PARTY PLANNING
Planning a children’s birthday party can feel overwhelming—venue hire, entertainment, food, invites, and party bags are just the beginning! We’re here to help make things easier. If you’re considering booking with us, here are some handy tips:
1. Check Availability 📅
Start by filling in our enquiry form or sending us an email. We’ll get back to you with our available dates. We can even provisionally hold a date for you for a short time while you finalize other details.
2. Choosing the Right Venue 🏠
Consider local community or church halls. Some have online booking systems, while others may need a phone call or email.
When choosing a venue, think about:
-
Size and space for play areas.
-
Easy access for unloading and loading equipment.
-
Kitchen facilities and parking options.
-
🚚 Important Note: We only deliver to ground floor venues and need easy van access for unloading and packing away.
3. Party Timings ⏰
Many parents are choosing party times outside traditional meal slots like 10am–12pm or 2pm–4pm. This saves time, money, and reduces food waste! It also saves on wasted sandwiches and kids only eating the wotsits!
⏱️ Setup & Pack Away: We need one hour before and after your party to set up and pack away our equipment. Please keep this in mind when booking your venue.
4. Securing Your Booking 🔒
Once you’ve confirmed your venue, let us know! We’ll then:
-
Request a non-refundable deposit.
-
Send you a link to our online booking form.
-
Make sure you’re happy with our Terms & Conditions.
5. Final Payment 💳
A few weeks before your event, we’ll confirm all the details and provide a final invoice, including:
-
Your chosen party package.
-
Any extras you’ve added.
-
The delivery fee.
6. Party Day! 🎈
On the big day, we’ll:
-
Meet you at the venue at the agreed time to set up.
-
Provide a verbal risk assessment once everything’s ready.
-
Return after the party to pack away, leaving you to enjoy the day stress-free!
Other Things to Consider... 💡
-
Activities & Entertainment: Sometimes, less is more! Too many activities can be overstimulating.
-
Setup & Pack Away: It’s easier without the birthday child (or siblings) around. If possible, divide and conquer with another adult!
-
Decorations: Check if your venue allows them and if any restrictions apply.
-
Nap Times: Plan around your little one’s routine to avoid meltdowns.
-
Capturing Memories: Assign a family member or friend to take photos and videos of the special moments.
-
Music: Ensure your venue has a music license if you plan to play tunes.
-
Party Bags: Classic goody bags, a small book, themed toys (like a toy car), and, of course, a slice of cake are always a hit!
