top	There are not enough words to describe what a success Katherine's Beach Party was last night. I wish you could have seen 5 little girls hunting for seashells. They loved each of the 5 games I chose - especially the rubber sharks. I also loved the beach music tape. The cake was adorable. This was the easiest party I have ever hosted. Usually I am running 50 different directions around town and trying to think of games. Please use me as a reference. As my husband said, "You're going to want to do this at all major holidays!" Everyone was impressed. -Kimberly Hi Lou Anne: I just placed an order for the beach party. I don't know if you remember me or not but I ordered the same party for my daughter's 1st birthday party! IT was the best party kit ever. Anyway she is 6 now, and we thought it would be fun to do the same party since she's old enough to actually play the games this time! The best part was seeing the picture of your cake which was slightly different than the one we made following the same instructions! Too funny! Anyway, I saw you still had my testimonial! We just moved from TX to MA in June. Hope all is well with you and I look forward to receiving the kit and am looking forward to seeing the changes you have made! Kimberly Burke P.S. I kept one of everything from that 1st birthday party for Katherine - she loves to go through that box. -Kimberly Hi Lou Anne, We had a great party! Since the weather wasn't nice enough to have it at the pool, they (the club) gave us a big room. The kids had a blast just running around. We "fed the shark" and went looking for fishes all over the room.  I had a inflatable pool full of balloons and the partysharks and they loved it. I even had to get the sharks out because they were smashing them. Before they started leaving we put the sharks back again in the pool and they fished them. It was awesome! Anyway, thanks so much for your ideas! -Carolina
	Thanks for being so prompt. We are already printing and cutting the fish out. They are darling and sooooo colorful. We will be telling others for sure!! Thanks again -Nancy
top	...our practical giggles party this Sunday afternoon... was a great success. I overheard, from one of the guests: "This was a REALLY COOL party." We had a mix of ages from about 6 to 9, mostly girls but a few boys. The girls were just young enough to really get into the whoopee cushions and other disgusting noises (a little older, I think they get too self-conscious.) The boys...well, they needed no encouragement. This was a good party for this group! The dirt cake was a huge success. Kids were requesting "worms" and "no worms" portions. I had lots of worm requests. Here's an additional thing that you might add to future instructions. I took a large bottle of Sprite soda and colored it with a few drops of food color. Looked like mouthwash...blue stuff coming out of the regular soda bottle really got 'em. - Mickey ...to the Last Detail Special Events Planning Management I was really pleased with SimpliFun's Practical Giggles party! It was soooo simple to use and yet it was creative and hit the spot for the wide age range of children I was entertaining. - Sandi My daughter had so much fun at her eleventh birthday party, Practical Giggles. It made a great slumber party, with plenty to keep them busy. I liked how well organized the kit was. It only took us 30 minutes to get ready. - Diana
top	The party was GREAT!!! I can't believe how easy it was and saved me TONS of time getting it together!!! Thanks.. Cindy Thank you for having your web page on the Internet. I was getting desperate trying to find ideas for my kids' parties. While surfing one day, I did a search for birthday party ideas. The rest is history. I really was dreading each party--having 12 kids in my house for three hours, trying to keep them occupied.  But the activities kept those 9-year olds busy and they did have a good time! I enjoyed my son's Hypersonic Speedway Party so much that I'm actually looking forward to my daughter's Artist party. Good luck and continued success with your PartiKits! Anna The party turned out great and the kids loved the "Mount the tire on the car game". They wanted to play it over and over again. I appreciate all that you and your company did to make sure we received the correct game on time. -Denise The party was great. The kids didn't always play the games as planned, but they all had a lot of fun. Also, we supplemented your partypak. I contacted a local auto parts store and they gave me a bunch of racing promotional stuff - for tires, oil, etc. We hung it all with the racing banner you sent. In addition, we made two race cars out of large under-bed box tops (from the container store). The kids used these instead of a button down shirt and cap in the relay race. They then proceeded to race around the back yard with them for the remainder of the party. The party favors were a big hit - especially the mini-trophies. I heard about several envious older siblings after the fact. All in all, it was quite a success. Thanks for your help. - Lauren Got the packet right when you said I should. The party was great. The little guys had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. I realized 4 hours before the party that I had 11 kids, not 10 though. I talked my son into going without a goodie bag. Do you sell those individually? If so, I would like to get him one--at least the trophy. He has a sport room and he got all excited to put up his trophy. -Melanie I received my Speedway Theme package and I totally so happy with my order!!! You are so creative! Your ideas are amazing!!! I am so happy I found out about your company!!! Thank you so much for everything and also with how prompt my order arrived!!! Because of you my son will have such a great party he will never forget!!! Thank you!! -Cindy
