FAQ:
Who caters?
You will do the catering for your party. Many individuals choose to bring snacks from home, have pizza delivered, or select a local food chain for their catering. We generally suggest you keep it simple to maximize your party time. Food and beverages must be kept within the designated area, and no alcoholic beverages are allowed. Liquids must be kept in closed containers. We suggest bottled water, juice boxes, or other contained beverages. Please bring your own cooler and ice. Do not forget your paper plates, silverware, and cups.
What decorations should I bring?
Our party room is already very festive! We suggest two rectangular tablecloths for 6ft. tables and one rectangular tablecloth for an 8ft adult table . If you are planning to light candles for your child’s cake, please remember to bring a lighter or matches.
Please note: decorations are not permitted to be taped, glued, or stapled to walls, cabinets, or furniture. We do not allow any items to be affixed to our walls. No pinatas, confetti, sprinkles, etc. are permitted.
