Personal birthday greetings with children’s entertainers and mascots
A birthday, family celebration or surprise becomes much more memorable when the guest of honour is placed at the centre of the story. Shake Party provides mobile children’s entertainment with party entertainers, costumed characters and mascot appearances. We can come to your home, a hired venue, a restaurant or another suitable location and adapt the programme to your event.
The children always come first: their ages, interests, group size and preferred language shape the experience. We do not use one rigid script for every party. Games, music, creative activities and character appearances are combined to suit the group, the available space and the duration you book.
Which occasions are suitable?
Our personalised greetings and entertainment programmes work well for private celebrations and business events where you want to create a lively, personal surprise. Popular occasions include:
- children’s birthday parties at home or in a hired venue
- family celebrations, christenings and school enrolment parties
- events at nurseries, clubs and companies
- Christmas, New Year, Easter and Halloween celebrations
- openings, community events and seasonal promotions
- personal surprises for children and adults
If you are planning the whole celebration, you can find more details on our page about a children’s birthday party with entertainers.
What can the children’s programme include?
We agree the programme with you before the event. Depending on the children’s ages, the chosen theme and the package, it may include:
- a personal welcome and short warm-up games
- active games, team challenges and age-appropriate competitions
- quiz questions, a mini quest or themed puzzles
- a creative mini workshop, such as bracelet making, slime or a craft activity
- glitter tattoos and time for photographs
- a mini disco, karaoke or a short birthday cake ceremony
Face painting, a piñata, balloon figures, a bubble show, photography, video or additional workshops may be added depending on availability and the selected programme. Before you book, we explain clearly what is included and which services are optional.
Characters and party themes
Subject to availability, you can choose from a range of characters and themes, including:
- Fairy tales and princesses: Elsa and Anna, Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel
- Adventure and magic: Spider-Man, Super Woman, Harry Potter and Hermione, and Wednesday and Enid
- Games and animation: Pikachu, Stitch, Steve and Creeper, and Skye and Chase
- Mascot appearances: the White Bear and Bunny Mimi
- Seasonal programmes: Santa with Elsa, and Father Frost with the Snow Maiden
Many themed programmes are performed by a team of two entertainers. This creates more energy, allows for a wider range of games and helps the team look after the children throughout the programme. The exact team depends on the character, the occasion and the size of the group.
A character appearance can also be arranged as a special gift for a child. Tell us the child’s name, age and interests so that we can make the surprise feel personal.
A personalised video greeting
If an in-person appearance is not possible, a personalised video greeting is a thoughtful alternative. The chosen character can address the child by name and mention their age, the occasion, a personal wish or a short message from the family. It is also a lovely option when relatives or friends live too far away to attend.
Personalisation and ordering details are available with our video greeting from a favourite character.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a children’s programme cost?
Many one-hour themed programmes with two entertainers cost €200. The final price depends on the duration, team, optional services and event location. Travel is charged separately.
How many entertainers attend the party?
Many of our programmes are delivered by two entertainers. This is often suitable for groups of up to around twelve children. For a larger group, a wide age range or a more extensive schedule, an additional entertainer may be advisable. We recommend the right team after reviewing your event details.
Which ages are the programmes suitable for?
We adjust the content and pace to the children’s ages. Younger children usually respond best to a gentle welcome, music and simple participation games. School-age children can take a more active part in competitions, quests, quizzes and workshops.
Can the party take place outdoors?
Yes, provided the area is safe and suitable. There should be a sheltered alternative in case of strong sun, rain or wind. Technical equipment and craft materials must be kept dry and used safely.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular weekend dates and seasonal programmes can fill early, so it is best to enquire as soon as you know the date. A time slot is only reserved after all details have been agreed and the required deposit has been paid.
What do we need to prepare at the venue?
A clear play area, an easy meeting point and parking or access information are helpful. If the programme includes sound equipment or a workshop, we will confirm any requirements for power, tables or other facilities in advance.
Enquire about your date
Tell us when and where you would like to celebrate, the children’s ages, and the characters or activities you have in mind. You can send the details through the Shake Party contact page. We will check availability and suggest a suitable combination for your event.
