Enchanted Teacup Birthday Party Review:
Magical and Relaxing

May 14 2012

Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Birthday Party Guide, One Parents Perspective, Parenting Resources, Reviews

It was the calmest birthday party I’ve ever attended. Seven three and four year-olds, gifts, cake, dressup, princesses, prizes, games and dancing….

You think that those things together are a recipe for chaos but it was completely enchanting. The girls were all completely enraptured and on their best behaviour. It was amazing. And also completely adorable. You could almost say, the party-goers were under a spell!

Enchanted Teacup was the special venue. The birthday girl’s Mom only had to supply a cake, some juice and guests. Everything else (cleanup, invites, games, prizes and entertainment; not to mention the adorable location) were included in the party package. We were fortunate enough to be hosted by two princesses: Snow White and Cinderella!

On Dating My Children:
Birthday Party Guide

Apr 09 2012

Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Birthday Party Guide, One Parents Perspective

We have three kids. My husband and I both work full-time. We both have numerous hobbies and numerous responsibilities. I know that we are not alone; there are many parents in the same boat. Busy. Busy, Busy, Busy. I greatly dislike that word.

When life gets full the first thing to go is the precious one-on-one time that I want to spend with each of my three children. We do things as a family and I make sure that my time with them is quality time as it’s not quantity when I have to leave them to go to work. I know that they know they are loved and I know that I am doing my best to meet each of their needs, but I often feel like something is missing.

So, this past year my husband and I wrote out coupons for Mom-Dates or Dad-Dates, sealed them in monthly envelopes and wrapped them with a ribbon.

A year of dates.

Enchanted Teacup
An Enchanted Place that Captures the Heart of All who Enter!

If you’re looking to step into a fairytale you’ve come to the right place!

Enchanted Teacup specializes in creating childhood memories that will last a lifetime, with their very special theme parties and events. Their very unique party rooms capture the imagination of every child (and adult). From the uniquely painted furniture and wonderful costume selection, to their one-of-a-kind centerpieces. They think of everything. Due to their repeat party goers, they make sure every party is a “One of a Kind”, even with the same theme; ensuring that each child has their very own special day!

Their Parties have been designed through experience, and a lot of it. Formerlly “Once Upon A Birthday Party” they originally opened in 2008 and operated for two years. Not only did they reopen their doors in a better location in Aug 2011, they made their parties even better! All of their parties and events are now “Character Hosted”. These wonderful characters don’t just make an appearance, they are there from start to end. Their parties are very interactive and age appropriate, and are always filled with fun and excitement. When all of their guest are royally attired, the party begins. Since their parties are hosted at the magical castle, Enchanted Teacup does everything! Where else can you get a fully decorated fairytale party room, complete with a royally attired fairytale Hostess, who is there to ensure your party is a great success? Did I mention they do EVERYTHING, and supply everything (except cake and drink,of course)! Your job is to sit back and capture the moment.

Their full-time Hostess who is best known as “Princess Belle” in her breath-taking gown, has taken drama throughout her high school years, as well as some music theatre. Smiling for a photo is not new to her, as she has also worked in the Modeling Industry. They have several part-time hostesses, who come to the castle from time to time, and love to join them for bigger events.

The owner has loved to work with children since she was eleven and, although she is no longer the “Queen”, still loves to interact with children. Her passion for children is obvious when you enter the shop, as it touches the child in everyone who enters. She wishes everyone could experience what she experiences; from the day-to-day feedback on “the shop” and its originality, to the joy in every child’s face from the moment they walk in, to the moment they leave. She can never get enough of hearing children’s comments on being the “Best Birthday Ever” or saying they don’t want to leave! She sees adults saying they wish they were little again! Enchanted Teacup is Kamloops’ Best Kept Secret, but not for long!

To ensure your party date, book now, some Saturdays are already booked four months in advance.

Paper Flowers: Crafting With Kids

Apr 03 2012

Posted by Guest as Adventures in Parenting, Birthday Party Guide, Crafting with Kids

Kammi and kids bring you… Flowers!

…the sure sign spring has sprung and warmer temperatures are here to stay! Flowers also offer us beauty, color and fragrant smells. Although, what is one to do when Spring has just begun and it’s still be a frosty for the buds to start blooming? Well, my daughter and I figured out a way to brighten up our kitchen table with flowers while we eagerly wait for the “real deals” to blossom…use tissue paper! This is such an easy and fun craft for all ages to enjoy and quickly adds a splash of color to any room. While we created multiple colored flowers and decorated a “vase” to set on the table you could also make these as a single flower or bunch a group together as a bouquet for a Mother’s Day present, help support Earth Day on April 22^nd or hand out to friends and family on May Day (May 1^st).
