Just Pretend Kids Launches Kickstarter For The Perfect Party

Rob Leave a Comment

Just Pretend Kids, an upscale brand of children’s costumes and pretend play accessories, is excited to announce the launch of a crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter. The Just Pretend Perfect Party aims to help parents by taking all the guesswork out of creating a perfectly themed kids party for any occasion.
image

The Just Pretend Perfect Party product line is a collection of more than a dozen all-in-one party boxes including everything needed to throw an imaginatively themed party for eight guests. No more shopping at big box stores and running across town to find everything on a shopping list. Everything needed to throw a perfectly themed kids party is shipped directly to the consumer in one convenient box — invitations, decorations, plates, cups and cutlery… it’s all there.

Best of all, each collection is designed to match perfectly with one of Just Pretend Kids pretend play costumes, dresses and fairy tutu sets, which can be purchased at a discount with the Perfect Party to make a perfect gift for the guest of honor! Children’s imaginations will run free when they dress up as a princess with the Fairytale Princess Sweet Treats or the Sweetheart Princess collections. Kids can run wild and dress up as a lion with a Safari-themed party or imagine all the fun under the big top as an elephant in a circus themed adventure.

The Just Pretend Perfect Party is the culmination of years of experience in the children’s product and textile industries for owners Charlene Walls and Jody Wiener. But more importantly, the passion for their project comes from the fact that both Walls and Wiener are grandparents. Over the years, they have seen parties change as they planned events for their own children and grandchildren.

“Planning a kids party is a lot more complicated than before. It used to be that all you needed was a cake and some party hats and you were good to go,” says Walls. “Now the expectation is much greater for parents as they compete with faster-paced media.”

The underlying mission behind every Just Pretend Kids products is to let children use their imaginations and create their own stories rather than simply retell something they just watched on a TV or a tablet. The Perfect Party packages do just that by giving kids rich material to work with that also happens to be open ended enough to let them fill in their own details.

Backers of the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign will be able to choose from a wide range of reward levels to help support the launch of the product line. Everything from popular Just Pretend Kids products, like plush animal backpacks and kids fashion t-shirts to complete party
