We had the loveliest stationery craft party for my daughter’s 9th birthday! It was so much fun, and all the girls absolutely loved it. Everything was beautifully organised, creative, and kept them entertained throughout. They had such a wonderful time and were so excited about all the crafts they made. Thank you for making her birthday so special we would definitely recommend!

Oh my goodness! It was a Slime Party EXTREME! My (now) 11 year old daughter is obsessed with SLIME and she wanted all her cousins and friends to join in the fun. We had booked a field for the August Bank Holiday weekend to spend with a large group of friends and Lex was happy to come up to the field (in the middle of nowhere in Hampshire) and run a 90 minute party for 14 children aged 3-13! The worst bit was it was pouring with rain so we had set up under a couple of gazebos! Lex took everything in her stride, the weather was no bother for her, the addition of 3 party guests at a last minute decision, the fact that the kids were in a wooded area with a rope swing, parents and friends chatting under another soggy gazebo.... Nothing fazed her and all the children said it was the BEST Slime party EVER! My daughter was absolutely delighted and declared it her best ever birthday! My ONE regret was that due to the rain and wind, we didn't get very many photos! All the children were so happy with their 3 pots of slime in their cute pots that they had decorated. As the party mum, all I had to do was put up 2 gazebos and 2 tables and Lex and her helper sorted the rest. I could then chat and drink with all the adults and let the children get on with It. It was the most stress-free party I have ever had for my daughter! Thank you so much Lex!

We had Lexi for my daughter’s birthday party and she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The children made and decorated their own lip balms and did lots of lovely crafts, and they were completely engaged the whole time. Lexi was punctual, organised and very professional. She arrived with everything prepared, set everything up beautifully, knew exactly how to manage the activities with the children, and afterwards packed everything away and left everything clean and tidy. The girls had so much fun and were kept happily busy throughout the party. It felt like such a lovely way for them to spend their time because they weren’t just being entertained they were creating things, learning and enjoying themselves together. The best feedback actually came afterwards: some of my daughter’s school friends told her it was one of the most fun birthday parties they had ever been to! I would definitely recommend Lexi. She made the whole experience so easy for us as parents and so memorable and enjoyable for the children. Thank you so much! ❤️

We had such a lovely time at our daughter’s 8th birthday slime party. All the children had an absolute blast and loved making all the different types of slime. Lexy had so many different options for them to choose from, and everything was so well organised from start to finish, even providing her own table cloth and aprons for the kids. We had really positive feedback from all the parents afterwards, with everyone saying how much their children had enjoyed themselves. Most importantly, we had one very happy birthday girl 🥰 A massive well done to Lexy for keeping 11 eight year old children entertained and under control for the whole party. Would definitely recommend Lexy for a fun, stress free party.

Lexy was absolutely incredible and somehow managed to keep a group of very excited little girls completely captivated from start to finish! It was so much more than just making slime. The girls actually learnt what goes into it and made everything themselves, choosing their own colours, glitters, charms and even scents. They decorated their slime pots and party bags, made fluffy slime and even learnt how to blow huge bubbles with it — they were completely in their element! Every part was so hands on and beautifully thought out with so many little details and choices that made it feel really special to each child. And from a parent’s point of view, it was an absolute dream — Lexy arrived with everything she needed, set it all up and tidied everything away afterwards. We genuinely didn’t have to think about a thing. Seeing how happy and engrossed they all were for the entire party said it all. Lexy is brilliant at what she does and gave our daughter the dreamiest 4th birthday. We’ll 100% be booking another one of her parties in the future!

I booked a slime party for my daughter’s 9th birthday and Lexy was simply amazing from start to finish! Lexy had great communication from booking right through to the event itself and even afterwards. She was super engaging throughout the session and my daughter and her friends absolutely loved the party and how good it was! The girls loved the personalisation aspect of making the slimes and making each one unique to themselves! Having someone else run the party aswell takes so much stress off the parent and just made everything so much more enjoyable! Lexy also accommodated travelling a little further than she normally would to my address which I’m very grateful for! I highly recommended Lexy and Made by Me Craft Parties if you want something fun and unique for your little ones! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 🥰🩷

We booked Lexy for a slime making party for my son, as we wanted something a little bit different from the usual disco/ bouncy castle style parties and we are so glad we did. 👌 The children were engaged from start to finish. They decorated their little party bags and pots then got down to business creating 3 pots of slime. Lexy expertly guided the children in successful slime making at their pace, choosing their colours and charms and textures. The booking process was nice and easy and I love how Lexy used my party theme to theme her slime colours, charm selections, stickers, scents and even down to her outfit colours. It couldn't have gone any smoother and the children absolutely loved making and exploring their creations. Thankyou, highly recommended.

Lexy is amazing at what she does and provides a wonderful service. She recently provided a slime party for my 9 year daughter which was stress free from start to finish. Lexy is wonderful with the children and I have no hesitation in recommending her. This is the second time I have used her services.

We had a brilliant ‘get stuffed’ cabybara making 9th birthday party with Lexy on Saturday. She was friendly and organised and the children all had a brilliant time. We’ve used Lexy for several parties and they continue to be the easiest and least stressful option! Thank you Lexy 🙂