top	Thank you so much for the all the great ideas. I was able to download everything I needed for a great birthday party for my 6 year old son. I'll be visiting your site again next year.  The T-shirt iron-on was especially a hit with everyone. Thanks again for your help. This party was put together in 4 days !!!!! Couldn't have done it without you. I've been telling all my friend about your site. Thanks again ! -Donna WE LOVED THE PRINTIT! PARTIKIT! ! ! ! My son and his friends had such a great time at his sixth birthday party. They especially like the car game where you put the tire in the right place. And yes, it was easy to print from the computer. Thank you very much for choosing my name in your drawing. The kit came a week and a half before his party, so it came just in time. THANKS AGAIN! ! ! Tammy, OK
top	Thank you for making me a success at my 8 year-olds party. The party was so successful and easy. My daughter and her friends had such a great time. I'm going to do both my girls parties this way next year. All I have to do is worry about the cake. - Sharon
top	I was so stuck for ideas for games. Six, six year olds coming over in less than 24 hours, and I didn't have a clue how to amuse them. I found your site in a matter of seconds, and my troubles were over. The games and ideas on how to manage the party were great! What a good site!!   Thanks, - Karen
top	I've wanted to get back to you Lou Anne regarding our party. It was wonderful. 13 artists in one space. Thank you for the great products, I'm marketing for you daily. -Marcia Thank you so much for the Invitational Artists Faire Party Kit. Just wanted to let you know that the party was a huge success. The kids could not get over how many activities there were. As a matter of fact, we did not even have time to play all the games. It was great. I will certainly recommend your party activities to other friends. -Marcia S. Our party was  great! They loved the poster thing about putting the flower in the vase. The hand print activity was good too! I'm glad I discovered the party stuff. -Susan Our party was wonderful! I have recommended SimpliFun to all my friends. It was a carefree and worry free way to plan and have a party. It was also something different. - Samantha Sorry it has taken me so long to write. Been having some computer problems. I just wanted to let you know that the Artist Birthday party for my daughter was a great hit. The kids had a really good time and it was so easy. I even bought a frosted white cake to eliminate the baking mess:) Thank you for all of your help getting it all done on time. I wanted this birthday to be a little extra because my daughter's Dad died on January 12 of this year and I knew she would be missing him extra on that day. They were very close. Anyway, thank you again so much. I have already recommended your site to several people. It was a super party. Have a great summer. - Jan Hi!! My name is Lani and I ordered the Artists Faire Party off of the "print it" files.  It helped me out tremendously!!  The party went great and I appreciated having the help. I did want to just let you know that the template for the cake (the painters pallet), when printed straight off of the files, comes out much too large to be placed on a 9x13 cake.  I reduced the size to 75% and it fit beautifully.  The cake turned out absolutely great!!!  My mom loved it and I looked like a real pro!!!  I also couldn't find the chiclet gum anywhere and am wondering if they make it anymore.  I used mini m&ms instead, because everything else was too large.  Anyway, I just thought Simplifun would like this little tidbit of info.  I also wanted to let you know that I added a game to my daughter's party that was a complete hit!!  It's nothing new, but it went along great with the theme. We played pictionary.  We had two teams and I had come up with some different things to draw and then the two artists drew at the same time to see which team could guess first.  It was a lot of fun and went right along with the theme. Well, thank you again for the website...I was happy to find it and will recommend it to my friends.  Have a great day!!  If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me at . Thanks... Sincerely, Lani
top	I am emailing you to tell you that we all had a blast!!! I didn't do as beautiful a job on the cake as you did but the kids loved it anyway! I especially loved the booklet you provide with the party process all mapped out (projects, games, etc...). I also liked the shopping list and guest list sheets. I was able to have everything I needed in one document. It was such a beautiful day that we did some of the games outside and the boys really got into the Dinosaurs and Dino Bones game. Other kids from the neighborhood even joined in because we were having so much fun. I told anyone who would listen about your website so I am sure you will get some more orders from this area of Mass. You really know what working moms need!!! Thanks again! -Theresa Thanks for a great party. We all had a great time (kids and parents). The masks