and Tipping: Gratuity is at your discretion and will
not be included on your invoice, but it will be much appreciated
by the staff that serves you.
What
happens if a guest arrives late? Because our parties
are based on a schedule, they work best when all guests arrive
on time. Those guests coming late may join the party at whatever
point it has progressed to. FOR EXAMPLE: The group has already
completed the make-up session and has moved on to the dress up,
the late guest must skip the make-up and join in the dress up.
This is necessary in order to provide the least amount of disruption
to the party, and your understanding is appreciated.
Can
parents of the guests stay for the party? This is a high-energy
party with make-up, dress-up, photo taking, crafts, and lots of
movement. If there is ample room without interference we welcome
an audience.
Who
takes care of a guest if they become ill, are a behavior problem,
or do not want to participate? Guests who do not wish
to participate will need to be attended to by you. We are not
responsible for the behavior of the guests. Fairytale Royalteas
is responsible for hosting your party and engaging the guests
in constant activity. Good behavior is always promoted, but it
is your responsibility to monitor and take charge if a child is
not behaving, becomes ill, or does not wish to participate.
Can
boys attend the party? We welcome boys at our parties.
We have knight costumes and temporary tatoos especially for the
boys.
Can
siblings of the guests stay? All guests under three years
of age must be supervised. We provide many accessories that contain
small parts at our parties and they may not be appropriate for
very small guests. Please remember that our party packages cover
only the guest of honor and their guests. Unfortunately, we will
not be able to accommodate unexpected guests or siblings of guests,
as we prepare our parties based on the final head count given
to us prior to the party. Siblings (of any age), who are not guests
of the birthday child, will not be permitted to use any equipment.
Food
and Beverages, other than Fairytale Royalteas items and the birthday
cake. Because accidents sometimes happen, we ask that
no food or beverages are served while the children are in dress-up
clothes.
If
a child does not show up, do I still pay for that child?
Please remember, you will be charged for the final head count
you gave prior to the party.
Where
is the party held? Parties are typically held in your
home or the venue of your choice.
