Acrobranch is a tree top experience allowing your guest to move between huge trees(SAFELY and HARNESSED UP!!) This is such an awesome way to celebrate your little ones special day. They have great party spots and special offers for large groups. The Acrobranch venues are self catering and keep your little monkey's busy all day long.

10. At Home - Your Place ;)
Yes I know that venues offer less cleanup but a party at home offers absolute comfort. Your home is what your children know and love. Kids love a day out with their besties and family but I never see kids as relaxed as at home. It is their space and every kiddo loves to show off their place to their friends. Mom and dad, your home offers a raw setup for the decor you want, for the face painter, jumping castles and more, you also save on a venue fee. And when it comes to clean up, paper plates are quick to throw away and family members make for a fab cleanup crew ;)
I just love photographing kiddies parties, it's definitely a passion of mine. Want to know why?
