Just thinking....even though it is $18 per child which includes everything for the kids, should we all chip in a couple extra dollars for pizza for us? I know not all the kids are going to eat the pizza but we may want to have them order an extra pie or 2 for the adults (especially since sometimes dad's come too). Also, what about tipping the 2 party attendants? They do entertain the kids, set-up and clean-up. I was thinking maybe $20 each or is that cheap? Too much?

So, rather than $18, maybe $24 per person (child)???



That is a bit much for me. That's $48! Chat Icon



Yeah me too!

Although, I thought it was said initially that under 1 are free, but the parents would still pay for them, so couldn't that money go for pizza, etc.?

Ahhhh. Well I probably wouldn't bother asking since there are quite a few under 1. It would be different if there were just one or two KWIM?

I am definetely trying to keep the cost down. It is tought for everyone being it is around the holidays.

I am thinking $4-6 extra per family (I guess I should say). If we are going to tip the girls $20 each ($15 may actually be enough b/c the party is only 1 1/2 hrs.) so that is an extra $1 there. Plus $12 per pizza pie (they probably order 4 pies for the kids, we may need 2 extra depending if dad's come) plus I figured I would pick up a bottles of soda's for the adults.

Crissy, here is a suggestion, have everyone bring soda/chips/cookies. Then people can volunteer to bring stuff instead of upping the price. Plus that puts it on you to go and get it, KWIM?Chat Icon

Ok...so here is my executive decision Chat Icon we should each contribute $3 extra (per family) to go towards the tip, pizza, soda, etc. If I have $$$ left over I will pick up goodies for the kids.

So, if you have 1 child, the total is $21.

If you have 2 childre, the total is $39 ($18 per child + $3 extra for the adult).

I decided on $3 extra per family.

People are more than welcome to bring stuff...but I want to make sure I have enough money at least for the tip and the pizza. I will also make sure to buy the soda and paper goods for the adults we will need. The party place will not provide that stuff for the adults.

Everyone is more than welcome to bring other snacks, cookies, etc. if they want.

I can see charging for anyone who is walking or crawling but a 6 month old can barely even sit up.

I did call and I am waiting to hear back from him. I know he did give us a member rate for the party which is less expensive than the non-member rate so I am not sure how much further he will work with us price wise. From what I gathered, think they usually charge X amount for 15 kids and X amount for each add'l child, where with our party he gave us one rate and divided it by the # of kids so it would be cheaper, KWIM?

As soon as I hear back from him I will let you know! Chat Icon

Ok...so I just spoke to Dominic. And basically he reiterated what I wrote above. Basically he took the party rate and divided it by the amount of kids we are having instead of charging like he normally would. Generally, the way the GTG's work out is regardless of the child's age everyone splits the cost evenly. It is really the only way to do it fairly when you have so many people attending.

He also said we were allowed to use their paper products for the adults. We can order extra pies at $14 per pie. We can bring in our own soda and some extra food if we would like. We can also order a larger cake if we would like so the adults can have some.

Also, if it helps at all I dont think anyone's DC is going to be just sitting around. The 2 party attendants are going to entertain and do an actual party with the kids. It's not going to be just an open play like some of the past GTG's.
