Queen Bee Face Painting: A Birthday Party Success

1

Mamas know how much fun planning their littles’ birthday parties are! However, they are also a lot of work!

DMMB is all about making mamas’ lives easier: we’ve given you advice Where to Host A Birthday Party in Des Moines, shared Birthday Party Tips & Tricks, given you Girl Party Ideas, and ideas for a Boy Birthday Bash.

And here’s a simple and easy way to ensure your next event is a huge hit: hire Queen Bee Face Painting!

We’ve told you before how much we love local mama Erika Hotchkin. Many of you got to meet her at our Heritage Carousel event last June or our sold out Frozen event last September. Erika offers creative, temporary creations for any event, but this time I’m focusing on The Birthday Party!

The Birthday Party

We have been so impressed with Erika’s creativity. Her sweet spirit is refreshing! Our kids adore her, and we consider her a close friend here at DMMB. So it was an easy decision to have her be the star of my daughters 5th birthday party.

Erika is always so great to work with! She’s energetic, positive, flexible, easy to work with, and does whatever she can to make your event great. I’m all about making things easy for Mama these days, so having her at the party was perfect and saved me time and energy preparing activities and games to keep everyone busy.

Erika arrived early to get everything set up and was ready when the kids arrived. She asked me ahead of time the party theme so she could create a poster board of pre-selected creations. She brought several Frozen options so the kids could easily see what they wanted. Although it was hard to pick from the many amazing designs, each little guest took her time deciding and had her own special look for the party! We’re pretty girly around here, so the more swirls, jewels, sparkles, and colors, the better. Each was so proud to look in the mirror and see what she chose!

Erika is so gentle and great with the kids. A few were apprehensive about the process because they hadn’t had their faces painted before, and Erika was great to explain the process and give them time to warm up!

Erika’s prices are so reasonable! Fifty dollars for one hour of painting for parties of 10 or less. Instead of buying gift bags of easily breakable toys, give the kids a transformation experience and have unique memorable pictures of their special day.

  1. Erika Hotchkin is the lovely lady ever. It is a gift from god to know her. I have autism and I’m a Face Painter myself and omg I was blown away with how much of an angel she is. She has a heart of 24k gold. I was so blessed to be with her at a convention in Texas and from the moment I got there till the moment I left, she put me under her wing and took care of me. She painted the most gorgeous rainbow butterfly on my face and sang me you are my sunshine which today is our song. I have such a close bond with her and we did everything together. Omg any child that gets their face painted by Erika is being given a blessing. Please by all means, she loveliest person ever, I recommend anybody who can to use Erika.
