Happy New Year ✨ Welcome to 2026
As we step into a brand new year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the support, trust and love shown to Party Pals throughout 2025. It was a full, colourful year, and I’m so grateful to have been part of so many celebrations and special moments.
With the new year comes reflection, and after taking some time to look at where things are at for my family and myself, I’ll be making a few changes to the services I offer for the current season I’m in.
From now on, I will no longer be taking bookings for styled parties, balloon décor, face painting, or pay-per-balloon events, including markets, charity events or similar requests.
While I may occasionally collaborate with others on select community events, I don’t currently have plans to host or run my own events. (E.g. Easter Fun Fest, Halloween Spooktacular)
👉 What is reopening in 2026:
• Paid balloon twisting bookings
- Private birthday parties (Gympie region only)
- Corporate and paid event bookings (Available from Fraser Coast to Sunshine Coast)
These changes come down to family first. My kids need me more right now, and weekend work isn’t always viable. Any booking I accept needs to be genuinely worth it, as I need to arrange care before committing.
This may not be forever — but for the season we’re in, it’s necessary.
Thank you again for being part of the Party Pals journey. This next chapter looks a little different, but it feels right.
— Amanda 💛
