Which Party Theme Is Right for Your Child?
Every child is different, and the perfect party theme should reflect who they are right now. Whether your child dreams of castles, performing on a stage, or magical creatures, choosing the right theme can transform a birthday party into an unforgettable experience.
Here’s a guide to help you find the party theme that fits your child best!
For the Fairytale Dreamer: Princess Parties
If your child loves storybooks, gowns, crowns, and magical worlds, a princess party is a timeless choice. Princess parties are ideal for children who enjoy imaginative play, storytelling, and gentle interaction.
These parties include:
Sing-alongs and storytelling
Royal wishes and face glitter
A special coronation moment for the birthday child
Princess parties are especially popular for younger children and family-friendly gatherings.

Sing-along to all your favorite songs
Sparkly mic for the birthday star
They’re a favorite choice for tweens, older kids, and children who love the spotlight.

Unicorn-themed parties are whimsical, colorful, and full of imagination. They’re a great fit for children who love glitter, rainbows, and creative play.
These parties often include playful storytelling, themed games, and lots and lots of sparkle.
All of our performers play the Unicorn Princess. She is a favorite to all of our creative performers and each has their own unique twist on the character, make up, etc. You can request a specific performer at the time of booking and we will do our best to accommodate your request!
For the Bold and Theatrical: Wicked-Inspired Celebrations
Wicked-inspired parties are perfect for kids who love drama, confidence, and strong characters. With emerald glam and theatrical flair, these parties celebrate individuality and friendship.
They’re especially popular with kids who enjoy musicals, performance, and standing out.
Outside of birthday parties, these witches are most popular with adults! They work great at any event for any age. Wicked Brunch, Wicked Tea, Pink vs Green party, whatever your vision is, these two witches can bring it to life.

Planning a Kids Party in Baltimore: What to Know
Planning a children’s birthday party in Baltimore can feel overwhelming, but with the right plan, it becomes a joyful, memorable experience for the whole family. From choosing the right venue to booking entertainment your child truly loves, here’s everything Baltimore parents should know when planning a magical kids party.
Start With Your Guest List and Space
Before locking in details, decide how many children you’re inviting and where the party will take place. Baltimore families host celebrations in a variety of spaces, including homes, backyards, community centers, party venues, and local parks. There are no limitations on the number of kids per party, but we do recommend at minimum one character for every 12-15 kids to ensure that each child has one on one time with the performers.
If you’re hosting at home or outdoors, consider how much room kids will need for activities like dancing, games, or interactive entertainment. For indoor venues, always confirm space limitations and entertainment policies ahead of time.
Choose Entertainment That Matches Your Child’s Interests
Entertainment is often the heart of a kids party. In Baltimore, parents are moving away from passive activities and choosing interactive experiences that keep children engaged from start to finish.
Popular options include:
Princess parties with sing-alongs, storytelling, and royal coronation
K-Pop Demon Hunters inspired dance parties for high-energy fun
Unicorn-themed parties for children of all ages who love color and imagination
Wicked-inspired celebrations for kids who love theatrical flair based on the movie
Choosing entertainment your child genuinely loves creates excitement and helps the party flow naturally.
Pick a Kid-Friendly Baltimore Venue
Baltimore offers many family-friendly party locations. When selecting a venue, ask about:
Setup and cleanup time
Music and performance rules (especially glitter!)
Parking for guests
Space for performers and activities
Many families choose local community centers, recreation rooms, or private party spaces throughout Baltimore City, Towson, Catonsville, and surrounding areas.
Plan a Simple Party Timeline
A smooth timeline keeps kids happy and avoids overwhelm. Our professional entertainers will guide the flow, allowing parents to relax and enjoy the celebration. The structured entertainment will depend on the characters and package that you choose. A typical kids party works best with:
10 minutes for arrival, photos, and settling in
40 minutes of structured entertainment with the character
10 minutes for singing Happy Birthday, cake and family photos, goodbye hugs, etc.
Food, cake, and free play to follow after the character leaves
Don’t Forget the Little Details
Small touches make a big difference:
Themed decorations that match your party characters
A special moment for the birthday child
A space for photos and memories
Keeping things simple allows the magic to shine without stress. Our characters are totally mobile and will be moving around your party interacting with guests. It does help with structuring activities if there is a designated area for them to return to. For example, a chair placed near a photo backdrop where they can read for story time, sit for the face glitter, etc. They can leave all of their supplies there and many of your posed and candid photos will look well planned and put together in front of the backdrop.
Make It Magical Without the Stress
The best kids parties in Baltimore feel joyful, organized, and personal. Choosing trusted entertainment and planning ahead helps create a celebration your child will remember for years.
If you’re looking for princess parties, KPop celebrations, or themed kids entertainment in Baltimore, Glass Palace Parties would love to help bring your vision to life.

