      <title>MadFun Says Creativity Is the Latest Kiddie Party Trend</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">With parents willing to pay the big bucks, imagination is the limit in today’s kids’ parties. Melbourne party planner MadFun says this gives kids a chance to indulge in creative, customised fun.</p><p>Wantirna South, Victoria -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/24/2014 --  Children&apos;s birthday parties have morphed from the simple, home-based occasions into elaborate and prestigious events complete with themes and anything from limos to exclusive, one-day affairs. Today, children&apos;s parties are no longer just party hats and cake but are taking on variously creative forms. Creativity has been the key element in children&apos;s birthday parties then and now. Only with kids&apos; parties nowadays, anything goes and more often than not goes all out, no expense spared parents willing. With most parents indeed willing to shell out, kiddie parties are rapidly moving out of the home to a wide range of fully customised celebrations.<br />
<br />
Most children&apos;s <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="birthday celebrations" href="http://longisland.madscience.org/news/Why-Do-We-Celebrate-Our-Birthday-Every-Year-580.aspx">birthday celebrations</a> today are held at a venue, which largely does the organising, including setup and post-party cleanup, after a bit of collaboration with a parent or other contact person. Themed parties are usually done in such places, with the theme planned around one of the young celebrant&apos;s current interests, whether a favourite movie, fictional character, or activity. Wildly popular themes today include all manner of super heroes and movies like Disney&apos;s Frozen. The theme is taken to quite literal extents from elaborate wall decorations, to the birthday cake, down to the party favours given at the end of the party.<br />
<br />
Kids&apos; birthday parties have also begun shifting away from the traditional format requiring an emcee and a preset entertainment programme. More and more kids are now celebrating their birthdays as exclusive bookings say, at a children&apos;s gym offering rock climbing, skating and soccer. If not, the birthday event is held at a yoga studio or family disco. Some parents book their kids reservations for a few hours playing at a sports stadium, getting pampered at a children&apos;s spa, having high tea at a luxe hotel, or being moved around the city Hollywood-style in a Humvee limousine. Special shindigs that are also now offered include activities where kids can get creative. Such services allow kids to make their own green-screen movie, don a pizzas or cupcakes in complete chef&apos;s attire, and paintings or sculptures.<br />
<br />
Melbourne-based party organiser MadFunTM recognises the dilemma of today&apos;s parents. They have the desire to make their child feel special on their day but lack the time to organise the necessary preparations. &apos;This shift in the way children&apos;s parties are being celebrated is definitely ground-breaking&apos;, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Lilly Deane, party and events consultant at MadFunTM" href="http://www.madfun.com.au/">Lilly Deane, party and events consultant at MadFunTM</a>, said. &apos;Children get to become their beloved characters or engage in their favourite activities on their special days. All this creativity has enabled parents to take their wish of making their children special to greater and unprecedented heights.&apos; <br />

      <title>Madfun All Support for Kids, Family and Charitable Events in Australia</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Several events that aims to make kids happier will be conducted in Australia and a business entity called Madfun is encouraging participation to show its support to these.</p><p>Wantirna South, Victoria -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/30/2014 --  It&apos;s now very rare to find a business entity that genuinely supports charitable institutions, family events and other types of kids&apos; events. Even if some will openly admit supporting such events, this is often tied with an endorsement agreement, one that will gain the business corresponding exposure. This is what makes Madfun different. Instead of being the one promoted through these events, it&apos;s the one encouraging participation without the usual perk of endorsements, something that other profit-oriented businesses are not willing to do.<br />
<br />
There are varied events that Madfun is willing to promote for the coming days. Some of these are being conducted by TLC for KIDS, a charitable institution that helps sick kids in hospitals through their distraction events that include but is not limited to visit from a celebrity and surprise gifts. TLC for KIDS is known for its fundraising events, one of which is the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="WestWaters Fundraising Dinner" href="http://www.tlcforkids.org.au/westwaters">WestWaters Fundraising Dinner</a> that will be held on September 10th. This will be hosted by the CEO and founder of TLC for KIDS, Tim Conolan, where guests will be treated to a special performance by Daryl Braithwaite. The proceeds will be used by the said institution to fund its services to be able to help more kids who are in need of a little bit of happiness amidst their existing health condition. <br />
<br />
If some are geared towards charitable works, others on the other hand are simply organising events for the sake of kids having fun. In Thredbo, the Friday Fun Night that started in June 26th will be concluded soon on September 25th. But before that happens, kids will still be given the chance to experience Kids Flare Run, an activity that gives kids the chance to ride on Easy Does It Chairlift without the aid of parental supervision. Fireworks display follows soon after the kids have all descended the slopes. Other events being held in Thredbo this month include Indoor Skate Night, One Hit Wonder Festival, Smirnoff Snow Dome, Australian Defense Force Day, and September Kids School Holiday Carnival.<br />
<br />
What is the ulterior motive of Madfun for showing support for all of these events? Not one that should be bad for kids and people in general, says <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Lilly Deane, kids party planner at Madfun." href="http://www.madfun.com.au/">Lilly Deane, kids party planner at Madfun.</a> Furthermore stating this, "Do we need a selfish reason to show our support for events that were obviously made for the sake of children being happy? Our own business is all about what these events represent- to make kids smile. We would not have lasted in this industry if Madfun was all for profit and not for the heart of what it should represent. Even though we are not in direct partnership with the institutions holding these, what they represent is the embodiment of our business. Which is why we are naturally inclined to give our support."<br />

But the fun should not stop there. Kiddie parties may come and go, but the joy of its celebration can be reminisced through other forms of activities. Vacation or not, the rest or 2014 still has some wonderful surprises in store for children and their families. Workshops, kiddie rides, play adventure, and several other activities are all set on calendar in different venues around the globe. <br />

This will be held on September 24 from 11:30A to 12:25PM at The Bryan Brown Theatre in Bankstown, NSW Australia. This will be featuring a Drama Workshop for Kids before the start of the actual theatre show. This is also a great excuse to see some wacky characters such as Scarey the Lion, Shiney the Tinman, Shakey the Scarecrow, and Dorothy. For those who have been enthralled by Disney&apos;s animation movie Frozen, kids will have the opportunity to watch a karaoke show in this theme at The Wizard of Oz Funland in 2/11 Hollylea Rd, Leumeah NSW on September 27th.<br />

For <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Lilly Deane, one of the party organizers at MadFun" href="http://www.madfun.com.au">Lilly Deane, one of the party organizers at MadFun</a>, there is no such thing as the right moment for kids to have a chance to be happy. She was quoted saying, "Why wait for them to have their birthday or have a special day on the calendar to arrive when you have the ability to command every day to be a special day for your kids? A visit to a kiddie restaurant, watch a movie together over the weekend, or have an ice cream at the park. You already have the help you need in the form of zoos, fun lands and parks. Use all of these to your advantage- create memories with your children before they turn into adults."<br />
