Get to know us!
Made by a mum,
for other mums (and dads too!).
Hi, I’m Misty - the mum behind Dinky Kids Party Hire. I’ve got two little girls of my own, so I know exactly how important (and hectic) planning a child’s birthday party can be. You want something fun, memorable, and a little bit magical - but also something that won’t break the bank or take weeks of preparation. That’s where I come in.
Dinky Kids Party Hire is a small, family-run business based on the Hibiscus Coast, offering affordable, flexible party hire for children ages 0-10. From themed party packages to bouncy castles, soft play setups and even DIY options, we’re all about making your child’s big day as easy and enjoyable as possible - for both of you.
We might be best known for kids' birthdays, but any reason to celebrate is a good one in our books. Whatever you’re planning, reach out — we’d love to help bring your event to life with a bit of Dinky Kids magic.
For the parents juggling it all
Whether you’re planning your very first party or you’re a seasoned party-thrower, I see you. Between work, school drop-offs and trying to remember where you hid the wrapping paper and tape - adding “event planner” to your list isn’t always realistic.
That’s why Dinky Kids Party Hire exists. I’ve designed everything with busy parents in mind: clear options, flexible packages and easy communication. I treat every celebration as if it were for my own daughters - so you can relax knowing it’s all being taken care of.
Why Dinky Kids Party Hire is different
I know there are other places you could hire from - but what sets Dinky Kids apart is how personal it all is. You’re not dealing with a big company or a team of strangers. It’s just me (and my little helpers) making sure your child's birthday is something special.
I’m flexible, approachable and genuinely want to make your life easier. Need to tweak something last-minute? I’ll do my best! Want something custom but affordable? Let’s chat. I’m all about finding the balance between Pinterest-worthy and parent-friendly.
Real fun, real simple
At the end of the day, my goal is to help families celebrate in a way that’s fun, stress-free and memorable. Because childhood goes so fast - and those little moments do matter.
Thanks for stopping by and supporting a local, family-run business. I can’t wait to help you plan your next special day.
Ngā mihi,
Misty
