Kids birthday party in Thao Dien, District 2

A party for a bilingual group of friends

When children do not share a language, activities built on pictures, music and gestures are easier than ones that need explaining. Dancing to music, statues and blowing bubbles need few words. If a game needs instructions, ask two adults, one for each language, to stand together and say one short rule at the same time.

Face painting is easier because children pick a design by pointing at a picture. They can choose before you book, and on the day just point. Our website has an English version, so English-speaking parents can read the prices and message us about a date themselves. We can talk with children and parents in English or Vietnamese, whichever the event needs, and children can also just point to a picture.

Home, function room or a hired place

Choose the space to suit your guest list:

• Home: you control the space and the timing, which suits a modest group of families who already know each other
• Apartment function room: more space for parents to sit and talk, which suits guests from many families. Ask management about hours and rules rather than guessing
• A hired place: write down everything you agree, including entry and exit times and whether an outside entertainer may come in

Invitations and what to tell parents

You can make a birthday invitation with your child's face: pick a face, type the name, date and place, and send it on Zalo. The invitation is drawn on your own device.

Whether on that card or in a plain message, state the date, the start and end times, the place, whether parents stay or collect later, a reply date, and a note that there will be face painting so parents can tell you about sensitive skin. Here is a two-language message you can edit:

"Mời bạn đến sinh nhật của [tên bé] vào [ngày], từ [giờ bắt đầu] đến [giờ kết thúc], tại [nơi tổ chức]. Sẽ có họa sĩ vẽ mặt, xin báo trước nếu bé có da nhạy cảm."

"Join us for [child's name]'s birthday on [date], from [start time] to [end time], at [place]. There will be face painting, so please let us know in advance if your child has sensitive skin."

Face painting in District 2: how booking works

District 2, including Thao Dien and An Phu, is one of the areas where we take bookings. It is not our office address. The page on face painting in District 2 has more about this area.

To ask about a date, message us on Zalo at 0908 980 603 with the date, time, kind of place, number of children and anyone with sensitive skin. We cannot promise every colour suits every child. Our public prices are 500,000₫ for 1 hour and 900,000₫ for 2 hours, with longer bookings agreed separately, shown on the face painting prices page.

The painting spot needs 1 table and 2 chairs, a shaded spot outdoors, and we move indoors if it rains. As an estimate, each artist paints about 10 to 15 faces per hour, depending on the design, and for a big party we have up to 5 artists.

A two-hour schedule

Each stop below notes how to handle language:

• Start of hour one: welcome guests, parents introduce the children to each other by name, and the children play freely
• Second half of hour one: a game led by music or movement, with the rule said in both languages in one short sentence
• Start of hour two: open the painting table, children choose by pointing at a picture, and those waiting colour or play something gentle
• Second half of hour two: cake and the birthday song, which you can sing in each language in turn
• End: party bags, a group photo and a reminder of pick-up time
