Posie's Parties FAQ's

Please read thoroughly!

 

1.

HOW DO I RESERVE A PARTY DATE?

 

Parties are booked on a first come, first serve basis. When a party date and time has been selected, a deposit will be necessary to secure your reservation. The deposit is non-refundable and must be received within 7 days of booking your party date and time. The balance will be due on the day of your party. 

Booking parties at least 4-6 weeks in advance is highly suggested
.  Posie is happy to book several months in advance if you desire.

 

2.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

 

At this time, Paypal (instant payment), checks, cash and money orders are accepted for deposits.   Cash is HIGHLY preferred for balance due at the close of your party.

 

3.

WHERE ARE THE PARTIES HELD?

 

Posie comes to your home or chosen party facility, such as your local community center, public park, etc.   Posie will not consider visiting parties at a loud, crowded venue such as Chuck E Cheese, etc.  Take into consideration any noise distractions such as a busy road, construction, etc when planning an outdoor party.

 

4.

WHAT IS THIS "PIXIE" VISIT?

 

Posie created the special one-on-one visit for children who perhaps are new to a neighborhood and don't have many playmates, or to celebrate some sort of milestone for the child such as overcoming thumbsucking or bedwetting, first day of Kindergarten or any other task that is deemed special enough for a celebration.   The Pixie Visit is special and sweet, allowing Posie to completely focus on your child and to lavish beautiful handmade costumes and gifts upon her (to keep!)  Pixie Visits are for one child to enjoy but other children can join in the fun for a fee.

 

5.

WHAT AGES ARE YOUR PARTIES FOR?

 

Parties are for children ages 3 and up. For safety reasons, children under 3 will not be permitted to take part unless closely supervised by an adult. Some props and accessories are not suitable for children under 3.

 

6.

HOW LONG ARE THE PARTIES?

 

The length of your party depends on the party package you choose and the age and number of  children.  Posie is responsible for the time stated in the package you choose.  This time is an approximation, some parties run a little long.  However, your invitation can state whatever times you would like, if you plan to have additional activities after Posie's program is complete.

 

7.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL MY PARTY?

 

Once a deposit has been paid, parties may only be postponed. Posie will gladly work with you to find an alternate party date for your consideration, based on availability. If you choose to cancel our services for ANY reason, your deposit is non-refundable.

 

8.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS INCLEMENT WEATHER OR THERE IS AN ILLNESS?

 

In the case of severe weather or illness, Posie reserves the right to RESCHEDULE your party. If YOU choose to cancel your party and/or the services of Posie the Fairy at that time, please remember, your deposit is non-refundable. If the guest of honor becomes ill, Posie will gladly work with you to choose an alternate date for your party, based on availability.

 

9.

DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM / MAXIMUM ATTENDANCE?

 

Parties may be scheduled for up to 8 or more children. There is no minimum attendance. The party package is designed for 8 children. Less than 8 may attend, but you are still charged the package price. Posie has entertained parties of 23 children on her own (with some help from the guest of honor's and guest's parents).  Parties with less children are certainly easier to handle.

 

10.

ARE INVITATIONS INCLUDED?

 

Sorry, invitations are not included at this time.

 

11.

WHAT SHOULD THE CHILDREN WEAR?

 

Girls are encouraged to dress their "fairy best", in their favorite princess, fairy or ballet costume.  Remember that Posie provides hand crafted wings and crowns to enhance a costume or dress up simple jeans and tees.  Posie does make tutus which may be purchased for an additional fee per child.  

Boys may dress however they wish as they will be given dragon wings and horns.  They may wear their favorite superhero, pirate or other fun getup to join in the festive spirit.

 

12.

WILL THERE BE MAKE-UP/FACEPAINTING?

 

All children will have their face or hand painted (depending on the comfort level of the child).  Posie only uses paints made for the skin which wash off easily with soap and water.  Blush, cosmetic grade glitter and sometimes sparkly stones affixed with eyelash glue are used to create Fairy Makeovers.  

Fairy Makeovers are offered only to parties for 8 children or less.  Fairy Makeovers take time, if you wish to have Complete Fairy Makeovers for each child in a larger party, additional fees apply.  Please make sure that parents are aware that there will be facepainting in case of allergies/personal preference.  

Remember that Posie needs a shaded (if outside) low-traffic area to perform the facepainting.

 

13.

WHEN DO YOU NEED THE FINAL R.S.V.P. COUNT?

 

You will need to contact Posie at least 7 days prior to your party to review the R.S.V.P.’s that you have received, and to determine the exact headcount for your event.
