WHO MAY I INVITE TO MY CHILD'S PARTY?
If a child is expected to participate in the party in any way, please include them in your total guest count. However, costumes and party activities are designed for children over the age of three as our game props, favors, and prizes may contain small parts that could become a choking hazard. If a child under the age of three is present for the party, his or her participation may not include costumes, favors, game prizes, or a complete table setting. Thank you for understanding our desire to provide a safe and memorable experience for all.
WHERE ARE THE PARTIES HELD?
The party is held in your home or location of your choice. If you would like to reserve a facility, complete kitchen facilities with close proximity to the party area are required.
MAY I HOLD MY PARTY OUTDOORS?
During the winter months, we may host parties (princess, fairy, luau, pirate themes) outdoors providing the table and chairs are protected by the shade of a tree or covered patio, and the temperature doesn't exceed 80 degrees. The yard must be grassy and free of thorny bushes, mud, or standing water. We request that you do not water your lawn the day prior to the party or the morning of the party to protect the costumes. Spa and diva parties must be held indoors.
WHAT ARE THE AGE REQUIREMENTS?
Please refer to each theme for age recommendations.
HOW LONG ARE THE PARTIES?
Our party packages range in length from 1 1/2-2 hours depending on theme and party package chosen. Party hostesses will arrive 60-75 minutes prior to the party time to setup and dress in costume (where applicable).
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL MY PARTY?
If you must cancel your party for any reason, you will receive your full deposit if canceled within 30 days of party date. If you must cancel with less than 30 days' notice, your deposit is non-refundable, but we will be happy to reschedule your party within a six week timeframe from the original party date. Should it be necessary to resend invitations, there will be an additional charge.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS INCLEMENT WEATHER?
In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances on your party date, Frills to Fairytales reserves the right to RESCHEDULE your party. If YOU choose to cancel your party due to inclement weather or illness, please remember our refund policy as outlined above. We will gladly work with you to choose an alternate date for your party, based on availability. In most cases, party activities can be held indoors if the ground/party area is too wet.

Our packages are calculated for parties of 10 children including the birthday child and a maximum of 12 children.
ARE INVITATIONS INCLUDED?
Yes, invitations are always included in our party packages. They are personalized and theme coordinated. In the event additional invitations are necessary, a fee of $3.95 will be charged per invitation.
WHAT SHOULD THE CHILDREN WEAR and WHERE WILL THEY CHANGE?
The client should provide a private changing area, a bedroom is fine, for the children to change into their costumes. Children DO NOT need to wear a leotard or tights. We provide beautiful costumes and accessories to allow the child to look his or her best in costume.
WHEN DO YOU NEED THE FINAL R.S.V.P. COUNT?
Frills to Fairytales will contact you seven (7) days prior to your party to review the guest list to determine the exact headcount for your event. This final guest list is what we will use to plan appropriate quantities of food, favors, prizes, etc.
DO ADULTS STAY DURING THE PARTY?
The parents of birthday child must remain at the party until its conclusion. The parents of invited guests are not required to be in attendance.
WHAT ABOUT SIBLINGS & UNEXPECTED GUESTS?
If a child is expected to participate in the party in any way, please include them in your total guest count. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate unexpected guests or siblings of guests, as we prepare our parties based on the final guest list, which client provides 7 days' prior to the party date.
WHAT HAPPENS IF GUESTS ARRIVE LATE?
Because our parties are based on a full activity 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. This is necessary in order to provide the least amount of disruption to the party. Your understanding is appreciated.
WHO TAKES CARE OF A GUEST IF THEY BECOME ILL, ARE A BEHAVIOR PROBLEM, OR DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE?
The party hostesses are responsible for engaging the children in games and activities. However, we are not responsible for the behavior of the children. We kindly ask you to monitor disruptive behavior accordingly to ensure a positive party experience.
IF THE WEATHER IS NICE, CAN I HAVE MY PARTY OUTDOORS?
Our parties are designed to be held indoors with some outdoor activities, with the exception of our Tropical Luau theme party which can be held entirely outdoors. Typically, the tea party, story time, games, and fashion show are held indoors. If an outdoor party is desired, the outdoor area must be free of dirt, mud, wet grass, or landscaping that could cause damage to our costumes and party supplies. We reserve the right to make this final determination.
PARKING
