Date
Once a date has been chosen,
the next two important considerations is location
and entertainment. If you are planning to hire an
entertainer you need to contact them soon to get
dates of availability.
If space is at a minimum, it
may be preferable to rent a hall or room. Here in
the mid-west, outdoor parties are not recommended.
The weather is too unpredictable and often too
windy. Paper plates and cups blowing off a table
takes away from the fun. A sudden storm has ruined
many parties! Additional
fees are charged for parties performed outside.
Schools
Parties can be done at school
only with written permission from the teacher and
administrator.
Restaurants
Rinky Dink does not do birthday parties at
restaurants unless
the party will be in a private room. The show and
party is for you and your guests, not the entire
restaurant.
The best ages for booking
entertainment explained on the Birthday
Party Page, such as a clown is from four to
eight years old.
Invitations should be sent out
three weeks in advance. The minimum should be no
more than two weeks prior to the party. They should
have clear information which includes: Who, what,
why, when, and where. Make sure the time and date
are emphasized and CLEAR
DIRECTIONS to the
party. Be sure to put R.S.V.P. on the invitation so
you will have an idea who and how many are coming.
Planning ahead makes the party run much smoother
and gives your child something to look forward to.
Refreshments can be simple
from cake and punch to a full meal. This really
depends upon your budget and personal tastes
The fewer distractions the
better!!!
1.
The Performance Area is usually best indoors with at least a
5’ x 5’ cleared area to be used for the
“stage." The performer needs a wall
space behind him/her and no one sitting
to the sides. If your party must be held outside,
please position audience and performer so sun is
not in anyone’s eyes.
2.
Adults in the room are encouraged to join
in the fun! (Should they prefer to chat, please
provide another room for them)
3.
The Refreshments are to be served after the
entertainment NOT during the show. (See “b”
below)
for the smoothest running
party
Your party should not last
over two hours!
4.
IMPORTANT:Your party time starts when your
entertainer arrives at your party! The entertainer's obligation will be
completed as scheduled regardless of delays. Should
there be delays because of “no shows,”
late arrivals, or change of party location due to
bad weather, etc., this is your responsibility.
Often, there are other bookings after yours and the
entertainer must be there on time.
Because weekends are quite
busy, there is a substantial discount in price for
parties held Monday through Thursday.
For Rinky Dink’s regular
comedy party or the balloon parties the number of
guests should be limited to 15. There will be an
additional charge of $1.00 per child beyond fifteen
(15).
We have reserved this date and
this time for you. We will turn down all other work
for that time period. Therefore a written, signed
contract and deposit is required! A deposit of 50%
of the total fee (performance fee plus travel) is
required to hold your date. You will be sent the
contract along with a return envelope. When the
deposit is received, your date will be held.
The deposit is to be mailed
along with the signed contract. The balance of the
fee must be received five (5) days prior to the
booking date.You may include the full payment with
the contract if you choose.
It is important that you
return the contract immediately! The deposit is the only assurance that the
chosen date will be held for you.
Cancellation Policy
Upon receipt of the deposit,
this date and time will be reserved for you.
We will turn down all other work for that time
period. The deposit is to hold this time and date
for you. Because this time and date has been
reserved for only you, the deposit cannot be
returned except in dire cases. Please let me know
your reason and deposit return will be taken under
consideration.
If something unforeseen should
occur on our account such as flat tire, traffic
accident, etc., no charge will be made. The deposit
will be returned and we will give you a discount
toward a party sometime in the future (since this
party will have to go on without us). We will
notify you as soon as possible.
If these policies and
suggestions are followed, your party should be one
the best parties ever! I look forward to serving
you!
Round travel outside the
greater Newton, Kansas area is required. With
unpredictable gas pricing, travel expenses will be
determined at the time of booking.
