Party Recap

In the beautiful Berkeley Hotel Ballroom, we created the immersive world of Paddington Bear for a 4-year-old girl’s birthday. Our in-house trained, professional actors greeted the guests and took them on an adventure to find and meet Paddington Bear.

Our stage was Paddington’s house, our entrance was that of Buckingham Palace with our very own guard stand. The guests could also see iconic landmarks, road crossings and transport; we created ‘London’ inside for all to discover. Some of the best bits included a personalised London bus, life size post box and red phone box; all of which were nostalgic for the grown ups and relevantly fun for the children.

We entertained the children with a bespoke written theatre show that concluded in the real Paddington Bear walking through the Brown’s front door. Once they had met Paddington, the children were involved in writing London postcards which their parents could address to their homes or family members for us to post for real. Paddington and his friends then helped the children to make their own mini suitcases and marmalade jars with labels to personalise! For the younger party goers, we had a separate craft station and colourful soft play to engage them throughout.

The birthday tea-time further celebrated the theme, contributing to the theatre of the day. The children were invited to sit at half sized white wooden tables and chairs, finished with colour matched ribbon tassels. Couture Paddington themed bubble balloons floated above them, whilst the tables were adorned with crisp white London landmarks. Personalised white tableware sat upon a white fabric runner, lined with potted white hydrangea. Upon each place setting was a fun addressed envelope for the children to tear open revealing their gold tipped cutlery.

To match the grandeur of the Ballroom, the balloons were couture. There were the clear spherical bubble balloons as mentioned above, filled with confetti and finished with bespoke, themed shapes down the string tail. As well as 55 of these, there were also 9 impactful, colour matched, giant balloons finished with 2m tassel tails.

The treat table was formed as a lost property office in a London station. The scenery behind the table was a book case filled with lost property including vintage style toys, brown paper parcels and items of vintage clothing. Adorning the rustic style table were many a treat to excite guests of all ages including:
- Realistic Paddington Bear cake pops with his traditional tag
- Themed cupcakes set upon a real vintage toy bus
- Cookie stacks tied with colour matched ribbons
- Hand painted biscuits, postcard designs and addressed envelope designs
- Swirl design macarons
- Red and blue meringue kisses
- Cookie sandwiches with real fruit
- Colour match sweets in jars
The birthday girl also received her name in hand painted letters to both adorn the table and take home afterwards. The centrepiece of any treat table is the cake. This one was a masterpiece. An edible, life-like Paddington Bear sat upon a round tiered cake, which was positioned on Paddington’s suitcase (also edible). These elements were surrounded by London landmarks…you’ve guessed it, edible!

To thank each of her guests for coming, the birthday girl handed out bespoke designed fabric party bags, containing official Paddington merchandise.

All guests went home with a balloon, a bag of treats and a party favour bag and I bet everyone slept well after what was a fun-filled afternoon!
