How does this party planning thing work anyway?One of the questions I get the most is how the process works when planning a party with me. I want to take a few minutes and break it all down for you. I want to make this as stress-free for you as possible. So sit back, relax, and let me take the reins as I go over how this whole party planning thing works. 1. Give me the Event date and a ThemeThe most important thing I need to know right away is when you want to have your party. This way I can go over my availability with you and let you know if I am free to host or set up that day. Giving me a theme is also super helpful in the planning process. If you aren't sure of a theme, I can help you come up with one. 2. Pick a Party PackageMy Party Packages page lists some package options and additional services I provide with estimated prices (not including sale tax). Browse through this and try to select what you want. This gives me a better idea of what ideas I need to gather and what I need to provide for your event. If you aren't seeing what you want, just send me a message and I can customize a package for you based on what you need. 3. Make your ChoicesAfter you have given me a date, a theme, and told me what services you want, I will start making a document of party plan options for you. During this time, I will keep in contact with you and will finish the plan within 2-5 business days. I will e-mail you the document when I am done and you can peruse it at your convenience and decide which decor, games and activities you want to choose. 4. Meet and sign ContractAfter you have made your choices, I will meet with you in person so we can go over the details of your party. I love being able to sit down with people and having a one-on-one conversation. I find that can get lost in this busy technological world we live in. I will go over any concerns you have, take notes of what you want, and answer questions. At this time, I will go over the contract with you and if you decide to use me to plan your party, you can sign the contract. 50% of the total will be due upon signing the contract, or you can choose to pay in full. This amount is non-refundable. If you pay half, the remaining amount will be due within 1 business day before your event. I accept cash, checks, and Paypal at this time. 5. Putting it into ActionThen comes the real fun; getting to put the plans into action. I will start gathering decor items, making games and activities etc. for your party. You can be as involved in this process as you want. I can set up times for you to come shopping with me or I can do it alone. Along the way, I will send you updates of my progress. This way you know for sure your party is being worked on and you get to have a sneak peek :) 6. It's Party Time!On the date of your party, if I am setting up, I will arrive at least one hour prior to your event at the event location. If I am not setting up for your party, I will get you the materials and directions for setting up 1-3 days before your party (unless other arrangements are made). I will collect some of the materials and games after the party is over either when I clean up if I am doing that, or will gather it a couple of days later. I will provide you a box to keep my items in. I also ask that you allow a small sign to be put out on one of the tables advertising my business, along with some of my business cards. I like to have pictures as well to put on my website (mainly of the decor and I don't have to get kids' faces). I will never put names or addresses on the pictures. A consent form will be signed if you allow me to take pictures at your party. What are you Waiting for? Book Today!There you have it; the steps for a successful party from A.M.'s Party Palooza.