were a big hit as was the dino music tape. We played most of the games with minor modifications because the kids were too young, and added a dinosaur hunt after they colored their masks. All in all, it was a great time. -Kate The party went over very well, The feed rex game and the egg game was a hit. I ended up making my own dino cake using your little animals as decorations. Could'nt find anyplace to purchase dry ice. Over all the party was a success. The kids enjoyed coloring on the masks, then running around pretending they were dinosaurs. -Paul The dino party was great! Everyone was quite impressed and I had fun. Though it was a little stressful, being my first 4 year-old party. One mom, who is a Girl Scout leader even took a copy of the games so that she could do some with her troup. The kids really loved the masks, but I think one of my favorite was the handful of artists poster. I would definitely think about adding something similar to all themes, as what kid doesn't love to smear their hand with paint and leave hand prints? -Darcy The party was a great success especially the volcano cake. Even the other mothers were impressed! The party favors with dino eggs were also a big hit. I think the children were too young to play the games as you described. We ended up improvising, hunting the eggs in the yard etc. All in all, the party lasted 3 hours, no one wanted to go home! Thanks for a great time and for the extras, my girls love the inflatable dinos. - Mary THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I just wanted to thank you so much for your excellent customer service. You really bailed me out on my delinquent party planning and went above and beyond by sending me the need list ahead of time so that I could get started on my planning. You have now been added to my list of favorites and I will not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends! Thank you again for such excellent service. - Lori Hi Lou Ann... I got everything in time. Thank you very much. The party was great and all the kids had a lot of fun. I am also SOOOOO glad you included the extra tablecloths. I was out of town thur and friday and left my husband with a last minute list of things I needed. We had a few kids respond late and had to set up another table...and he forgot to get the extra table cloth so it saved him a trip the morning of the party. Again, thank you very much. You provide a great service! - Kathleen The Dino party was great and worked wonderfully since we had children ranging from age 4-7 at our son's party. We could also modify the games to fit each level of ability. Thank you for all your help in making our son's 7th birthday one he'll remember! Gilles & Carla Thanks a bunch, the party was a hit!!! My 4 year old nearly lost his mind with all the dinosaur stuff. It was great. Tracey LaTulippe
top	The digital Dino Birthday Party was a great success. All the kids loved the dinos!!! They really enjoyed the game of Feed Rex. They played it more than once and if there had been more time, they would have played it even more. Thank you so very much and I will be ordering from you in a few months for my other son's birthday party. Haven't decided yet what we will choose for his party but with the success of his brother's party, I know it will be great coming from you. Take care and thank you again. Sincerely, -Ginger I received the letter with the password in less than 10 minutes after my order. I am glad it worked because I printed out the material and used it last night for my son's birthday. I was trying to come up with some last minute ideas for his dinosaur party. The games in the dino party packet that were sent worked great. I will definitely use SimpliFun in the future. -Tim
top	Dear Lou Anne, I just wanted to thank you for all your help in making Tyler's birthday such a great success! The scrambled eggs game was hysterical!  All the kids had an awesome time and many of the parents asked where I got such a cool idea! Thanks again, -Sandy Last night we had my daughter's 11th birthday party -- we did the "Glow in the Dark" party. We have never had such a great time! All the game ideas, all the stuff that came with the party kit, everything ... it was superb! The games were a hit -- for once we had some age appropriate games that included both inside and outside play. And when I called to order some extra stuff we got it right away. I can't say thanks enough for offering such a great party kit. We will definitely use your services again. I usually don't write these kinds of things, however, I really wanted y'all to know how great a time we had and how well your products served us. Thanks again! - Katie The party was a big hit with my daughter, Molly and her friends. They were all about 11 years old and really enjoyed checking out how different things glowed under black lights. I picked up a couple more of black lights for only $17 at Walgreen's and that helped the 'glow science'. The party was a sleepover, so I guess you could say it lasted all night. They warmed up with the name guessing game. The egg smashing game was great, too. Though we got a couple of tough eggs to smash. We played most of the non-glow games early because it stays light until 9:00pm. I think this would be fun for younger boys and girls, too. I think I had as much fun as the girls did. -Janet Lou Anne - THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me at the last minute!! We got the package Friday and my daughter Steph was so excited!! The party was a lot of fun - your game ideas were great! I am certainly going to give your web page address to my neighbors!! Thanks again for all your help. -Jean I order Glow in the Dark last year for my daughter & it was fabulous. Now I am looking for both my son & daughter, but she can't decide if she's going to have a party. Your products are wonderful! -Dijana
