My Braids Party by Arnaud

My Braids Party by Arnaud is a Zurich children's party business, registered c/o Impact Hub at Sihlquai 131 in 8005 Zurich, that sends an animator to a family's home or to a chosen location to run face painting, glitter make-up, glitter tattoos, party games and its signature activity, braids. Its face painting page is written for children's birthdays, but the animator comes "an den gewünschten Ort" (to the desired place), so a reception venue is within the model. For a wedding with a table of children, that means a self-contained activity station that arrives with its own kit.

How a face painting session runs

The face painting page walks through the session step by step. The animator arrives with everything needed: paints, brushes, glitter, cleaning wipes and a mirror. After a short greeting, the children choose their own motifs or colors. The site says the animator carries many templates, from animals and flowers to superheroes and fairies, and the page's opening lines promise children turned into butterflies, tigers, princesses or superheroes.

While the children are being painted, music plays, and the site describes the mood as cheerful and relaxed. Each child gets a personal design, which the page says is matched to the child's wish, age and skin type. One detail on the page is useful for a wedding: "Nicht jedes Kind möchte ein ganzes Gesicht bemalt haben" (not every child wants a whole face painted). For those children, the business offers light, sparkly glitter make-up as an alternative to classic face painting. At a wedding, where some older children may not want a full tiger face in the photos, that is a sensible option to have.

The extras

Under "Zusätzliche Highlights" (additional highlights), the page lists three options that can be added when booking:

• party games for movement and team fun
• glitter tattoos with sparkly designs the site calls "hautfreundlich" (skin-friendly)
• braids, which the page calls its highlight activity, done with colored hair extensions

Braids are what the business is named after. The contact page's own description sums up the company as organizing "vollständig betreute Braids-Partys in Zürich" (fully supervised braids parties in Zurich), and the page description sells a braids birthday party as two hours of fun with colorful braids, games and creative activities. For a wedding, braids have one advantage over face paint: they stay neat through dinner and dancing, and they suit the girls in a wedding party who want something festive in their hair.

Packages and prices

The face painting page has a heading "Unsere Kinderschminken-Pakete" (our face painting packages) and invites the reader to choose the package that suits the celebration, but no packages or prices appear under it on the page. The site publishes no price list. The only stated duration is the two hours in the braids party description. A couple has to ask for a quote, naming the number of children, the date, the time and the venue, and which of the activities they want.

The footer links to general terms and conditions (AGB) and a refund page (Rückerstattung), so written terms exist; a couple should read those before paying, since the pages shown here do not summarize them.

Contact and booking

The contact page gives the email address contact@mybraidsparty.ch, the phone number +41 78 953 38 24 and WhatsApp. It says the team usually replies within a few hours ("Wir antworten in der Regel innerhalb weniger Stunden"). There are "Jetzt buchen" (book now) and "Jetzt Verfügbarkeit prüfen" (check availability now) buttons. The contact page also says the business works with brands, events and venues as well as private clients, and invites both party inquiries and collaboration requests.

The registered details are listed in full: UID CHE-277.730.057 and the commercial register number CH-020.1.073.399-3. For a couple booking from abroad, that is a small reassurance that this is a registered Swiss business and not a private hobby listing.

The site also offers a free download of 40 invitation card designs for children's birthdays, sent as a Canva link after signing up. It is a birthday item, but it shows how firmly the site is built around children's parties.

What the site does not say

The site is published in German, and it does not say whether the animator works in English or any other language. For a wedding with children from abroad, that is the first question to ask, since the session is built around talking to each child about the design they want.

It names no service area beyond Zurich. The contact page speaks of braids parties in Zurich and the address is in Zurich; whether the animator travels to a venue elsewhere in the country, and at what cost, is not stated.

It states no minimum or maximum number of children, no price and no face painting duration. It does not describe any wedding work or show wedding references. It gives no setup requirements, such as a table, chairs, light or power for music.

Who this suits

My Braids Party suits a wedding in or around Zurich with a group of children who would enjoy a hands-on activity rather than a show, and a couple who likes the idea of the children choosing their own design. The braids option is the distinctive part, since the business is built around it, and it gives older children something that feels grown-up rather than babyish. The glitter make-up alternative covers the children who do not want a painted face, so a mixed-age group has more than one thing to choose from, and the party games can fill the time for those who would rather move than sit still at the painting table.

It suits a couple who is happy to get a quote by email or WhatsApp; the stated reply time is short, which helps when planning from another time zone.

It is a less obvious fit for a couple who needs a published price before inquiring, a venue far from Zurich, or a group of children who speak no German, until the language question has been answered. And because the site is written entirely around birthday parties at home, a couple should describe the wedding setting clearly: where the station would be, how long it should run and how many children are expected.
