We’ve just had my twins’ 10th birthday party at Oxygen trampoline park<\/a> and they loved it. It got me thinking about parties past, from massive church hall affairs to pop star recording parties… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covid-enforced virtual parties were the reality for so many kids in 2020; my eldest being one. For her 12th, we sent ahead menus from one of her favourite places (Fego<\/a>) to her friends and organised synchronised delivery and dinner party over Zoom. There was lots of chatting and laughter and she really enjoyed it. Family were allowed to join to bring in the cake and sing happy birthday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all had their first sleepover party aged nine. At this age they suddenly seemed much more mature and I felt more confident that none of the guests would get homesick\/have a wobble. Sofia’s coincided with the X Factor final so that was the theme, and twins Maria and Gabby had a movie night theme with a pre-approved film to watch (Trolls World Tour). Pizzas were ordered in, lots of treats were supplied and I organised a few games. However, they mainly wanted to just chat, play and create their own entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pop Star Recording Party<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Party\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recording studio Echo 7<\/a> hosts two-hour parties where you get sole use of the studio facilities with three staff. The party record one song as a group and the birthday child gets solo recording time. There’s a mocktail reception, a constant supply of snacks (plus chocolate fountain) and they get to walk the red carpet. The crew take lots of pictures and record footage, which is all included in a video they create to accompany the recording. A link to the final edit of the video (unlisted on YouTube) is sent to the birthday child and all guests. This was so popular even with the shyer guests.
