Packaway Parties Reviews 

Great service and idea. Everything was so well thought through and clever. Loved all the decorations and little touches that were so helpful, like including tacs and bluetac. Great quality. The games were explained well and easy to grasp. Very imaginative and great fun for the kids.

The whole service is super easy to use with the courier pre arranged and everything you need in 1 box. I would definitely recommend and use again . Loved that it saved me buying all the theme stuff which I would t then use again.

This is the second time I’ve used Packaway Parties. It’s an amazing idea - everything you need without the waste or hassle typically associated with organising kids’ parties - and the logistics of receiving and returning the box couldn’t be easier.

Big thank you to Liz for the great service!

The package was great - so much stuff to use, with clear instructions and suggestions on how to use it.

I used Packaway Parties for my daughter's 7th birthday party. She wanted a Harry Potter theme and I was on a tight budget. I was amazed by how much was in the box! 18Kg of costumes, props and games! I held the party at my house and a friend helped me to host. There were 13 children altogether. It was the hottest day of the year so I was a bit anxious about everyone being too hot but it was fabulous! The party plan instructions were simple to follow and very organised and Liz contacted me several times before and after the party to make sure everything was okay. I would recommend this company to anyone and hope to use them again soon. We also played with everything again the next day and took lots of photos! Thank you so much!

My daughter had a wonderful Harry Potter party for her 8th birthday. All the games and ideas were fantastic and perfect for their age - they loved magic candles, The Book of Monsters and Dobby's Sock Game! All the girls truly believed in the magic of it all! Decorations looked great and were much better than what we could have put together or purchased ourselves. It was a very easy process and I have already recommended to other parents!

I definitely recommend Packaway Parties if you want to give a special touch to your birthday party. We had a Harry Potter theme party and we hired all the decorations and costumes. Both kids and parents loved them.
Liz is very well organised and the communication around delivery and everything else is perfect. She was also flexible to tailor the party package around my needs.

Will definitely use it again.

Very well thought out and organised! The kids absolutely loved it!

It was probably the best, and the easiest, party that we’ve ever put on: it was really fun for us (also Harry Potter fans) to get involved with the costumes and the story of wizard lessons. The decorations all added great atmosphere, especially the honeydukes sweet shop and banners, and the games were just right: not too long, great variety and using props that we would never have invested in ourselves – so that made it really special. It was so easy to follow the games instructions and they kept everyone entertained for the full 2.5 hours. I loved that they won a gold coin in one game and then could spend it at the sweet shop for another activity. One of the best things about it was also that we could pack it all back up into the box (no leftover debris) and know that it will all be re-used: this, and the very eco-friendly party bags, was great. The drop off and collection was very efficient and we would definitely recommend this brilliant way of putting on a children’s party.

We chose the Ninjago Party and my son and his friends had the best time. They were all Ninja's for the day and received a certificate at the end to show they had completed their training. The package had everything we needed and more, you only really need to supply the food and cake!. It was all so organised and we had great feedback from the parents. Be prepared to get familiar with the games beforehand, there is some effort involved to ensure smooth running of the party. I never thought I would end up being a party entertainer but it was easy and fun and great value for money.
I would 100% recommend Packaway Party to anyone.

We used Packaway Parties for our daughters 6th birthday party.
The Harry Potter theme is fantastic.
Such a sustainable way to create a dramatic effect. The decorations are great, even in a large space. We hired a village hall and it was perfect.
Adding on the tableware and party bags made it hassle free.
Just be prepared to need to be the entertainer. I managed but was a bit nervous to try and keep 20 children’s attention but the games provided did that.
I’ve had amazing comments from the other parents, all the children had an amazing time.
Thank you to Liz for being so helpful and it running so smoothly.

This is such a great idea for a children’s birthday party and much more sustainable. My daughter and her friends had such a magical time at her Harry Potter party and the feedback from their parents was so positive. The children loved the cauldron with real mist and I would definitely recommend the Honeydukes sweet shop add on.
It was so nice to have a more traditional birthday party in the garden with such a creative twist. It far exceeds something like a soft play party and feels so much more personal. I would absolutely have a Packaway party again!

