DD had a scrapbook party this afternoon and it went really really well!

[pinkbubble]

Infact I cant believe how well it went, 10 children including mine and I didnt hear one child moan, groan or run a mock!

2 and a half hrs of enjoyment, everyone had something to take home and parents seemed pretty impressed too.

Thoroughly recommend it!

What is a scrapbook party?

Glad to hear it went well.

I was thinking about you! Glad you had a good afternoon. Do you have the time to do Scrapbook parties for other childrens parties? Sounds like a business venture to me!

We took photos of DC (fun ones the same size as passport ones) they then stuck then onto card, I had already made folders that had 4 pockets in them, They had lots of bits and pieces to stick on . They then stuck their photo on a luggage label and threaded ribbon at the top. On the outside of the folder I took a picture of all the girls.

We called it making a memory party!

I must admit, as I was getting all the bits ready I did think about offering my services out!

I really enjoyed it!

Did cheat on the birthday cake thou!- Thanks Tesco

Might be worth putting the feelers out PB. Sounds like it was popular. I did exactly the same. I'm pretty good onthe making front and I did a making party for DD's 9th birthday I think and sent out business cards in the party bags!

Its certainly worth a thought, even if itis a passing phase!

Trouble is I wouldn't know how to price it!

I wonder if anyone will approach me!Heres hoping!

I phoned all the places that kids usually go for parties round here. Like bowling, swimming, McD's etc and then priced in the middle. I charge £8.50 per child, which is actually cheap, since you can argue that they'll be no need for a party bag. I made a questionnaire which I gave to various friends that went to different schools to me, asking how much parents would pay, did they think it was a good/different idea and what target audience they thought it would suit. Go on! You can but try!

Did you include food, or is that up to the parent?

No, no food. I suggest 2 projects for a 2 hour party. The first one lasts 45mins, then break for food for 30mins, then another for 45mins. Of course, you could start something, then break, then finish. I also tell parents, that they don't need to do anything other than food. I do all the preparation, taking my own table cloths, aprons etc and then I clear everything away again at the end and take all the rubbish home. That way, the parents only have to deal with a tea party.

Thats certainly food for thought! Thanks for that......

bump for PC!

Oh wow, you did a scrapbook party! Glad to hear it was such a success.

See, you can do it, very easy as it probably would only interest females(sorry dont mean to be sexist!)

Think of the extra pocket money!

I will bring DD1 in to school tomorrow, other DDs want to take theirs in to show their teachers - poor teachers!

your scrapbooks are very impressive, but I don't think I am up to the job somehow!
