Touchstones Birthday Parties A Touchstones Birthday party is not simply about hiring an entertainer, it is about a complete self-contained event planned by a party organiser. Parents don't have to get involved in the party on the day except for food. We do everything and the partygoers are always totally engrossed in the activity, so there is no need for any other form of entertainment or even a party bag. You can also book in confidence knowing that we have been CRB checked for working with children. Touchstones parties were launched in 2003 with the Design-a-Diamante T Shirt Party which proved a fantastic success. It quickly became clear that parents liked the stress-free nature of a well organised party; the quality of the materials; the fact that the children were well occupied & silent (due to the high levels of concentration) for the duration of the party (activity duration 1 to 1 1/2 hours); and that the finished shirts were so well presented it eliminated the need for party bags. Since then we have developed the Touchstones party concept further, following the same successful principles. In each case, the party is designed to engage the partygoers in an artistic activity that results in them taking home a quality finished product at the end of the party. The Touchstones Birthday Party range currently includes.... Diamante T shirt Jewellery Making Paint a T Shirt Design a Fairy's Wings Design a Diamante handbag Design & Name a Teddy Bear

The Original - each partygoer spends time choosing and marking out a design, before placing the Swarovski diamantes and nailheads in the correct position. There is a wonderful range of colours from which to choose and everyone can unleash their creativity in a very individual way. While the party food is being served, the designs are applied onto the shirts and everyone gets to take their shirts home, beautifully wrapped in tissue in a quality bag, so there's no need for a party bag. There is a degree of manual dexterity needed and so we would recommend a Touchstones Design-A-Diamante T Shirt party for girls of 7 and upwards. Complete party duration approx 2 1/2 hours. We use white T-shirts, which are the perfect platform for a great design! All we need to know is the size of shirt for each partygoer before the party. Touchstones Jewellery Making Party
A party for the 5 year old and upwards. The children will create two stunning items of jewellery. Utilising a special system, the partygoers will plan the design of their pieces ensuring, for example, that necklaces are the ideal length. They will have a wide range of sizes, colours and shapes of quality glass & stone from which to choose. Their finished creations will be beautifully presented in a keepsake box which they paint and embellish with Swarovski diamantes. This party is suitable for larger groups. Complete party duration 2 1/2 hours. Touchstones Paint a T Shirt Party
A perfect party for the 4 year old and upwards, boys too! The children will draw and create their own wonderful design using fabric markers & stencils, then embellish their creations with Swarovski diamantes. The stencils can be used to create a theme for the party and should be discussed when booking. We use white T-shirts, which are the perfect
platform for a great design!
All we need to know is the size of shirt for each partygoer
before the party. This party is particularly suitable for larger groups. Complete party duration 2 hours. Touchstones Design a Fairy's Wings Party
A party for the 4 year old and upwards. The children will design and decorate a pair of fairy wings and a wand with glitter glue, stickers, ribbons, beads and Swarovski diamantes.

ALSO GREAT FOR HEN NIGHTS & 18TH BIRTHDAYS TO WEAR OUT ON THE TOWN! Touchstones Design a Diamante Handbag party
A party for girls aged 7 upwards, the diamante handbag party follows a similar system to that of the T-shirt party, with the girls marking out their design and then laying out the coloured diamantes and nailheads. We use high quality denim bags which are the perfect platform for another diamante creation. We have many who book a handbag party, having first had the Diamante T-shirt party experience. Touchstones Design & Name A Teddy Bear Party
We have Teddy Bears that need a loving home, an outfit & an identity !! Each Teddy Bear comes with a plain white T-shirt, which is perfect for you to create your own customised shirt, using fabric markers and glitz. Each Bear also needs a name and you can create a special necklace using glass letter beads and a selection of high quality glass beads. All bears are taken home with a name tag, in a beautiful shopping bag at the end of the party. Touchstones party prices Most Touchstones parties cost £160 for up to 10 children, with additional partygoers charged at £16 each. The teddy bear and handbag parties cost £180 due to the higher cost of the products. On top of this there is a travel charge, based on the distance we have to travel from our base in Rutland.

Feedback The high level of repeat bookings and word of mouth recommendations is for us, the best way to judge that a Touchstones party is a happy and successful party. Most of our feedback comes verbally at the end of the party, but the following quotes are typical. 'In all the years we’ve been doing parties, this is the calmest party we’ve ever had. Normally by this time I’m twitchy but I’m calm & relaxed'. Mrs JJ (school deputy head) I would just like to thank you once more for your excellent services today at Katie's birthday party - to sum up, almost the first thing that Katie said to me after everybody had gone was "can you ask Cheryl back to my party next year?". I would just like to say that I was very pleased and impressed with the manner and the level of patience that you showed with the girls. Mr ND |