Wow - this was a truly amazing, organised and personalised party package. We ordered the deluxe package and the sweet shop, both of these are excellent value for money and enormously time saving. Everything about the company shouts exceptional quality whether it be the prompt communication, decorations, party games or the perfect organisation. For a very busy family having a box arrive a few days before the party with everything you could possibly need or more was very time saving for us. We couldn't believe how much was packed into the box, much more than we were expecting. The instructions were organised and easy to follow. There were plenty of ways to adapt the activities to your own needs. Everything had been well thought out and carefully planned. The best thing of all was the reaction of the children at the party. They all said this was the best party they had been too, adored the games and becoming a Ninjago Ninja! We can't recommend this enough and we will be booking again!

What a fantastic idea! Liz helped me create a brilliant Willy Wonka themed party for my son’s 5th birthday! We had the party in a generic church hall but it was transformed with the wonderful decorations! The kids loved the party bags with the chocolate bar concealing a golden ticket - pack away parties made it a really special themed event and Liz was also quick to respond and received & sending back all the party prep was hassle free and easy! Would definitely recommend!

Liz was lovely to liaise with, so helpful and organised. The party box was great, with loads of props and decorations. The games were fantastic too and took lots of the stress away from party planning!

This was a unique and special party that we’ll remember for years to come! Communcation with “Packaway Parties” was smooth, efficient and personal. I couldn’t believe that all the things we got to hire and keep all fitted into a single box! It was all so well organised and thought through. The level of detail was impressive! The party did require prepping, but the 2-days given for that was more than sufficinet. My son enjoyed his Harry Potter party so much, and I’m hearing his friends did too. It was a great way to get to know his friends and have fun. Elements of it was quite magic! Would definitely recommend “Packaway Parties”.

Great party experience - everything we needed was in the box, decorations and all!

Such a fantastic party! All the kids (age 5-8) loved it! The instructions were clear and everything ran to time as per the schedule.

The decorations and props were good quality and games were imaginative and fun. The magic of Hogwarts was recreated in our home!

The courier service was straight forward.

The whole experience was brilliant and I would recommend to anyone.

Only thing to note is that it is quite time consuming to prepare for eg get your head round the activities and put up the decorations etc. It also requires a lot of input on the day but this is part of the fun! Just make sure you have enough help/support around to facilitate it.

The Harry Potter party pack was absolutely fantastic. I was concerned that it might be a bit young for children aged 9 and 10. However, I could not have been more wrong! The children all loved it and said it was the best party they had ever been to!

The pack contained so much and was very impressive. There were so many decorations that we couldn't use them all! The games were great fun and props were fantastic. The pack contains full and very clear details about how to play the games, as well as timings and a suggested schedule.

The courier arrangments were also brilliant and the whole process was complete seamless. I love the eco side of this and the reduction in waste from reusing items. The whole process was absolutely brilliant and I would definitely recommend!

A brilliant find and so glad I chose to use Packaway parties for my sons birthday. We hired the Lego party and all the children had lots of fun. The organisation was very easy given that Liz had written out comprehensive instructions and everything was clearly labelled. Delivery and collection of the party box was really easy. There was a good range of games, we substituted in our own pass the parcel game for one. Tons of decorations and excellent props to use, it saved me so much time it was well worth it and justified the cost. Excellent communication from Liz too when enquiring. Thank you!

The kids LOVED it! So creatively planned and every little attention to detail was excellent. My son was so excited to decorate and could hardly contain himself. The sweet store was brilliant. They loved the parachute and obstacle course games and the party bags were excellent. Perfect for a fun filled, relaxed, stress free event- very reasonably priced for all the amazing stuff you get and all flawless with delivery, couriers etc- what a wonderful business and I would thoroughly recommend
