Stressfree isn’t the adjective typically used to describe childrens’s birthday parties. But that is exactly how I would describe my children’s combo birthday party this past weekend at Angela Beasley’s Puppet People “The Puppet Place” in Thunderbolt.

When it comes to children’s birthday parties, Puppet People do it all for you: from providing a fun atmosphere and a lively, animated puppet show as well as taking care of those pesky details like paper plates, utensils, even the matches to light the birthday candles.

The party hosts (who take care of keeping the kids entertained at all times) are not only energetic and upbeat, but also informative about puppets and puppetry as an art form. Our two-hour event included a puppet demo, a puppet show, a puppet-making craft – all interspersed with, music, fun games (limbo!) and bouncing balls to keep the kids stimulated. All I had to do was show up with cupcakes, popcorn & party favors.

The Puppet Place is a 1,000 square ft. indoor event space bedecked with puppet decorations and confetti-carpeting. It’s the ideal spot for a party when you don’t want to have to worry about the weather. And during good weather, you can extend your party to a backyard canopied with pecan trees and Spanish moss. Best of all, these creative birthday parties at Puppet People’s “The Puppet Place” are private. There aren’t other children’s parties happening there at the same time, as at some venues. Yours is the only party!

The interest in bringing a Gigi’s Cupcakes franchise to Savannah began when owner, Bethany Shantz of Savannah, first tasted these marvelous cupcakes at the original Nashville store. They were the most delicious treats she had ever tasted and she became quite a regular visitor while living in Nashville. Frequenting the store more and more, she started to dream about how fun it would be to be on the other side of the counter as an owner. What a fun, happy, and most delicious job.

Bethany’s family has been living in Savannah for generations and she was thrilled to be able to return to Savannah and bring Gigi’s Cupcakes with her.

Each handmade cupcake is made with the finest and freshest ingredients like Saigon Cinnamon, Madagascar Vanilla, farm fresh creamy butter, hand selected fruits and nuts, along with the smoothest cream cheese.

My daughter spent most of her 2nd birthday party sitting on Santa’s lap.

She was in awe of the fact that Santa was in HER living room. Santa, aka Savannah children’s birthday entertainer Mr. Magic, is an ideal party theme for a child’s December birthday – especially for a toddler’s party on a cold and rainy Sunday. Mr. Magic offers a variety of birthday themes in addition to Santa and other characters. Each of his children’s birthday party shows is customized based on the age of the birthday child. His most popular theme is magic.

At Mr. Magic Show bd parties, special attention is given to the birthday child. Mr. Magic uses their name as the magic word and they participate in the show. They receive a Birthday card from Mr. Magic and a certificate suitable for framing to show that they participated in the show. Things appear and disappear right before their eyes, including a live white dove named Happy. And each child present will receive coloring picture of Mr. Magic to color and a free BALLOON ANIMAL of their choice, made right in front of them. Perfect for parties of 5 to 30.

We paired the Santa theme with a children’s music session with Savannah music teachers Amy Drew and Anthony Teixeira. The musicians performed a range of children’s and holiday sing-alongs, brought tons of instruments for the kids to play as well as cute animal masks and more. They kept the children entertained and engaged. Both offer private lessons in musical instruments and Ms. Amy has a new session of parent-and-me early childhood sessions starting in January at Ms. Amy’s School of Music in Savannah , a private studio just two blocks from Daffin Park in Savannah. Contact Ms. Amy’s School of Music in Savannah  via email at msamyschoolofmusic@gmail.com with any questions or if you would like a registration form.
