Tie-Dye Birthday Party: A Parent’s Guide

What children will make and do

The Tie-Dye Birthday Party combines a T-shirt workshop with mini spa treatments. The package lists a pre-washed cotton T-shirt, dyes and rubber bands, with instructor-led swirl, spiral or bullseye techniques. Each child takes home their shirt. It is listed for ages 6 to 13 and runs for two hours.

Mini mani-pedis, lip glitter, gentle eyeliner, face and hair glitter, and glitter tattoos are also included in the listed activities. This is not two hours spent only dyeing shirts. Ask the team how the activities and food time will fit your group, and share anything that may affect a child’s participation before the visit.

Confirm shirt sizes and colour questions early

Once you know who is attending, ask the team which shirt-size information is needed and when to provide it. Do not guess sizes for other children if their parents can supply them. Confirm that the information has been received, especially if your guest count changes after the initial booking.

If your child wants a particular colour combination, discuss it before promising it to guests. Ask which colour choices and techniques are available for the workshop. Children will make their own designs, so matching results should not be assumed. There is no need to bring extra shirts, dyes or equipment unless the team specifically asks you to.

Give parents the clothing and waiver information

Ask Hily’s what children should wear for the dyeing activity, then send those instructions with the invitation. A craft party may need different clothing from a dress-up celebration. Confirm any protective arrangements directly instead of assuming an apron or a change of clothes will be provided.

Explain that mini spa treatments are part of the package too. Follow the waiver instructions and tell the team about relevant allergies, sensitivities or requested adjustments ahead of time. If a child does not want to dye a shirt or try a treatment, discuss how participation will work rather than arranging a separate activity without approval.

Settle the group price, food and extras

Use the expected number of children to check the group-price tier and any additional-child charges. The package page lists additional-child pricing for parties of eleven to twenty-four children. Check the current amounts and HST, and confirm adult attendance separately. Optional hair styling, face painting and loot bags need to be requested and budgeted for.

Parents arrange food and cake. Digital invitations, tableware, water, juice and food and cake time are listed in the package details. Ask about serving and delivery arrangements before ordering, and keep food requirements separate from questions about the workshop materials. Confirm arrival and collection times before sending final invitations.

Plan how the shirts will travel home

Ask the team how finished shirts are packed and which care instructions parents need. Do not assume they can be worn immediately or washed like ordinary laundry that evening. Pass on the actual instructions supplied with the workshop rather than copying a dyeing guide that may use different materials or methods.

A shirt can be the main take-home item, making an extra favour bag optional. Make sure each child leaves with the correct project and their belongings. Keep your booking details available in the customer dashboard, and contact the team about changes. The service page below is the place to check current inclusions and request a date.
