It seems the phrase ‘only in America’ gets more and more of a work out every day but I’m not sure that the judgmental newspaper columnists have it quite right this time. There is a new trend sweeping the US which sees young girls, around five years old, celebrate their birthdays with a trip to the beauty salon, with chauffeur driven limousine transport all the way of course.
But perhaps the journalist making fun of the whole idea and gently chastising the parents of these children for spending so much money on their parties and encouraging them to be shallow and outwardly preoccupied, has forgotten what it is like to be a five year old girl. You’re getting into mum’s nail polish and lipstick anyway. You’re tramping around the house in her stilettos and you’re having dress up parties with your friends and fighting over who gets the Princess outfit.
I know if my daughter wanted a ‘beauty party’ I would get the local limo hire company on the phone, pile her friends into their ‘carriage’ for the day and enjoy the fact that girls will be girls – not to mention revel in the fact that there was no party mess to clean up when I got home.
I think a beauty parlor party is fun and girls love to play princess but personally speaking a limo for hire is totally out of the question.
I remember being 5 and loving to play dress up but I do not remember even thinking about a limo or even knowing what their purpose was…that’s just me and everyone is entitled to celebrate however they choose but my time spent in a limo is far and few between so I will not have my kids in one anytime soon.
Limo Dreams have a great reputation with local schools picking up from the playground and transporting the kids to a local restaurant. The chauffer is dressed in a costume of choice. On the web site we have “Tigger” from “Winnie the pooh” Check it out on the gallery. The parents follow behind. This is costed at £195.00 within an area of 5 miles. The number of jobs proves its value for money.
From an operators point of veiw, once you’ve done one, all the kids want one.
Start at 3:30 finish at 17:30.
That’s right, once a kid sees a friend hiring a limo, they all want one! It’s novelty for kids, and great for operators!
But don’t forget, the parent makes the decision, so service is a big factor!
