All of the information you need to know before you throw your Absolutely Fabulous Tea Party!

1.  Once you decide to reserve a party date, please complete and return  the contract with your deposit (address 1595 Kimblewick Road, Potomac MD, 20854.

 

2.  Please be sure to send the enclosed list entitled, “Details for the Hostess and Attendees” with your invitations.  This advises parents to inform you, as the hostess, and us should their child have any allergies.  Should you purchase invitations from us, we will send you ample copies of the insert for your convenience.

 

3.  We recommend that you schedule your party at least 4 weeks in advance.

 

4.  We will contact you at least four days prior to your event to review the final number of attendees and obtain the spelling of each child for place cards.  Our final invoice will be based on this final number.  We request that the final payment be made in cash.

 

5.  We arrive 30 minutes prior to the party start time to set up (dress up attire, tea table, craft table, party food).

6.  Kitchen:  We will need to use a small amount of your kitchen counter space and sink for preparation and clean up. 

 

7.  Getting your home ready for the party:  children participate in games, a craft session, beauty session, dress up session and a tea party.  Think about where you would like for these activities to take place in your home (kitchen table, dinning room table, family room, craft session can be held on the floor).  These areas should be clear and free of any obstacles that could potentially cause harm to any of the guests, i.e. large vases, flower pots on floor.  Is there a full-length mirror handy? Children will love to admire themselves as they dress.  Dresses are hung on a door or sturdy curtain rod using a portable “over door” hanger.  So access to a closet or bathroom door during dress up would be helpful as well.

 

8.  Child BehaviorWe promote good behavior amongst children, however we may ask for your assistance if, in the unlikely event, a child may potentially disrupt the party.

 

9.  Cake:  Although we try to make our parties “hassle free” for the hostess, we do ask that the hostess supply the cake (due to the nature of our business) and paper plates for cake only/forks (if our plates are used, they would have to be washed in your home prior to packing). 

 

10.  Boombox.  Please have a portable boombox handy for use.  We usually move between rooms so a portable/carry boombox would be helpful.  If this is not available, please let us know.
