Mallory, our Bristol Manager loves hosting parties…she loves it so much that she ends up doing a lot of the parties…even the boys parties and she has been delighted over the past few months at the amount of girls having Superhero or Jedi Parties…Gone are the years of girls having a Princess party and boys having an action party! We caught up with Mall on a recent experience she had:
“I recently hosted a party in Westbury on Trym, Bristol, and I couldn’t tell you how refreshing it was being Supergirl for a girl’s party. Pheobe, who had recently turned 7 was of course the ultimate Supergirl herself, but as her guests kept arriving we eventually found ourselves about 20 little Supergirls, along with quite a few other Superheroes in tow…
I have a feeling that all the Dad’s at this party felt a little outnumbered and were surprised at the power and grit these little Superheroes really had! I mean, they were showing some serious sass! And so they should!
Quite often, as a company, we send along female Superheroes, such as Wonderwoman, Catwoman and Supergirl to boys parties. Mainly because in past experience we’ve found it works well. The little girls love her because the entertainer is a girl and the little boys love her because she is a Superhero – its a win win situation, with noone feeling left out.
This party reminded me that actually, Superhero parties aren’t just for boys and that “in a world full of Princesses, dare to be Batman” is the way forward if we want to make sure our children believe they are as strong and equal as each other growing up in this world.”
