MSE Standard Individual Session Access

Take the stress out of party decorating! Our Decorated Sensory-Safe Party Setup service provides beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sensory-friendly decorations professionally set up before your party begins. We handle all the details, creating a festive atmosphere that celebrates your child without causing sensory overwhelm.

Why Sensory-Safe Decorations Matter:

Traditional Party Decorations Can Be Overwhelming:
– Loud colors and busy patterns
– Metallic, shiny surfaces that create glare
– Balloons that pop unexpectedly
– Strong artificial scents
– Cluttered, visually chaotic spaces
– Flashing or blinking lights
– Noisy decorations (streamers, banners that rustle)

Our Sensory-Friendly Approach:
✓ Calming, coordinated color schemes
✓ Matte finishes (no glare or shine)
✓ Organized, uncluttered visual presentation
✓ Scent-free decorations
✓ Predictable, stable decorations (nothing that moves unexpectedly)
✓ Soft, natural lighting enhancement
✓ Quiet materials
✓ Autism acceptance and neurodiversity-affirming themes

Decorated Setup Includes:

Party Area Transformation:
– Tables decorated with sensory-friendly tablecloths and runners
– Coordinated centerpieces (non-overwhelming, calming)
– Birthday banner or sign (customized with child’s name and age)
– Wall decorations (themed but not cluttered)
– Coordinated color scheme throughout

Theme Options:
We offer several sensory-friendly theme options:
– **Calm Rainbow**: Soft pastel rainbow colors, organized and peaceful

– **Favorite Color**: Monochromatic or two-color scheme in child’s preferred colors
– **Animal Friends**: Gentle animal themes (woodland creatures, ocean animals, etc.)
