Kitty suits children who enjoy kindness, friendship and gentle humour. If your child talks about pretty things, pets, cupcakes or having a best friend, this theme may feel familiar and comforting to them. It also works well for guests who are shy at first, because the mood tends to be softer than a boisterous superhero romp.

Before you commit, think about your child's temperament. Some children love being the star of a dance, while others prefer quiet crafts or sitting close to a friendly face. Discuss these ideas with the team so the entertainer can read the room and offer activities that match the guest of honour and the group.

A warm greeting is often the most memorable part of a character visit. One optional idea is a personal welcome where the entertainer asks the birthday child to introduce a favourite toy or stuffed friend, then invites that friend into a short game of tea party manners. Another idea is a call-and-response greeting, where children copy a friendly gesture or hand wave before the cake moment.

Ask which activities suit your child. For a quieter guest, a simple sticker or bracelet moment at the table may feel more comfortable than a group song. For a more outgoing group, you might discuss a short imaginative story in which the birthday child helps decorate a cake for a friend.

Children tend to settle best when the visit has a clear, gentle sequence. Consider how many guests you are inviting and whether some children may need space to step back. One possible sequence is a greeting, a seated activity at the table, one shared moment with the birthday child, and then cake or goodbyes. Each stage can be adjusted to suit energy levels.

Discuss with the team how they keep quieter children included. Options include offering a low-pressure role such as handing out party favours, or inviting a child to pick the next game. Ask which activities suit your group so the visit feels calm rather than rushed.

When you contact the team, share details that shape the experience: the birthday child's age, the number of guests, whether the party is indoors or outdoors and any sensitivities such as loud noises or unfamiliar costumes. Mention whether your child is shy around new characters so the entertainer can plan a gentle approach.

Ask the team how long the visit can run, how the entertainer arrives and how the handoff to hosts will work. Ask which parts of the plan can be adapted on the day. These questions help you choose a visit that feels personal, warm and suitable for your child.
