"Great experience!"

Thank you for the lovely decorations, Lego supplies and prizes included in our packaway parties box. Communication was amazing and I had a clear email explaining exactly what I was going to have in the box.
The plan was also great which meant planning the party was nice and easy.
Thanks again, great experience using packaway parties!

"Harry Potter party"

We really enjoyed putting on this Harry Potter party for our daughter’s 10th birthday. She and her friends had a great time, the games were excellent, the instructions really clear and it was all extremely well organised which meant the children had a great time!

"Without a doubt the most stress-free…"

Without a doubt the most stress-free party I've run. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved all the activities and games. It arrived really well organised with easy to understand and clear instructions. My daughter found the arrival of the crate and going through the contents as exciting as the party. Would recommend.

"My 5year old had the Harry Potter party…"

My 5year old had the Harry Potter party package, which was just so good. Way exceeded my expectations, and I loved all the range of games included. The Honeydukes sweetshop was also a massive hit. Liz was very helpful as well. Would 100% recommend. Thank you!!

"The most amazing Harry Potter party any…"

The most amazing Harry Potter party any 9 year old could wish for! Honestly, I could not believe my luck when I stumbled across Packaway Parties. My daughter had asked for a Harry Potter party, and I was so disorganised I had left it to only a few weeks before. I started searching for party ideas, and realised that it would cost a fortune and take more time than I had to organise. That's when I found Packaway Parties. The sigh of relief when our party date was available. And the whole thing was mind-blowingly awesome! I cannot explain the attention to detail in the package from Liz. Everything you could ever want - costumes (even for the grown ups), decorations, signs, ready made party games (with prizes). We also upgraded and had the deluxe package with the sweet shop. We really had very little to do other than provide the party food and read the party plan. The kids had the best time - the party went down so well, they still talk about it now over a month on. Packaway Parties took all of the stress and hard work out of hosting a party at home. The delivery / collection was so efficient. I am eternally grateful to Liz, and I really would recommend this to anyone wanting to have a fabulous party but without any of the hassle.

"Hogwarts extraordinaire!"

Liz at Packaway Parties is wonderfully communicative and efficient. We ordered the Harry Potter package for 12 girls aged 8-9. The resources enabled us to transform our home into a magical portal to Hogwarts. The itinerary and games provided were fairly simple to follow and gave us an action-packed two hours. We skipped one game in order to fit everything in comfortably, and to suit our guests.

As a parent, it was a sweet relief to be able to pack up all the party paraphernalia into one big box, which was collected by a courier, included in the price. In a culture where there's so much fast fashion and waste, it's good to know that the items will be used many times over and won't increase the clutter at home.

Although we are quite creative, we saved so much time by not having to collate and prepare the resources ourselves - and money too. The talking Dobby, plush Hedwig and Monster book were big hits and we would not have purchased them just for a party. The house flags and large Hogwarts picture gave the party room a real 'wow' factor and all the extra little props and costumes really accentuated the Hogwarts atmosphere. One child told her parents it was the best party she'd ever been to. All the children seemed to enjoy getting into character and stayed engaged throughout, even those who hadn't personally read or watched any Harry Potter. Sometimes I gave a bit of backstory to help give a context for the games.

We hired the sweet shop as an extra, which we had hidden upstairs. The children were so excited to bring their gold coins from the Monster book game, to find that Honeyduke's had landed in our box room. The backdrop provided looks very realistic! We used the sweets as their party bags.

As a handy hint, for the Hedwig game, if you know how to tie a highwayman's hitch knot then you can dangle the keys from strings, which release when pulled.

Also in hindsight, a bit of orange or brown food colouring in the cream soda would have given it a more authentic Butterbeer look.

"A brilliant experience from start to…"

A brilliant experience from start to end! We have just had the Roald Dahl party for my daughter’s 7th birthday for 16 of her friends. The games were all brilliant, and perfectly pitched to that age group. The props / costumes / prizes / instructions were all excellent and Liz was very easy to deal with. Would highly recommend.

"Absolutely fantastic company"

Absolutely fantastic company. Kids parties made easy. We had a Lego party for my sons 6th birthday and Liz was great with communication. The massive kit arrived with huge amounts of party equipment and games. Plus a folder with detailed information on how to structure the day, what games to play and even supplied the prizes. All games were individually bagged and so very easy to make happen with a busy house of children. Incredible attention to detail and so well organised.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend packaway parties.
Thank you Liz for making a child very happy (and the parents too!)

"Fantastic Lego Party!"

I recently hosted the Packaway Lego Party for my son's 6th Birthday with 23 children and it was absoloutely brilliant!!. Liz from the start was great and really helpful, quick responses on all communication we had, any questions I had were answered straight away and the whole process has been flawless.
The attention to detail is amazing, as described you literally have everything you need in one big box to host an epic party. The delivery and collection process was so effortless and as its sent a few days before the party you can familiarise yourself with all the decorations and instructions. We had the deluxe package which included the pre- filled party bags which was a great option! The party instructions are so detailed, well thought out and clear to follow.
From start to finish its a fantastic concept and would highly recommend Packaway Parties and will be booking them again!

"Really helpful box"

Really helpful box. We had a Harry Potter party and everything was included from decorations to wands and cloaks, and a game plan. There was an easy to follow, step by step guide. Everyone seemed to have fun.
