Ladybug everything! A theme birthday party idea

As a child I loved ladybugs. I remember playing with them and being amazed by their bright red and black colors.
As a face painter, I have been to many birthday parties, and in 7 years I have only been to one lady bug birthday party. They did a wonderful job with the decorations, cake, etc.
Here are some great ideas for an awesome and unique ladybug birthday party.

Decorations:
A lady bug theme doesn't really have to be just red and black. I have found that pink and black, or red black and green look beautiful together:


There are so many things that can be done with the decorations... If you're a crafty mom, them printing out lady bugs and sticking them on paper flowers shown in the picture above would make an unique and beautiful decoration.
Also red and black poke a dot balloons make decorations pop. I have to say, the balloon décor picture below is extremely cute:
One great invitation idea:
This invitation idea is too cute and its so easy to make yourself!
 
Deserts and cake!
Cake pops, cookies, candy buffet and cake; ladybug everything!
 

Entertainment:
Great ideas for a ladybug birthday party are face painting, balloon art, nail art and games. They can definitely be customized to match your lady bug theme:

DJ and Karaoke Fun - Great Ideas for All Event Types & Ages

DJ with Karaoke entertainment can really make any event or party fun and unforgettable. As an entertainer, I have been to many events and have seen DJ/karaoke entertainment for all ages. Below you will find great ideas for any event.

Kids Parties

To have a DJ for your child's party is extremely fun, and can be customized to your child's age, party theme, etc. Ask for available kids packages, such as DJ, Karaoke and games with prices included. A DJ can customize a package depending on the age of your child and music they like.

Business Grand Openings

 If you are a new business owner, to have a DJ at your store front with great music and entertainment will catch the attention of prospective customers passing by. You can also arrange for the DJ to announce special offers and give out coupons or flyers of your business.

Weddings/Sweet 16 or Quinceañeras

A great DJ will dress accordingly to each event, do the animation and announcements such as presentation of the couple or quinceañera, come with all equipment, bring lighting, fogger, and music customized for the specific event.

DJ Entertainment for Restaurants and Nightclubs

People expect great music when going to restaurants or nightclubs. To hire a DJ on an ongoing contract basis, you should always see them perform first. Give them a trial night to perform at your venue, or ask if you can go to one of their gigs. This will allow you to determine if they a the right fit for your restaurant or nightclub.

For more information about our DJ services, or help planning your party, feel free to call me directly at 407-350-8068

Unique Easter Celebration!

Painted by Susy Amaro

As a child Easter is one of the most memorable yearly celebrations. The egg hunt, the candy, the Easter bunny, and the pastel colors, fill children up with excitement. The following are some wonderful new, and other not-so-new ideas to make your children's Easter unforgettable.

Have entertainers for the following:
  • Face painting - the great thing about face painting is that you can ask your face painter to bring pictures related to the theme of the party. An experienced and professional face painter will be capable of creating a printed set of pictures that are Easter theme.
  • Balloon art - Like balloon art, if you'd like your balloon artist to just do themed balloon animals, like an Easter bunny balloon. Then simply request it at the time of booking. Again, an experienced and professional balloon artist will be capable to accommodate to your theme needs.
  • Easter bunny character - Wouldn't it be unforgettable for the Easter bunny to assist your children with the egg hunt? Your kids will be thrilled. The options for Easter characters are Easter bunny boy or girl, the Easter bunny could bring a gifts and balloons for the kids,play games with the children, dance, etc.
  • Easter balloon décor - If you don't have the time to decorate, and at the same time want to transform your event into an enchanted Easter world, then an event decorator can do just that. From a balloon arch, Easter balloon columns, balloon center pieces, balloon baskets for each child, the options are endless!
As always, if you need help, you can give us a call for a free event planning consultation. Happy Easter!

Her Princess Party... A Dream Come True



As a little girl I remember dreaming about the fairy tale movies I watched over and over. The Little Mermaid was one of them. No kidding, I watched that movie over 20 times as a child... As a face painter, I've been to many princess birthday parties and can't help but remember those enchanted days of imagination. These memories encourage me to give these girls the birthday party of their dreams.
Here's what I have gathered to build the princess party of your little princess dreams:

Choose entertainment:

 Ask your little princess what she would like from the following options: Face painting, balloon art, glitter tattoos or nail art. It's her dream party, right? Whether you choose to get one or all the forms of entertainment previously mentioned, your birthday girl will thank you for it.
Have the princess pay your birthday girl a surprise visit. That is the ultimate dream for your little one. Call us for availability!  
 

Balloon decorations

There is so much you can do when it comes to balloon décor. You can transform your venue into an enchanted princess paradise. Plus, if you do not have time to decorate your venue, it is extremely convenient to have an expert transform your party.
 Dress up time, Games, Favors and Cake!
  • Have the female guests dress up as princesses or have costumes ready for each one of them.
  • Play games and modify them to match the party theme.
  • Go store to store to find the perfect theme toys and candies.
  • Have a theme candy station
  • Find the right baker to make your cake!
And remember, at www.funnycheeks.com you can find everything you need to make your princess party unforgettable.
Happily ever after...

A Special Valentine's


Even though Valentine's day is not an actual holiday, most of us find it very important. Showing your loved ones how you feel is just crucial on this day. Here's a few great ideas you can use to make that day special for your children.

Kids love face painting, balloon art, glitter tattoos and candy!


Face painting - Moms, teachers, etc. buy yourself a face painting kit and paint hearts on your kids!
Balloon art - Gift them with heart shaped balloons.
Glitter tattoos- Get a glitter tattoo kit in heart shapes and glitter away!
Candy- You can't go wrong with Valentine themed candy. Just one day of hyperness due to candy never hurt anyone... or did it?

Of course, if you are too busy with other arrangements, you can always contact us, and we will be happy to be a part of your Valentine's celebration.
Happy Valentine's Day from FunnyCheeks!


Love,

Go ALL OUT with your next birthday party for your special child



I know how special you want your child to feel on their next birthday party... As a mother and a face painter I have been there. I usually start months in advance to plan the perfect birthday party. I research themes, an forms of entertainment associated with that theme. Based on what I have personally struggled all these years as a mom, and the hundreds of birthday parties I've been hired as a face painter and balloon artist, I wanted to make it easy for parents in Central Florida to find everything in one place.
A few words of advice that I give parents is:
  • To plan the perfect birthday party, begin planning at least three months in advance. I know this may sound too much for some parents, however, there is way less pressure at the end. There is plenty of time to shop around and find the right prices. Not only will you save money, they money will be spent in small portions. You will seem like you spent a ton when you really didn't.
  • Book entertainment early. These days to have an entertainer at your child's birthday party is extremely fun, but it also seems like a luxury to many. Booking and entertainer the right way though, can make it attainable to most parents. An early booking will help in two ways. Booking two to three months in advance will ensure availability. Making a large deposit like 50% can also ease out the final payment at the end. Please make sure you are dealing with a credible company and/or have feedback before making a deposit!
I could give many more tips! I would love to know what questions you have. Please feel free to post your questions! Happy planning!
