HOW DO I BOOK A PARTY?
Parties are booked on a first come first serve basis. When a party date is confirmed, a deposit of $50.00 is necessary to secure your date. The balance will be due in cash the day of the party. You may also pay via Personal Check, Money Order, Cash or Major Credit Card prior to the party.
AT WHAT TIME CAN I HOLD A PARTY?
Weekend start times for full party packages are:
10am , 11am, 11:30am, 2:30pm , 3pm, 4pm, 5pm or 6pm. (later times are available upon request).
Anytime for 1 hour character entertainment
Weekday during vacation or summer - Please Inquire
Weekday during school - Please Inquire
ARE BOYS WELCOME?
We welcome boys! They can be brave knights at the royal celebrations and Pirates at the Fairy Parties
WHAT DO I NEED TO SUPPLY?
Character entertainment requires a room with an outlet and enough space for all children to hold hands and make a circle. Full party packages require one large table for the craft (no chairs); one small table or for make up or face painting, and table & chairs for all the children to sit when doing a sit-down affair.
WHAT ARE THE AGES YOU ACCOMMODATE?
This depends on the theme. The best ages for most of our themes are for children ages 3-10. Spa parties can accommodate ages 6-15.
WHAT SHOULD THE PARTY ATTENDEES WEAR?
The costumes Bella Princess provides are designed to go directly over the their own clothes, eliminating the need to gets undressed! For the best possible fit and for comfort we suggest wearing form fitting clothing or leotards and swimsuits. However, this is not mandatory.
WHERE IS THE PARTY HELD?
We are a full-service party business. We come directly to you! You name the location and we show up ready to party! Great places outside of the home to think about is community rooms in your local town or you may have it at our NEW LOCATION (Bella's Pad) in Bloomfield NJ or at the Oakeside Mansion in Bloomfield NJ
PARKING:
We will need a spot in your driveway to load and unload our equipment into the house. If it’s not at your home but in another location, please make sure there is a place close to the entrance for us to be able to load and unload. NYC clients will need to cover parking fee.
CAN WE HAVE THE PARTY OUTSIDE?
We don’t recommend for this type of party to fully take place outside. We can do craft and food outside but it is recommended that the coronation and story time be done indoors. We would consider doing an outside party fully if the temperature is not more 79 degrees and there’s either a deck, patio (non-grassy area for the children to sit down at story time). Realize we have beautiful gowns that if we get grass stains on them it will be impossible to remove.
PARTIES IN RESTAURANTS:
The most important thing to take into account when doing a party at a restaurant is to make sure there’s at least a 10x10 area in front of the backdrop for entertainment. The next most important thing is to have an outlet very near the backdrop because of the noise level we will definitely need to use a microphone.
CAN OTHER PARENTS STAY FOR THE PARTY?
This is a high-energy party with make-up, dress-up and movement. If there is ample room without interference we have no problem with an audience. Please just remind the adults to keep the noise level when in the same room as the entertainment.
SUPERVISION:
We are not a daycare service, nor is it our job to discipline your child. We are entertainers and are not responsible for unruly or uncooperative children. We kindly ask that you monitor disruptive behavior and attend to any child who does not want to participate. This will help us to provide the best possible party experience for you and your child.
WHAT TIME SHOULD THE PARTY GUESTS ARRIVE?
Please have them arrive on time. It is crucial that we begin on time so everyone can enjoy the fun. We cannot go back on activities for late comers (example if we are done with face painting and are now in the middle of coronation we cannot stop in the middle of that activity to do face painting for a late comer).
HOW EARLY MUST I CONTACT YOU WITH THE FINAL R.S.V.P. COUNT?
We need to know at least 4 days (or sooner) before the date of the party. Your bill will be based on your final head count (Does not apply to the Character ONLY Parties).
CAN I SERVE FOOD TO THE CHILDREN?
Food can be served before or after the children take off their costumes.
DO YOU DO MAKE-UP?
Yes! Please be aware of this fact. The girls want the make-up to be very outstanding. It is done for children with a child look.
LIABILITY:
Please be advised that Bella Princess Parties assumes no responsibility or liability to accidents or damages caused during your party to your guests or your property. Your party host/entertainer will work to ensure that your home and guests are treated with care; however, liability will lie strictly with the client.
ALLERGIC REACTIONS:
Bella Princess Parties is also not responsible for allergic reactions.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL THE PARTY?
In the event you have to cancel, we will gladly arrange another date for your party as long as respectable notice is given. Please keep in mind that the $50.00 deposit is non-refundable, but can be put toward the cost of another party if held within 90 days of the original party date.
IF A CHILD DOES NOT SHOW, DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT CHILD?
You have up to 72 hours prior to party to make changes to your RSVP list. However, Bella Princess will grant you credit for up to 1 (one) no-show; anything in excess to that will be your responsibility. You will be able to keep the favor for the children that do not attend the party.
WHAT TO DO INCLEMENT WEATHER?
We at Bella Princess are devoted first and foremost to the safety of children. Naturally if the roads are closed or it is unsafe to hold the party we will make arrangements to pick out a new date and time.
HOW MUCH DO I TIP?
The gratuity is not included in the package price but greatly appreciated. We recommend a standard gratuity based on the total party amount of 10% to 20% at your discretion.
