Faeries Unite!

It isn't often that we get the whole gang together...but last Sunday's Happily Ever Laughter BBQ ended in more giggles than any of us bargined for.  We spent the late afternoon (after a full day of performing!) flying around our treehouse headquarters and took a picture of us...just for you!

Portola Valley Schools Foundation Holds Gala

Many moons ago we met a fabulous mommy who invited us over to her home for Halloween night. One of our performers, Miss Faerie Nixie, was invited to hand out candy to the neighborhood and add her sparkle to the magical night.  A few months later, we crossed paths again when she invited me to perform at her son's birthday celebration as our Silly Circus Girl! We were very honored to visit her family twice...and then she asked us if we only perform for children's events.  She had a celebration in mind that would require us to put our thinking caps on!

She invited us to a very special Gala held at the Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto on May 16th, 2009.  Hundreds of mommies, daddies, and friends gathered together to raise money for Portola Valley Schools with live auctions and a beautiful dinner.  Happily Ever Laughter was invited to bring their theme to life...The Emerald City! 

After several hours, and many rhinestones later, I finished a Good Witch gown and Miss Faerie Maple finished her Ruby Red Slippers.  We entered the Gala as Glinda and Dorothy and entertained the guests for 3 hours! Dorothy (Miss Maple) was quite sad to auction off 'Toto', a beautiful Labradoodle that she had cared for the entire evening.  *smile*

It was such a lovely way to spend an evening after a big day of balloon twisting and face painting.  We were able to be completley royal, play completely different characters from our Children's Parties, and find out that...yes! we absolutely make even the grown-ups smile!

Stay tuned for photos!

Happily Ever Laughter Parties...I would like you to meet the internet...

After 4 years of delighting thousands of children at celebrations of all kinds, Happily Ever Laughter has decided to give a behind the scenes peek of what is on our mind when we aren't twisting balloons or spreading glitter. *smile*

Let me introduce myself.  Hello! (Well, more like 'Heeellloo' with a Faerie voice) My name is Fae Diddle Diddle and I am the founding Faerie of Happily Ever Laughter Parties.  The inspiration for starting Happily Ever Laughter came when I discovered that all the characters provided at Children's Parties were the same characters on the lunch boxes, TV, and movie screens.  I want to remind children that they don't all have to be the same princess, the same Snow White or Cinderella, but their own unique view on what a princess or any imaginary character could be.  

I understand that each child is different, and that is why our characters are different.  Our clowns don't have red noses or scary wigs, and our princesses don't look like Sleeping Beauty. They are the characters from my own imagination.
