PLANNING A PARTY?

-Choose a theme
-Select a date
-Decide on entertainment (Entertainers book a year in advance for corporate events so book the entertainer before
the location
-Decide on a location (PLANNING A PARTY AT THE PARK-HAVE A BACK UP PLAN FOR RAIN!!!!) We need to
know your back up plan or your deposit will not be returned

4 weeks before your party
-Purchase or make your invitations
-Plan activities
Mail invitations 2-3 weeks before the party and make a RSVP DEADLINE
Include:who,when,what,why,&where
Thank you's no later than 4 weeks

2 weeks before your party
-purchase supplies needed
-plan a menu
-mail invites

RSVP's how to make sure your guests do RSVP write on the invite. ( You must RSVP.Special gifts will be given to
those that RSVP. ) Sounds kinda mean but it works. People need to understand you need to know ahead of time.
If making up goody bags make sure you have at least 3 spares for those that do not RSVP.

The day before the party
Decorate your home if that is where you are having it
Last minute clean up and childproof your home
Have your cake ready!
Set out plates,cups,napkins,ect...
Have your camera ready and batteries for the video camera charged
Candles ready
If having a party away from home remember the lighter or matches
Goody bags ready if you are passing them
Have bandaids ready.

The day of the party
Put pets away to avoid them acting out of sorts due to all the strangers in the home.

If you hire an entertainer to do a show put away the toys and the video games before the party starts.

PARTY TIPS

Have a helper! For every 10 kids=2 adults

If the children are getting dropped off have parents leave a contact number in case of a emergency. ALSO: On
contact sheet ask them if the child has food allergies or health risks such as asthma. If so they need to leave
medication.

Note: During the face painting time the children should have something to do while they wait. Face Painting is
a very serious activity especially when painting around the eyes. The entertainer must concentrate on the face
being painted.

Pinata's-Great outdoors or in basements
You no longer need to hit a pinata. Just pull the right string to open the pinata.

Hot potato is much safer to play than musical chairs and kids love the game. Give a prize to each child as they
are taken out of the game. Have a large prize or pick two for the winner.

Pin the tail on the donkey or nose on the clown. You can get creative and draw your own game to match your
theme! USE FUNNY MASKS! Have a few different masks and pull them out of a bag that the kids cannot see!

Make a list of activities. You may not have time for everything and that is ok. It is better to plan too much than
not enough. Children have short attention spans.

Check out oriental trading co. for great craft ideas and prizes!

Small kids enjoy finger foods

LOCATION IDEAS:
Choose a location that matches the theme OR have at home

During gift time...
Have coloring pages or something for the young guests
Have a helper to write down gift and who gave the gift

Having a party at a park?
Tis the season for RAIN
-Have a back up plan for rain. We require you to have a back up
plan on the contract.
-Pack sunscreen,bandaids,bug spray, & bug candle for evening
parties
-If it is a windy day forget the streamers,table clothes, and balloons.
You will waste time and only add stress battling the elements that
are working against you. No bubbles on a windy day. Face painting
and Glitter Tattoos must be sheltered from the wind. (Hair gets in
the way and glitter could get in the eyes for glitter tattoos)

Can we save a rained out party?
YES
Will we work on a rainy day outside?
As long as it does not put the guests at risk. Severe thunderstorm
warnings or Tornado warnings. WE ALL MUST HAVE SHELTER
FROM THE RAIN.
Have we worked at parties that seemed to be rained out?
6 in 11 years and they all seemed to be well entertained

In order to serve you to the best of our ability you MUST let us know on the high
end how many guest we will be serving so that way we will be prepared.
Adults and children to be served. Thank you!
NOTE: Starting January 1st 2012 for all NEW customers. Due to our
family time at church we will not book before 1:00 P.M. as a non-clown or
2:30 P.M. as a clown on Sundays.

NOTE: I LOVE
FACE PAINTING
BUT FACE
PAINTING IS NOT
ENTERTAINMENT
IT IS A ACTIVITY
AT YOUR PARTY.
WHICH MEANS
WHILE I AM
PAINTING ONE
PERSON THE
OTHER KIDS
NEED YOUR
ENTERTAINMENT.
OTHERWISE
YOU WILL HAVE A
PARTY THAT IS
OUT OF
CONTROL.
SPEED PER FACE
PAINT IS 2-5
MINUTES PER
CHILD
. 10 kids could take
the whole hour.