top	I printed a sample of the invitation out today, and it is awesome! My son absolutely loves it. Thanks so much for all of your help! -Valerie I printed all of the Deep Space Party information that was sent, and it looks great! I usually dread throwing birthday parties, but you all have made it look fun and easy! I am actually excited! Thanks for all your assistance. -Peg I want to thank SimpliFun for a great party! Not only were the graphics, party supplies, favors and ideas wonderful, you and your staff were VERY supportive and went out of your way to be helpful. I appreciate all your efforts tremendously. It was easy to develop and even expand on the already creative and fun ways to entertain the kids that came with the PrintIt Kit. The Space Shuttle cake instructions were easy and fun...it turned out great! It was exciting to see how much fun the kids were having...the adults too. Thanks so much! Blessings to you all, -Dawn The party was originally going to be for eight boys, but at the last minute the guest list rose to 11! It was a relief for me to be able to simply print up additional invitations and the games were easily adaptable for a larger group. The party was a "blast"!!! As a working mom I really appreciated the convenience of SimpliFun Studios. Thanks! -Kelly I printed my Deep Space Kit and it looks great. I love the shopping list and the games do not need a lot of extra things. Most of it is stuff I already have around the house. Everything is so easy to understand. It prevents me to have to run to a party supply place and look for a bunch of different things. -Kelly
top	My 10 year old daughter and I used the " The Missing Ring Mystery Party". We loved it. I always throw a theme party for my children's birthdays and finding a mystery party that was planned and already put together was perfect. There was very little to do when it came to wall decorations, simply because portraits were provided. Decorating the dining room and living room was fairly easy. The girls loved the fact that I dressed up and brought out my china, a crocheted table cloth, flowers and silver candle sticks to decorate the table. It made them feel very special and refined. The fun was following the script, having the girls discuss their theories, and the surprise of a ring showing up where they least expected it. My daughter had a lot of fun and so did her six dramatic friends. I especially liked the quick and friendly response when I ordered over the phone. I will be talking to a Mother's of Preschooler's group of women in October about children's birthday parties. Simplifun is definitely on my list of party favorites! -Lynette Thanks Lou Anne. The party was a success! We had 6 - 11 and 12 year olds, and they loved every minute of it. They didn't want to stop for cake, or opening gifts! Since we had 6 girls, we used Flossie as an extra. Noone had guessed the culprit, until it was revealed. Thanks again. Great Party! - Diane The party went really well. They seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Thank you for the opportunity to give a print-it party. I enjoyed giving one and may do this again sometime. -Laura I just downloaded the most current version of Adobe and got it to work. What a great idea and a great kit!!! My daughter's party is this Friday, so I don't have much time, but we're going to make the most of it!!! I started printing out stuff yesterday, and it looks fabulous! Thanks for offering such a great service, and I will be sure to tell my friends about you! -Jill Just thought I'd drop a line and say that the Missing Ring party was a success!! The girls loved it and it was quite appropriate for the occasion! Fantastic idea! I have passed your name around to the other mothers in case they are ever in need of party ideas. I love giving feedback to services that I feel are outstanding in their field. This, however, really took the cake (pardon the pun!) I look forward to having other parties in the near future from SimpliFun. Thanks again! -Jill Thank you for the great party, The Case of The Missing Ring. The five girls who attended the sleep over really enjoyed the mystery, and resumed the activity this morning without any prompting on my part. My birthday daughter's teenage sister volunteered to act as Dame Sarah and even got up earlier than usual to resume her role. The directions and script were well organized, with all steps very manageable within the limited time available to this busy family. The only minor glitch was that we weren't entirely successful at ironing the transfers onto t-shirts. Despite a move of your facilities, the party goody bags arrived two days before the party, as promised, leaving ample time to assemble them. I have added this site to my favorites, and will definitely order another party in the future. Hi, I'm Ellie Presland, Marian is my mum and she ordered the mystery game for me.  