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. More than seventy custom flavored cupcakes include Lemon Dream Supreme, Hunka Chunka Banana Love, Cookies & Cream, German Sweet Chocolate, Ginger Bread, Carrot Cake, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Birthday Surprise, Chocolate Malts, Kiddie Cake, Tiramisu, Wedding Cake and more.

Savannah children’s birthday party entertainer: Mr Magic

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

savannahchildrensbirthdaypartiesMy 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.

For more info on birthday parties with The Mr. Magic Show, click here. Contact Mr. Magic, aka George C. Jones, 912-966-0390, email gjones5935@aol.com

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.

Scribble Art Studio hosts fun, original Savannah children’s birthday party

Monday, November 15th, 2010

carrie-christian-bd-party-2carrie-christian-bd-party-1Today we celebrated my son’s 4th birthday with an art party at artist Carrie Christian’s Scribble Art Studio in Savannah.

That’s right. An art party with a roomful of messy mostly preschoolers. Sounds daunting doesn’t it? But art teacher Carrie Christian managed to pull off a perfect, unique, creative event. Carrie had the painting project set up when guests arrived. She designed the project and party decor around my son’s selected theme: wild animals. Carrie could not have been more patient and easy-going with our wee guests, who left eager to return for Carrie’s Saturday preschooler art classes. She was also a champ at dealing with my planning questions and often nebulous guest count.

Other party perks included adorable hand-crafted nametags; a warm and friendly studio atmosphere that was awash in natural light and bedecked with whimsical kids’ art; a giant mural Carrie set up on the floor to keep the guests busy and entertained in between art projects and cake set-up; lots of back-up supplies for those of us moms who can never remember to bring enough trash bags etc.

carrie-christian-bd-party-3carrie-christian-bd-party-4Each guest left with his or her own canvas painting and craft. Carrie was quick about clearing off the table and making room for cake time, so there was no meltdown-provoking downtime.  After a speedy cake clean-up, kids were hard at work on project No. 2, making animals out of modeling clay to pair with individual barns, silos and wishing wells Carrie made beforehand.

Art birthday parties at Carrie Christian’s Scribble Art Studio are truly an original and fun way to celebrate your child’s next birthday. Kids can pick from a list of themes or create their own. Parties run 2 hrs. $150 for up to 10 guests, $5 per additional guest

Carrie’s studio is at 212 E. 37th St., directly behind the new sara jane children’s boutique in hip Sisters Court the corner of 37th and Abercorn Streets. Phone: 912-323-0123. Click here for more info or email: carrieachristian@hotmail.com.

Check out some photos of the party posted here by Ann Van Brimmer.

Thank you, Carrie, for such a special party.

Puppet People children’s summer shows, discounts on birthday party package and shows

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

puppet-people-logo-2Mark you calendars. Angela Beasely’s Puppet People will perform a children’s puppet show at the Savannah Visitor’s Center on June 26 & July 10.

The show is called “Monkey Bubbles Takes A Train Ride.” There will be two performances on each day – 10 AM & 11 AM. Cost is $6 per person. Mention SouthernMamas to receive a dollar off the admission! First hour of parking is free!

This is a unique opportunity for children as the beloved Puppet People rarely have performances that are open to the public, so this is a great chance to see their No. 1 Family Show!

Also this summer, Puppet People is offering a Special on their Basic Children’s Birthday Party Package. For this summer only, the price is $325 instead of $350. All you have to do is mention you saw this post on Southern Mamas! This is the “Worry-Free” children’s birthday party package because it includes a brief interactive puppet tour, a puppet show, a puppet making craft (which also serves as party favors), a cake table, tablecloths, paper plates, napkins & plastic ware – basically everything except food and invitations! So, all Mom has to worry about is bringing the cake.

Another SouthernMamas deal: mention Southern Mamas, and Puppet People will take $3 dollars off their “Backstage Pass” Tour, which normally costs $15 per person. This private tour includes a full hour one-on-one with Angela Beasley herself!

Angela has been making puppets for over 40 years, and many of her past creations are on display in the Puppet People studios. Puppet People is  also one of only about three companies nationwide that has life-size puppets. Angela made the “family” of about 30 life-size puppets (and all her other puppets) with her own hands. Each puppet has his or her own hilarious personality, which Angela loves to show-off during the tour!

puppet-people-logoPutting together a fun-filled fest for a troupe of toddlers with high expectations can feel like a tall order for any mom.

Let the team at Angela Beasley’s Puppet People take care of the entertainment.

The 1,000-square foot Party Place is complete with a sound system so you can plug in your iPod or bring your own CDs. The party can be extended the backyard, canopied with pecan trees and Spanish moss. You just select a party theme and puppet show from Puppet People’s family-friendly parties section.

An on-site party includes a party host to tend to every need; an interactive studio; music, games and bouncing balls; puppet-making – each guest leaves with their own puppet; tableware.

Anyone who’s seen Puppet People at Savannah events knows these playful puppets deliver! Not surprisingly, Puppet People was named the 2009 Family Choice Award for Best Children’s Birthday Party by Coastal Family Magazine.
