To throw an Encanto-themed birthday party in Tampa, bring the Madrigal family to life with a live character visit from Mirabel or Isabela, colorful floral décor inspired by Casita, and activities like a sing-along and “gift ceremony” that mirror the movie’s magical themes. Parties with Character offers both Mirabel and Isabela as bookable performers, making it easy to turn your child’s celebration into their very own Encanto casita.

Encanto has become one of the most requested themes for Tampa birthday parties, and it’s easy to see why – the movie is packed with color, music, and a message that resonates with kids of every personality. Here’s how to plan one that feels straight out of the Madrigal house.

Which Encanto Characters Can I Book for a Party in Tampa?

Parties with Character offers two beloved Madrigal sisters:

• Mirabel – warm, curious, and relatable – is a wonderful fit for kids who feel they don’t need magical powers to be special. Her genuine, down-to-earth energy makes her especially good with shy or sensitive birthday children.
• Isabela – graceful and flower-filled, Isabela brings elegance and a bit of glamour, perfect for families who want a more polished, botanical party aesthetic.

Booking both sisters together creates a full “family reunion” moment and gives guests double the photo opportunities.

What Decor Fits an Encanto Birthday Theme?

Encanto’s visual world is built around vibrant Colombian textiles, oversized tropical flowers, and warm golden light. Consider:

• Bright florals in fuchsia, marigold, and turquoise
• Woven textile-inspired table runners or backdrops
• A “casita door” photo backdrop for entrance photos
• Butterflies and candles as nods to the family’s magical gifts
• Warm string lighting for an evening celebration

What Activities Work Best for an Encanto Party?

Beyond the character meet-and-greet, families often build their Encanto party around:

• A live sing-along to the movie’s most memorable songs, included in every Parties with Character package
• A “magic gift” moment, where each child is celebrated for something unique about them — a sweet nod to the movie’s themes of individuality
• A Birthday Princess Coronation ceremony, which pairs naturally with Isabela’s regal energy
• Storytime, available with the 60-minute Crown Jewels Package, where Mirabel can share her own version of the Madrigal family story

Which Package Works Best for an Encanto Celebration?

For most families, the 30-minute Glass Slipper Package ($285) hits the right pacing for younger children, including photos, a sing-along, and a coronation moment. Families wanting more storytelling and a themed dance party often upgrade to the 60-minute Crown Jewels Package ($385), which gives more time for both sisters if you book them together (an additional princess is $275).
