Parties ideas, locations, stockist etc etc

One parent wrote to me asking me for suggestions for any ideal party locations,where to get stuff etc. Thanks for suggesting that. I have listed it below, as per request. For the rest of the readers , if you have any questions or topics of interest, do write to me, will love to hear from you and get to know you better.

Do drop me some comments under the comments tab if you find the recommendations useful or not so good. I have not tried the services for most of the companies listed here, so can't comment much. Do assess the services and cost of each of these carefully before making an order.

Parties supplies :


1. Online stores

Parties Locations :



1. ExploreKid at Pasir Ris


For ExploreKid at Pasir Ris, my daugther was invited by her classmates and my son was invited as well. I went it with them and I can see their excitment and the fun they had ...I find it very fun and interesting. The whole place is very child friendly and children can just run around with minimal parents supervision. Recommended for kids 3 and above.


The price is about S$25 per head and gives the child unlimited play at the explorekids where they have obstacle course kind of maze. Highly recommended if you not on a tight budget for your kid's birthday

2. Creative Cake Design

Designs are nice and creative but taste so-so not fantastic. If u are looking for novelty...

3. If you like something chocolaty.... then buy your kid's favourite toy (eg thomas train or princess figurine) and put in on top of the cake. The toy can put to good use after the birthday.
