Read on to learn what to do when you’re ready to welcome one of New Jersey’s best party characters to your stellar shindig!
Step One: Choose Your Venue
If you’d like to throw a party with a character from Rent Party Characters in Somerset County, NJ, your first step should be to choose a venue. Naturally, this process will look different for birthday parties than for corporate events! We’ve brought out party characters everywhere, from homes to conference halls, so the only limit is your imagination.
We’re happy to send our superheroes, princesses, and impersonators to indoor or outdoor locations, meaning that a pool party isn’t off the table! We pride ourselves on the quality and construction of our costumes, so we prefer if characters have a dry, covered place to stay during visits. An outdoor pop-up tent, covered porch, or screened outdoor area is perfect.
Unfortunately, even our mightiest superheroes can’t control the weather! If you’re planning an outdoor party or event, please designate an indoor location in case of rain or extreme heat.
If you’ll be using a commercial venue, event hall, or other space you don’t own, please check with their management or special events team first. They sometimes have policies regarding hiring outside vendors and might need extra information from us. Knowing these things in advance can make a big difference in the success of your event!
Step Two: Plan Ahead
Do you know which characters or favorite stars you’d like to visit your party? We suggest making a list of your top three choices to start. Our heroes and heroines are often off saving the world (or attending other parties), so it can be helpful to have a backup plan, just in case!
If you want to ensure that your first choice character is ready to party on the day of your event, we highly recommend calling to book between four and six weeks in advance. The earlier you get in touch, the sooner we can begin planning for your big day!
It can sometimes be helpful to keep your party dates flexible when you call to book a character rental. If you’re hosting the event at your home or business, consider choosing a few dates that might work. That way, if your princess is in another castle on one date, you can shift to another.
While we list many of our most popular characters on our website, don’t feel limited! If you have your heart set on another princess, superhero, mascot, or celebrity, ask us about them! We’re committed to the success of your event, and we’ll do all we can to track down your favorites.
Before you call, know how long you’d like your character’s visit to last. We offer packages ranging from one to three hours in duration. That includes plenty of fun add-ons, from professional face painting to balloons.
If your event will be outside, this is the time to arrange any other rentals you need. Warm weather visits tend to go smoother when there is a covered, shaded area for meet and greets. If your entire party is character-themed, work on those decorations now!
Step Three: Invite Your Guests
Once your date, venue, and character rental are in place, it’s time to invite your guests! Send out invitations, e-vites, or create a social media event and get the word out! We designed our party packages to serve parties of specific sizes, so request RSVPs just in case you need to adjust.
Now is the time to decide whether you want your character’s visit to be a surprise or not. Many little princesses and superheroes enjoy dressing up to greet their favorite characters! If you let your guests know in advance, you might have more than one princess or superhero making an appearance, which can be lots of fun for little partiers!
Step Four: Enjoy Your Incredible Party
Many party hosts ask us what they need to do on the day of the event. The answer is: have fun! Our costumed performers come with everything they need to provide your guests with an hour or more of quality entertainment!
Here’s what you can expect during every party with Rent Party Characters:
- An exciting theme-music entrance
- Hands-on party games
- Plenty of photo opportunities with guests
- Happy Birthday Song and cake cutting (for birthday celebrations)
- Character parade
- Signed autographs from your character

We even offer virtual entertainment for online or hybrid events. We want you to enjoy your celebration. We’ll do what we can to help our talented performers deliver you an all-star experience, wherever you are!
