Party Etiquette – Why do we only offer set party times?

Why Absolutely Amazing Parties Offers Two Party Slots on Weekends

1. Between the hours of 10:00 and 13:00
2. Between the hours of 15:00 and 18:00

At Absolutely Amazing Parties, we understand that planning the perfect celebration involves making choices that suit both hosts and guests. Here are some reasons behind our decision to offer two party slots on weekends:

1. Peak Time for Parties:

• As party entertainers, our prime time for celebrations is the weekend. Offering two party slots allows us to maximise the number of parties we can host in two days, ensuring our business remains viable.

2. Travel Considerations:

• Covering the East Midlands means our team needs sufficient time for setup, pack-down, and comfortable travel between parties. Allowing a minimum of 30 minutes for setup and pack-down, along with travel time, ensures a smooth experience for both our team and our clients.

3. Fairness to Guests:

• Children lead busy lives, and scheduling parties in the morning or afternoon allows guests to accommodate other social engagements and hobbies on the same day. It’s a considerate approach to ensure everyone can participate in the celebration.

4. Fitting in with Eating Times:

• By scheduling parties in the morning or afternoon, we align with typical eating times, eliminating the need for parents to wonder whether to feed their children before the party. Morning parties serve food around noon, while afternoon parties offer refreshments around 4 pm, preventing food waste at odd hours.

5. Choosing the Right Slot:

• For children aged 3, the choice between morning and afternoon depends on their nap schedule. For 4-year-olds, mornings are often more suitable. Children aged 5 and above can enjoy either slot.

6. Small Team Dynamics:

• As a small team, hosting two parties a day allows us to fulfill the numerous requests we receive. This approach ensures that we can continue to bring joy and magic to celebrations while maintaining a high level of service.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to creating enchanting memories at your celebrations!

Thanks very much,
