ranging from restaurant, hotel to recreation center
Wait a minutes! Before you make out your mind and sign for any kid party location, take a look at the following tips to assist you in making a right choice.
Party logistics
You have to take into consideration of the kid party logistic when selecting a kid party place.
It will be difficult for you to move your kid party foods and
game materials to the kid birthday party location, if the party location is very out of the way.
I am sure most of the parents will be thrilled if they have to drive for more than forty five minutes to reach
the kid party place. However, if you really need to choose such a place for certain reason than is better to provide transport to pick out your guests and thus try not to invite too many of them.
Visit kid party places and meet the party staffs
Make sure that you visit kid party locations under your consideration before you make a selection.
A particular place like pizzeria might look cool and perfect overall but the place that they used to conduct
birthday party might be at the basement, you never know. You have to also check their facilities make sure that the actual party place is clean, enough space for game, safe for kid and also check where they place the party food.
It is also important to meet the party staffs make sure that they are not grouchy, helpless or creepy towards you.
If they are so, don’t aspect that they will be charming towards your little guests.
Find out their charges
You have to find out how they charge. Some place charge by per head, some by flat rate for a number of head count and charge extra for each additional head count. Remember to ask them when must you confirm the booking. To our opinion it is always better to give more head count than you intend to invite, pay a bit more for a few extras rather than last minutes cancellation or most embarrass of all not enough to accommodate when the guests arrived.
What is included in the package
Some places only include the used of the facilities while some like Macdonald fast food restaurant include everything from party hosting to
Party games, party decoration, party foods and party favor. If that is the case asked them about
the games that they play see whether it is suitable for your guests, how the cake look like, the party foods
and the favor ? Whether they allowed you to customize anything that you don’t like such a kid party games.

Party place hidden cost
Sniff out any hidden costs by asking questions like do they charge for extra seating or tables, if needed on that day?
Will there be extra charge for parent who choose to stick around or any cleanup fees?
Any things that you can think off to find out the hidden cost.
Event agenda
If the renting of the kid party place included hosting of the kid party, it is better that you asked for a rundown of the party agenda. Thing like what will the children do when they arrived, what are the party games, party foods and party favors.
Privacy of your kid party
Check out whether there will be another party going on same time as your kid party. If so how the staffs control both parties so that each party group feel important and private.
Cancellation policy
Find out and bargain on the deposit that you need to place with them.
If you cancel the booking, what will happen to your deposit? Will the deposit be forfeit or allow to postpone to other date.
What is the latest date that you need to inform them if you want to cancel.
If the party place is an outdoor party, find out whether they have plan B or postpone and do they provide
shelter and umbrellas for the guests.
