Hey if you’re looking for some fun, my friend Andy’s business Great Kids Events is the best! They have inflatables, DJs, concessions and more and they have strong cleaning requirements. You can also do something like a movie night or games that are social distancing friendly. Check it out and contact Andrew with any questions.
My friend Mrs B does awesome tea parties!
Mrs. B is a combination of Mary Poppins and Ms. Frizzle. Her Falls Church tearoom hosts birthdays, camps, showers and periodic public teas for adults and children. People come together at her fancy table to savor delicious treats, visit, and enjoy learning her modern and light hearted approach to being well mannered.
Check out our tea party on YouTube! Or see for yourself! Tea with Mrs. B is hosting an in-person Manners Camp now through the first week of September. Space is limited and you can register for a day or week. Enjoy!
