How far in advance do I need to book a party?
Please book parties as far in advance as possible to ensure that you can have your party on the date and time you want. We suggest booking 4-6 weeks in advance if possible. We will accommodate shorter timeframes as we are able.
 

Why is a deposit required to book a party and is it refundable if we change our mind?
A signed contract and a $100 non-refundable deposit are required to secure your party theme for the date and time you request. The deposit is non-refundable since we will turn away other business to hold that date for you. We will gladly work with you to reschedule a party if you need to change the date.
 

Is the birthday child included in the count for the party?
Yes – the birthday child is counted as one of the 8 children.
 

What if a child cannot attend the party at the last minute? Do I still pay for that child? Is there a maximum number of children that can attend?
Party packages are charged a base price for up to 8 children; even if you do not have 8 children attend you still pay the base price for the party. A final headcount of children to attend the party is due 5 days prior to the party date. Because activities and party favors will be planned for that total that is the headcount you will be billed for even if fewer children actually attend the party.  Most party themes can support up to 12 guests. If Kids, Candles & Giggles is hosting your party and there are more than 12 guests, then a second party host is mandatory and there is a $50 fee for that second party host.
 

Do the kids get to take anything home?
Some themes include costumes for the kids to wear during the party, but they do not take these costumes home. We are unique though in that every party theme includes quality party favors for your guests as opposed to stickers and candy.  Kids, Candles & Giggles believes your guests should have deluxe party favors that they can add to their dress-up collection at home so they can continue the fantasy even when the party is over. Party favor examples include: hats, jewelry, swords, wands, lip gloss, etc.
 

Why is there a $500 security deposit and what happens to that check?
Kids, Candles & Giggles has invested in the very best props, decorations, costumes and tableware in order to make your child’s party very special. A $500 security deposit is required prior to the party. That check is held during the party and returned to you when all of Kids, Candles & Giggles assets are returned in good condition. If Kids, Candles & Giggles property is damaged during the party you will be charged the replacement cost for those items. Please treat our things gently.
 

What do I do if a child won’t participate in party activities?
Some children may be shy and may prefer to watch rather than join in some activities. If you have a hosted party, the host will gently encourage that child to join in the fun or may simply ask that child if they want to assist her. We cannot guarantee that every child will participate and we will not pressure them to do so because we do not want to make the child uncomfortable.
 

What if a child is misbehaving?
The party hostess will be busy leading the children through activities during the party and cannot be responsible for children that are misbehaving. The hostess will encourage proper behavior but a parent may be asked to step in and handle a child that is a problem so the hostess can continue attending to the other children.
 

Do you accept credit cards?
We do not accept credit cards at this time, but payment can be made with cash, check or money order. There is a $35 charge for a check returned with Non-Sufficient Funds. Payment must be made in full before the start of the party.
 

What area do you serve?
We serve the Kansas City metropolitan area. There is no travel charge for one-way trips within a 25 mile radius of View High Drive and 470 Highway. There is a $.75/mile for every mile over 25 miles.
