Midweek Special Birthday: A Parent’s Guide
Plan a weekday birthday with mini spa treatments, games and dancing, including the guest list, food arrangements and after-school timing questions.

What makes this a weekday package
The Midweek Special is a two-hour weekday birthday package for ages 4 to 10. It combines mini spa activities with games, dancing and a cake ceremony. Choose it for that activity mix rather than assuming it includes one of the slime, painting or tie-dye workshops listed in separate birthday packages.
The mini spa details list a mini pedi with soaking, filing, polish and lotion, a mini mani, and a choice of glitter tattoo and lip glitter. Table design and soft drinks are also listed. Explain the activities to parents and ask the team about any relevant sensitivities or participation needs before the visit.
Check that a weekday works for your guests
Before selecting a date, consider school collection, travel and the time families need to get home. Ask a few key guests whether the proposed window is practical. Request the actual start time through the booking process rather than assuming an after-school slot is available because the package is called Midweek Special.
Give the full venue address and agreed collection time on invitations. A two-hour experience does not include each family’s journey or permission to enter early. If siblings may attend, ask whether they will participate and how they affect the headcount. Confirm adult attendance directly with the team as well.
Plan for both movement and mini spa time
Ask the team what clothing and footwear work for games, dancing and the mini spa activities, then pass that guidance to parents. Guests do not need a special costume unless you have discussed one. If your child wants a playlist or themed game, check whether that request fits the planned experience.
Tell Hily’s if a guest may be uncomfortable with a treatment or needs an adjustment to an activity. Follow the waiver instructions supplied with the booking. Avoid organising an additional workshop yourself without asking, since extra equipment and activities need to fit the space and the time already allocated to the party.
Confirm the meal and cake arrangements
The package includes a cake ceremony, but parents arrange the cake and food. These are separate points to confirm when planning a weekday visit. Ask about delivery and serving, especially if guests are arriving close to a usual mealtime. Collect relevant allergy information before placing an order.
Digital invitations, tablecloths, paper plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, water, juice and food and cake time are listed in the package details. Check what is already supplied before buying more tableware. If you plan to bring decorations, agree on setup arrangements rather than assuming the booking starts before the invited guests arrive.
Review the price and finish the booking
Check the current group-price tier using the expected number of children, including HST and any extras. The page lists additional-child pricing for parties of eleven to sixteen children. Hair styling, face painting and themed loot bags are optional paid additions, so request them separately rather than treating them as standard inclusions.
Wait for a pending booking request to be confirmed before sending final invitations. Keep the customer dashboard link so you can review the date, time and party details later. If plans change, contact the team or use the available dashboard options and wait for confirmation before giving guests new information. The Midweek Special page below has the current package details.
