Oogles n Googles™—The Party Company that Takes Kids Seriously
Indianapolis, IN–Two hours of fun-filled, zany non-stop action, imagination, games, songs, twisting, and shouting are all elements of an Oogles n Googles™ specialty kids' birthday party. Oogles n Googles™ is the fastest growing children's party provider in Indiana. Each Oogles n Googles™ birthday party comes with a fully-themed storyline, a custom-baked Oogles n Googles™ theme cake, a uniquely themed goody bag, a souvenir photo, a special gift for the guest of honor, and a memorable birthday experience.
Oogles n Googles™ owners Kevin and Danya Mendell have created a birthday party entertainment company that offers a completely unique birthday event for young children and their parents. Mendells, who have three young children—ages 16 months to seven-years-old—were frustrated with their own inability to find a unique party experience for their children. Thus the concept for the Indianapolis-based Oogles n Googles™ was born.
"I've always been a theatrical person, and I know kids enjoy that kind of interaction so we decided to add that dynamic to our business with themes popular with children today," states Kevin Mendell. "From there, Danya began writing skits. We made costumes for each theme with coordinating party favors and decorations. We're creating real entertainment for the children. No one gets bored, and the parents watch their children from the sidelines," continues Mendell.
Mendells believe that their parties are for today's over-committed, time-limited parents who, despite their overwhelming schedules, still just want a wholesome, fun, and memorable birthday party for their children. Oogles n Googles™ parties take all this into consideration and put forth a party that is easy on mom and dad and eventful for all who are involved.
Some of the unique themes Oogles n Googles™ offers parents and children to choose from include:
Tea Time |
Twist and Shout |
Rev Your Engines |
Down on the Farm |
I Spy Detective School |
Wizard School |
Once Upon a Time |
Pop Rock Party |
Super Heroes |
Teddy Bear Tea |
Hula, Hula, Hula |
Hurry, Hurry Ride the Fire Truck |
Oogles n Googles™ parties are lively and designed to razzle and dazzle birthday guests non-stop from start to finish. Some of the activities kids will find themselves doing during an Oogles n Googles™ party includes: crafts, singing, dress up activities, playing party games, dancing, and being entertained.
Oogles n Googles™ parties have been chosen by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis as their official birthday party facilitator in charge of all their museum birthday parties. "Now, Oogles n Googles™ parties can come to your home, your choice of venue, or to one of the nation's top museums," states Kevin Mendell. "The birthday party options for families in Central Indiana have never been greater."
