What is Addie’s Closet Parties?
This company is way more than just singing princesses at children’s birthday parties. Courtney Frost, the owner and founder, began this company in the midst of a global pandemic. Courtney and her team have never worked harder than this past year to make the company what it is today.
The company originally began as a clothing company for her daughter, Addie. They began to transition to event hosting, and in January 2020 they put out their first casting call for characters.
Their first event at Meijer in Monroe was such a big hit, they had to stay an extra hour because the line was wrapped around the building! After that, they began to focus efforts on their characters. Despite the difficulties of the pandemic, Courtney’s business continued to grow online throughout quarantine.
Courtney has never been more thankful for how everything turned out. She added that it was all possible through the help of her team.
“(My team) is truly amazing at what they do and all put in extra time to ensure every child is left with a special moment.”
Courtney Frost, founder of Addie’s Closet Parties
Character Overview
They offer over 30 characters to rent out at parties, and are continuously growing their character numbers. The characters will sing, dance, do live performances, and take pictures with the kids. Every kid at the party receives a picture and an autograph from their favorite character.
Along with the parties they also offer Zoom calls, which is a great COVID friendly option! Their most popular characters currently are Anna and the “Ice Queen.” Their newest character is the Dragon Princess, based on the new hit movie “Raya and the Last Dragon.”
Courtney strives to keep the characters up to date and fresh so she’s always updating costumes and wigs. Each character must go through extensive character training and follow strict character guidelines.
What Else Do They Offer?
You name it, they’ll probably have it! Along with the princesses, they offer a wide variety of other party needs. From bounce house rentals to party planning help, they have you covered for all party needs!
They also offer free character livestreams on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For $5 the character will give a shoutout to whomever you want.
I sound like an infomercial but seriously, wait there’s more! You can rent things like snack carts, tents, and inflatable movie screens – all perfect for summer!
Right now they are offering tons of Easter specials. Check out their website here for more information on that!
Addie’s Wishes Foundation
Along with everything mentioned above, Addie’s Closet Parties started a new program this year called Addie’s Wishes Foundation. Basically, children with terminal illnesses can email in and their favorite characters will jump on a video call with them for free!
Courtney started this program because when her daughter Addie was born, the hospital messed up some paperwork and Addie had to be admitted to the NICU for a week. After that traumatic experience, Courtney wanted to give back. Their goal for 2021 is to do 100 calls to kids in need.
What Can You Expect in 2021?
They have so much planned for 2021! In April they will be at an indoor carnival with character meet and greets. They will be having their second annual Tea and Tiara’s – a princess tea party where everyone gets to use real china dish ware. They’ll have a Princess Ball in November, a Mermaid Workshop in the summer, and Santa Clause will be back in the winter.
They are always running promotions so check our their site for deals and more info here!
