Party Advice from Funky Kids Party

Just thought I’d share a few helpful tips to make your event run smoothly and be as fun as possible!

As a Funky Kids Party entertainer in Glasgow, I naturally recommend a disco with fun and games—it’s a brilliant way to keep kids entertained and avoid the chaos of a free-for-all party where little ones end up doing karate on each other (or the entertainer!). Kids love dancing, playing games, and staying busy, and parents love knowing their children are having a blast for a full two hours—not just sitting around, but truly enjoying themselves.

​

Here are a few tried-and-true tips to help your party go off without a hitch:

​

Plan Ahead
Try to book your entertainment at least 4–6 weeks in advance. This gives you plenty of time to organise everything at a relaxed pace and increases your chances of securing your preferred date. Once booked, pop a reminder in your calendar to confirm the entertainment a week before the party—double-check the time, location, and any special instructions.

​

Smart Invitations
When sending out invites, include a note about the entertainment and what time it starts. This helps parents prepare their children—especially if any might be nervous around certain entertainers (like clowns, for example). It’s always a good idea to chat with a few parents beforehand to get a feel for your audience. Our Funky Kids Disco Parties are never spooky (except for Halloween, and even then we keep it fun and friendly for younger kids).

​

Perfect Party Timing
We find that a 2-hour party is the sweet spot. Any longer and kids can get a bit too wild! For longer events like christenings and communions, which are more family-focused, we recommend a special “kids hour” after the buffet. We’ll play music for the adults early on, then switch gears with games, dancing, and entertainment just for the kids. We even bring toys for before and after the kids’ hour, giving you time to relax and enjoy catching up with family.

Hope these tips help make your celebration stress-free and full of fun!
