How do I book a party?
When you have chosen a date and a venue (this doesn't need to be finalised), contact me using the CONTACT form. I will reply to your enquiry as quickly as I can, and arrange to call to discuss in more detail what you would like at your party, (themes, particular games or crafts )and any questions you may have about the service PartyEase provides. I will then email a confirmation form, where you choose your package and provide me with more details and a non-returnable £30 deposit, which is used to secure your party date. I ask that the form is returned, with the deposit, within 7 days. Then what happens? When your party is confirmed, I will contact you a few weeks before the party to confirm arrangements in more detail. I will then talk to you a few days before the party to let you know what I have planned, confirm final numbers, and chat through any last minute concerns or questions you may have. You are welcome to call or email me at any point during the party planning process, and I will reply and chat through as much as you need. I am also happy to arrange to meet you in person if you would like to. On the day, I will arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes before the party to set up my resources, and to help however I can. I greet the children, introduce myself to them and direct them to a settling in activity, before starting the games. After the party, I will stay for 30 minutes, packing up my resources and helping with the clearing up. What do I need to do? 1) Book your venue - this may be a local hall, school or even your house/garden. 2) Notify me of where the party is. (My charges include travel within a 10 mile radius of Portishead, for parties further afield, a small amount will be added to cover fuel costs.) 3) Send out your invitations. 4) Organise your party food. I do not offer food as part of my service, but I am happy to chat through different options to help you work out what you would like to serve. Alternatively - book a party with Partyease, and receive 10% off a children's party buffet with OCCASION CATERING. (Based in Portishead.) 5) Decorate the room with banners, balloons etc - if you would like to. 6) Provide a cup of tea for any parents who may stay. (It really is appreciated.) I like 7-10 days notice of final numbers. This allows me to make sure I have enough resources for everyone. If you are ordering the so-sublime party gifts, I also require a list of every child's name, to allow for the books to be personalised, and also which design you would like. I'd like to use PartyEase, but I also want an entertainer. I'm fine with that! My packages are based on a 2 hour booking, but if you only want me for an hour, then let's chat and work out how we can do this. (I may ask to stay and watch though...) What do you need at the venue? I travel light, and have very few requirements. So long as there is an electric socket or two, I can provide everything else. (I would love a cup of tea while the children have their party food though!) What do you provide? I provide the following.
What should I do during the party? Hopefully you will be able to relax and join in the fun, with your son/daughter. However, You are responsible for the children at the party. You must be present at the venue at all times. There may be some games where I require adult help. (Nothing demanding, maybe playing a part in a team game with a small group of children, or helping to pop pass the parcel wrappings in a bin bag...) As time for the party tea approaches, I will ask you to put crayons and stickers in a bag, so you can use the decorated table cloth for the food. You will also need to make sure that all the children are collected by the correct adult at the end of the party, and over-see the handing out of party bags. Those who have used PartyEase Portishead have mentioned what a relaxed time they have had, and how they have been able to enjoy the party with their child. |
