| Frequently Asked Questions about The Party Savers Parties |
1. For what ages of children do you plan and lead parties?
Most our children's parties are suited for children ages 3-11. However, we can customize a theme for younger children whether you are wanting a 1st birthday party or a 13th birthday party.
2. How far in advance do I need to reserve my party date?
It is best to reserve your date as far in advance as possible. We generally reserve dates as much as 6-8 weeks in advance. However, if you call us one week in advance and your preferred date and time is available, we are happy to reserve it for you!
3. How long are your parties?
We like to give you a party time from beginning to end including time for your guests to eat. So in considering that the party generally lasts 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
4. Where do you hold the party?
We bring the party to you! Our parties are in the convenience of your home or reserved venue, such as a community center, country club party room or park district. If you need help finding a venue we are more than happy to help with that. We do offer some hall rentals on our "extras" page.
5. How many staff members will come to my party?
Depending on the child's age, the type of party, and experience of the staff, we will send 1 staff member for every 8-15 children for a full-service package. We send 1 staff member with our characters.
6. Is tipping appropriate?
Gratuity is always appreciated and our staff does appreciate tips if they do a great job for you.
7. How much time do you need to set up and clean up?
We generally arrive 1- 1 ½ hours prior to set up and decorate for your party. Clean up takes us 15-30 minutes.
8. What do I need to do before you arrive to set up for the party?
Just prepare your party room-clear out breakables in any area that your party guests will be playing, clear out any furniture that you don't want the children to be around. We'll take care of the rest! You don't need to worry about anything during the event-we do it all for you!
9. I don't see the theme my child wants, can you customize a party?
We are happy to plan a custom party around any theme or event. We'll ask you some questions and come up with some great ideas!
10. What is the difference between your Garnet, Ruby and Diamond Packages?
The difference between them is the following: The Garnet packages may not offer full costumes, rather accessories to go with the theme. There also may not be as large of selection of decorations for a Garnet theme. Ruby is a step up, the costumes will be more complete outfits and the decorations will also be a larger variaty. The Diamond Packages offer full array of costumes or extras to go with your theme, along with lots of extra decorations, and top of the line goodie bags.
11. How much does a party with The Party Savers cost?
Our Garnet parties for 12 children start at $250.00, this includes the cake, hand-made invitations, thank you cards, goodie bags, decorations, balloon bouquet, games and or activities and dress up items.
12. Do you require a minimum guests?
We do have a minimum of 6 children, that can include the birthday child. The price will be quoted accordingly.
13. What about Food and Beverage?
If your party includes dress-up items, we ask that these items be set aside while eating. The Party Savers does not bring any food or drink to any party unless you have ordered through our caterer (information available on the "extras" page). It is up to you to provide any food, drink you wish to serve along with plates and utensils. If you choose to order through our caterer plates and utensils are provided. We can also bring them for you for a $25.00 charge.
14. Do you have Tables and Chairs?
Please take into account how large your home/backyard is, bad weather conditions (if your party is held outside), seating for all guests, etc. It is preferable for all guest to be able to sit around one large table to eat cake, and possibly do a craft. You might take this into account when deciding how many guests to invite.
We ask that you provide 1-3 tables based on your theme.
1. A gift table for presents and goodie bags.
2. A table for crafts if applicable.
3. A table for applying make-up or face paint.
A kitchen and/or dining room table will work for most parties: however if you do not have a table big enough to accommodate all your guests, we do have tables and chairs available for rental.
15. Does The Party Savers offer any other services?
If you want to host the event yourself The Party Savers also offers a complete rental party package with all of our parties delivered to you! We also have an online party store you can purchase items from.
16. Delivery and Return (self-hosted rental only)
A delivery day will be set up 1-2 days prior to your party. Please allow a few minutes to go over the games and set-up. We will pick up the rental items the day after your party or, if it is a weekend, the following Monday after your party. Make sure you have extra help at your party, a spouse, friend, or older sibling can be very helpful.
17. What is included in the Adult theme parties, Baby/Bridal Showers and Sweet 16s?