I am 10 years old  and live in the UK and I played the game with my four friends (Jo Barnes, Stephanie Ramplin, Hannah Davey and Libbi Cooper) last weekend. We all enjoyed the game thoroughly. It was really fun speaking all the different parts, and at the same time trying to put on American accents. Everyone stayed over at my house for the night and we had a really yummy midnight feast. We didn't get to sleep till 3 in the morning!  I liked the fact you had to say things at breakfast as well, it made the party seem twice as long.   When we got back to school, I asked everyone what they thought of it. They all gave it 10\10!  In fact, my best friend (Stephanie) asked for the website where I got the game so she could get one herself. So you might find a "Ramplin" surname asking to buy a game pretty shortly! Thanks for making the game. It was the best sleepover ever! Luv, Ellie XXX Lou Anne, I just wanted to let you know we had our Mystery Ring party on Saturday and it was a success!  The kids liked it a lot and they really seemed to like being "in character".  The only thing I would recommend to someone else is maybe not to do it until the kids are 9 or 10 since there were a few parts that a few of the kids didn't quite get (they were 7 to 8).  They liked the decorations and the t-shirts and the scripts and it was a hit.    Thank you so much for your help as well.  I'm sure we'll be visiting your web site again for future parties. -Laura We had a great party yesterday! We had 8 10-year old girls who had the Mystery of the Missing Ring, and they really got into it. Everyone came dressed in character with their props, and once we started the play, they came up with the most amazing deductive thinking I've ever seen! It was great. We will look at your other parties for next year! And I've told everyone I can about your company! -Diana, a very satisfied customer! The girls enjoyed the party as it was different and novel to them. We had to improvise a bit as we had varying # of girls as 2 had to leave early, but we made it work. T-shirt transfers were very fun.
top	Hi, Last night we celebrated my daughter's ninth birthday. We used the "Ghost of Marnie" party and it was a blast. The guests were extremely excited about the party as soon as they received their invitations; it was the "talk" of the third grade. The girls arrived with great anticipation, got into character immediately and proceeded to have a wonderful evening. Several of them went home asking their mothers to be "Aunt Mattie" and to have a ghost party. Thank you for the creative ideas........now I will start looking for a party for my soon to be seven year old's party. -Georgia The Ghost of Marnie Andersen skit was for my daughter’s 12th birthday party.  The party was a great success. The kids really got into their characters. I provided the costumes and jewelry. We were unable to have the skit as a sleepover, so we watched the Haunted Mansion movie by Disney as "sleeping" instead. The croquette game became an attraction for the neighborhood - the kids playing in their formal dresses with high heel shoes. -Lori
Indian Princess top	The party ideas are great. They were just what I was looking for, and the kids will certainly enjoy them on Saturday! I must say the quality of your material is excellent. Well done. Thanks, -Kylie
top	I recommend SimpliFun to everyone, and get raves from all the other moms (I've done two of your parties). I am sure I will use you again next year!
top	We recently did this (Bar Starr Ranch) party for my daughter turning 10. I also did the mystery Case of the Missing Ring party last year....and it was a blast. We had boys and girls at this Bar Starr Ranch party...and it was a hit!! The kids really got into it, using southern accents and all! We had stuffed my husband's clothes for the "body" they discover in the script, but at the end we added a subtle twist. My husband quickly went and changed into the "body's clothes" so when the kids all came downstairs for the final scene, he was the body! Of course we got shreeks and screams, boys included....and it will be a party to be remembered. My daughter said everyone at school was talking about it on Monday! A definite fun evening. Thanx again...we will continue to check your site for new parties each year!!!! -Stacey
top	I am a teacher and am used to modifying scripts. I invited a few more girls than the script called for, so I had to rewrite some of the script. You may want to offer paties for 15-20 guests. The girls had a great time, it was certainly different than any other party they have attended. We did it at a local state park, so this added "out-doors" ambiance to the whole party. This has to be the best party we have hosted. Girls this age can be hard to please, but everyone had a great time. Our Pirates and Rescurers were top notch. They put alot of effort into their "costumes" and roles.I played the Captain, and put together an outfit "Captain Stubbing" of the Love Boat would envy. Thanks again!!! -Anne V. North Vancouver BC Canada My daughter was thrilled with the Marooned Scavenger Hunt party. Her friends really enjoyed themselves and got into the party. One minor problem was the dialogue during the meal preparation. The girls just were not able to do both at the same time. Other than that, the party was great. Thank you for such a fun party! -Tracy
top	As I mentioned before we did one of your parties last year with great success, and the girls all still talk about it. -Nancy It was a great, family oriented party. Everyone loved it. The girls didn't want it to end!! Thank you.
