Places to have Birthday parties 2

Another interesting place we had to work was The Great Escape in Glastonbury, Ct. Although they did not allow face painting were hired to provide glitter tattoos at the birthday Party.

The kids loved it!! Even some adults wanted them. The glitter tattoos were perfect - the children would come in, line up, we asked what design they wanted, we took the time to interact with each child while we were applying the tattoos and then off they went!

Glitter tattoos last between 3 to 5 days depending how you treat them. Not rubbing them when wet and avoiding lotions or oils. My daughter had one that lasted about 2 weeks. But the life span for them are 3 days. They are also very easy to remove. You just use rubbing alcohol or baby oil.

The The Great Escape provides a party room and then the playscape is available for the kids to play on. There was also some arcade games and you pay an extra fee for pizza.

Places to have birthday parties part 1

http://www.funtasticalfaces.com/
Since I began face painting, I have been to many interesting places for birthday parties and met many nice people. So I though it would be nice to SHARE some of the places where I have been for some of my jobs. As I remember or go to new jobs, I will continue adding them. I will not be stating prices, however, I will add the link to the place so you can check it out for yourself and see if you like it. I am not promoting these places - I am just sharing my experiences!

The most recent one was the Elmwood Community Center in West Hartford. This was a nice place. There was an elevator, so I did not have to carry all my supplies up the stairs. It was set up like a school. So the bathroom was down the hallway. The room was set up with plenty of tables.



This was one of the guests at the party!
