“If you’re not invited to the party, throw your own.“
~Diahann Carroll
If you are looking for a fun way to make a birthday or other sleepover event more exciting for your children, you need to talk to Nichole Kirk with Savvy Slumber Parties and More. Kirk began the party entertainment service in September 2022 after a cousin in Dallas sent her pictures after she had hired a similar service there, knowing it would be a perfect fit for her. Having grown up in Ponca City, Kirk knew the unique idea could be a hit in Ponca City and the surrounding area.
Savvy Slumber Parties is a wonderfully unique way to celebrate a child’s (or adult’s, actually) special interests. The decorations of the tents can be tailored to the individual in many ways. They can be simply color-specific or specially themed. Themes are limitless, such as holidays, movies, butterflies, unicorns, rainbows, sports and anything else you can imagine. Half of the fun can be deciding on the theme!
parties so far have been for 9-12-year-old girls, that doesn’t have to be the case. Themes could be for boys, too, and the themes and parties can expand to include bachelorette parties and such for more fun. Right now, Nichole has 10 available beds and frames with twin-size beds, so it makes for comfortable sleeping. The tents make it nice for individuals who are ready to sleep or get alone time reading or something so that others at the party can have more time together. She said her customers have mentioned their satisfaction because individuals were happy being able to do what they choose during the evening and night.
Depending on what the party-planner might want, Kirk mentions she can also provide a fun dining table, snack table, picnic or other items for the party as well. She will set up the day of the party and come back the next day to break everything down at the customer’s convenience. Generally, parties are set up in homes or basements, but they could be in other buildings, nice barns or other locations that work for this type of event. Again, there are many choices that work.
Nichole loves providing a creative service in the community that has been the home for her family for years. Her parents both graduated from Po-Hi, she and her husband Robbie did, and now they are raising their two kids, Kamper and Kamdyn, here. Both of her kids are very active, and Kamdyn is crafty like she is and enjoys helping her. Of this entertainment venture, Nichole says, “I love giving our community another option for something new and fun. Plus, I get to meet new people which I’ve really enjoyed.”
Reserving your date for this fun way to celebrate only takes $50! Message Nichole Kirk today for more information about Savvy Slumber Parties and to find out all she can offer while discussing your thematic ideas. She can be reached by messaging her on her Facebook page Savvy Slumber Parties and More.
