bracelets with unicorn charms and they did such a great job.  The party decor was rose gold, blush and gold and it was so beautiful. 

We had the best time making unicorn bracelets with these crafty girls!  Thank you for letting us be a part of your 8th birthday party celebration.

So far this year, our unicorn fancy bracelet party has been our most popular.  This package, designed for girls ages 5-8, is perfect for a unicorn themed birthday party, children are taught to make a memory wire bracelet with a special unicorn charm.  Using our professional bead trays, each little beader will customize their bracelet with the charm of their choice and by choosing their favourite special sparkly beads.

We love the children's excitement when they see the many beautiful beads and charms that they can choose from. Once they have completed their work of art, we play a few games, have a fashion show and do a photo shoot (optional).

The package includes beading materials for a bracelet, instructors for 75 minutes, beading princess tiara, special colouring activity, invitations and elegant jewellery storage pouch. $170 plus hst for 10 children or less, $16 plus hst for each additional child.

Here are some photos from a Mississauga, Ontario girl's 6th unicorn themed birthday party that we did this weekend.  The mom planned the party as a surprise for her daughter.  The girls made unicorn bracelets and then did our special unicorn themed colouring activity.  It was such a fun and special party!

We do so many amazing birthday parties such as a American Girl birthday tea party that we recently did in Oakville, Ontario.  This mom had so many easy and craft DIY ideas that we just had to pass on.

The mom invited all the guests to bring their favourite doll.  The entire party was planned with fun activities incorporating the dolls.   The girls made friendship bracelets with matching necklaces for their dolls which became the party loot bag. 

Then the mom set up the cutest tea party, with seating for all the girls and their dolls.  She made heart shaped sandwiches inspired by this blog post.  The mom also made a cake with the AG star on it and then added a tiara, such a simple idea but with so much impact.  The mom made star sugar cookies ahead of time using this recipe and then the girls decorated them and took them home as a loot bag.

It was one of the cutest parties and the girls all had such a great time!  For more American Girl party ideas check out our American Girl blog post.
