The experience

Stuff it, dress it, name it — love it forever

Want to make your child’s birthday even more special? A Build-A-Bestie party brings the build-a-bear party home: every guest customizes their own stuffed animal — choosing from a wide selection of plush friends, stuffing them with a wishing star or heart, and dressing them in a white tee they decorate with fabric markers.

Each new bestie comes with its own birth certificate, and we bring everything: the table, the chairs, the setup, and the cleanup. It is an engaging, screen-free activity that doubles as the party favor — a keepsake your guests will hug for years.