Enter the Land of OZ
One short day full of so much to do! Your party begins the moment our performers sweep in, dressed in their Emerald City finery. Our Wicked Witches instantly transport everyone to the magical land of Oz. From the first hello to the final photo, our characters keep the celebration upbeat, inclusive, and completely unforgettable.
A Spellbinding 1-Hour Wicked Party Itinerary
This is our standard one-hour Wicked Party Package featuring both Glinda and Elphaba. Just like magic, we can customize your party with add-ons or extended time. See upgrades below for 1.5- or 2-hour packages- think of what we could do, together.
Grand Entrance & Character Greetings Arrival
Your Wicked duo will call when they’re on the way and text when they’ve arrived. They’ll park discreetly so the children don’t catch a glimpse of them stepping out of their broomstick and bubble… er, car. If you’d like them to make a grand entrance with music or a special knock just let us know in advance. Get your cameras ready for that first gasp of excitement when “the Good” and “the Wicked” step into your celebration!
Magical Photo Opportunity
Start the fun with posed photos while everyone’s costumes and excitement are fresh. Whether it’s by the cake table or a backdrop our characters will strike their most “Popular” poses. You may even learn to toss toss! Each child will receive a signed autograph card to remember the day.
Interactive Storytime
Glinda and Elphaba will share their unforgettable tale of friendship and courage, sprinkling in a few secrets and silly jokes. Children will join in with sound effects (think broom whooshes, bubble pops, and monkey wings!) and help act out key moments from the Land of Oz.
Emerald City Sparkle
Get Galindafied with our special Ozian glitter (aloe-based). Choose between team pink or team green! Can’t decide? Well, pink goes good with green and everyone will leave with a little Wicked sparkle.
Sing-along time!
Get ready to belt out hits from the show! The witches will lead a high-energy sing-and-dance session featuring favorites like Popular, For Good, and Defying Gravity. You will be able to request your favorite songs in the Pre-Party Questionnaire that is due one week before your party.
Training Wand Induction Ceremony
Our Wicked pair will honor the birthday child with a training wand of their own and an official Ozian Certificate. Congratulotions! All party goers will receive a sprinkle of wishing dust, sealing the memory with friendship and fun.
Happy Birthday Song & Goodbye
And who can say we’ve been changed for the better, but because we knew you, we have been changed for good! With all eyes on the guest of honor, Glinda and Elphaba will lead a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday,” ensuring you can focus on capturing every magical second. After the final toss toss, they’ll say their goodbyes and head back to the Emerald City, leaving behind only sparkles and unforgettable memories.
Add-Ons for an Extra Ozian Touch
We have many magical customization options that you can choose from inside your Party Proposal at any time! These will be automatically added to your invoice when you make selections.
Wand Craft: This includes a craft for up to 12 guests. The character will supply all craft supplies. This must be requested at least one week in advance of the party.
Glitter tattoos: In addition to the face glitter, this will include a one to two glitter tattoos per child. Each tattoo takes about 2 minutes. If you have more than 12 kids, we recommend upgrading to the Premium Package to allow for the additional time.
Magic Mail: Keep the magic alive long after the party! Your child will receive a beautifully customized note from their favorite princess, delivered straight to their mailbox. Each note is personalized with a special memory from the party and a magical wish for their year ahead. Each letter includes a small keepsake and sprinkle of pixie dust!
An assistant: An assistant is a great addition if you would like an extra set of hands to help the party run smoothly. Their responsibilities would be to help gather the kids to do activities, take photos and videos, and to help with general party needs. They can help capture every hug and make sure you get your family portrait with the cake. The photos and videos would be taken on a phone and uploaded to a Google Drive after your party.
Level up the magic with longer party times
Goodness knows why you wouldn’t want even more time to celebrate in Oz! While they aren’t unlimited like these witches, we can offer longer party packages to extend the magic.
Premium Wicked Party – 1.5 Hours
Includes everything in the 1-hour package plus a crown, a themed craft for up to 12 guests, glitter tattoos, and an extra 30 minutes of Wicked fun.
Platinum Wicked Party – 2 Hours
The ultimate Oz adventure! Perfect for larger groups or little ones who want more singing, more dancing, and more magical moments. Additional time allows for Wicked-style games like “Monkey Says,” “Bubble Freeze Dance,” and more!
