Harps is an award winning blogger who shares her remarkable journey of motherhood after experiencing post natal depression and an unexpected diagnosis of Down’s syndrome. Her readers have often coined her words “relatable” and “warming”.
You’ll know by now, I love to throw a good ol’ kids birthday party – I feel like it’s a playground for me to be able to execute my creativity. However, with work, being a mummy, taking care of the house and blogging, time can be scarce. Our spare room is also bursting at the seams with party supplies that I’ve collected over the years so when I met Rav from Mini Maniacs and saw her work, I knew she was the absolute solution to my problem! I’m still able to execute my creativity with someone like minded while not having to worry about the logistics, storage AND I save time!
Rav absolutely smashed it with Saajan’s 2nd space themed birthday party and I was super excited to be working with her again for Arjun’s 5th birthday – a birthday that I wanted to celebrate hard. A milestone birthday. It was an emotional one for me!
We decided to go for a Disney Car’s theme party with a bit of a carnival/fun fair theme. We had 55 children attend and we wanted something for everyone.
Rav and I discussed our visions and I let her run with it. I was definitely not disappointed! From the setting of the food buffet table (my favourite part of his parties!) to the gorgeous birthday cake table backdrop which included a gorgeous canvas print produced by Print Station which really bought the theme to life in our back garden.
Rav also decorated the kids tables and chairs – something she puts so much love and attention to detail in. The kids tables and chairs were hired from Birthday Dreams.
We also set up a crafts table – I ordered some car’s key ring crafts sets which I thought the children could attach to their school book bags as well as some car’s key magnet sets for the table from Baker Ross. Leanne from Mini Maniacs managed the crafts table ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Mini Maniacs also provided entertainment towards the end of the party which the younger kids especially really enjoyed! As always, it was full of high energy and music!
We also had a face painter on the day – something we’ve not had since Arjun’s first birthday party! Shailee’s work is like nothing I’ve ever seen before – absolutely breathtaking! She’s so fast and her creations are breathtaking! I would highly recommend her for even grown up parties – her work is seriously impressive and she’s super friendly!
We hired a rush slide and a kids bouncy castle from the Big Bounce Theory which was a big hit with the 5 year olds!
We also had go karts which were manned by the company, Kids n Karts. The children really enjoyed racing around and there was a medal ceremony at the end for the birthday boy.
Our favourite ice cream man, Andy from Snowball Ice Cream was also here providing the kids and adults alike with delicious ice cream throughout the day! I think he’s the only ice cream man who actually still only charges 99p for a 99! His fun personality is always a great hit too!
The adults food was provided by one of my all-time favourite caterers – Sat Kul caterers whose food tastes like home cooked food. Regular catered food is always seeping with oil but I’ve always found their food to be of such a high standard and so tasty and not oily! They are the loveliest bunch of people who work with you to create the right menu for the occasion. We opted for an assortment of starters – spring rolls, aloo tikka and shollay, aloo papdri chaat and chilli paneer (obviously!).
Our day was beautifully captured by Shiv from Shivisuals – he is such a down to earth guy who went out of his way to get Arjun warmed up to him before the event. We spoke about the layout of the day so he was aware of the set up beforehand. He captured the day so beautifully and we’ll definitely be using him again!
Our super cool cake was provided by the fabulous Tranam at Rozay Cakes who never fails to impress with her cakes – both in design and taste!
The party bags were Car’s ruck sacks that I found on eBay which contained a car shaped puzzle, a marker, a set of paints and paintbrushes, some snacks, a car shaped eraser and a slinky.
All in all, Arjun had a brilliant 5th birthday and we enjoyed it just as much! We had lovely feedback from all those that attended! A big thank you to those that helped on the day – forever grateful to our friends like family!
Disclosure: The party décor was provided at cost price and entertainment was gifted by The Mini Maniacs, the face painting and photography was gifted in exchange for an honest and open blog post – all opinions stated above are my own.

Your parties are inspiration! My son wants a PJ max / superhero birthday and I noticed you had this theme for fourth birthday but never wrote post. Do you think you could share some details?
