Which birthday party package suits your party

The three packages step up in the number of children and the time Isadora paints. The Mini Party suits up to 10 children and 1 hour. The Classic Party suits up to 15 children and 1.5 hours, with more time for detailed designs and sparkle. The Deluxe Party suits up to 20 children and 2 hours, with a variety of colourful designs.

How the design you choose shapes the plan

The design you choose shapes how many children can be painted. Quick cheek art suits a short window with many children. Fuller jewelled, one-stroke designs suit a smaller group or a longer session.

Tell Isadora your guest count and she will help you plan the right format and duration. The birthday party page shows the designs children ask for.

How event rates work

For events and functions, the rate is set by the length of the booking, from 1 hour to 4 hours. For larger events, custom packages are available. Send an enquiry with the date, the location and roughly how many guests.

Each kind of event has its own page: festival and market face painting, school fair and community face painting, corporate event face painting and character and theme face painting.
