ARRIVAL TIME
Arrival time for you to do any set-up is 15-20 minutes prior to the start of that party. As our parties often times run back-to-back, we do not allow set-up to happen sooner. Our staff will be cleaning-up and setting-up as well. Please note that instructors will not be able to entertain/supervise children during this time. If you bring your children with you for set-up, please make sure you supervise. We have some toys and coloring supplies in the lobby that you're welcome to explore while you wait.
Party guests who arrive early may wait in our lobby; party guest will not be allowed back into the classroom until the time of the party. We ask that guests do not disturb the other classrooms, supply rooms, or office.

AUDIENCE
Parents, grandparents, and friends are welcome to attend as an audience for the party. Although we do not limit our adult audience, our building square footage is not limitless. Usually, we tell families that any more than 20 grown-ups in attendance at Liberty or 40 grown-ups in attendance at Platte Woods and the room is going to feel very crowded.
We expect our adult to be as well-behaved as our young artists. Our instructors will be leading 12-24 artists through a series of art activities so we ask that you help us by keeping adult conversations to times when we are not activity instructing.

ATTENDANCE & GUEST COUNTS
Each party package has a maximum size. Adhering to the maximum number of party participants is the responsiblity of the host family. If you exceed the maximum set by your party package, it is not the Orange Easel instructor's responsibility to manage the excess guests. The party host will need to select the guests who get to participate and ask the remaining guests to either join the audience or share an art station. Violation of this policy results in a $100 fee.

CHANGING PARTY PACKAGES
In most cases, we cannot change party packages once the party has been booked and a deposit has been paid. It doesn't hurt to ask though. We'll do our best but we order party supplies based on the parties scheduled!

FOOD
You are welcome to bring any treats you would like for your guests to enjoy after the art part of the party is over. In our experience, simpler is better. Guests are responsible for paper products, serving and eating utensils, candles, etc.
We have two rules regarding food:
1. All food is served/enjoyed AFTER the art activites have ended and are cleaned-up.
2. All food is enjoyed at the tables. Not in our lounge areas.
You will only have about 15 minutes to share treats. If you wish to do both food (such as pizza) and dessert, please let us know so we can shorten our art lesson to accommadate the extra time for food.

PARENT DROP-OFF
Parents who are staying during the party, may either join us in the classroom or wait in the lobby. We do allow parents to drop-off as long as their artists can follow direction well enough to ensure that they are safe, the people around them are safe, and our studio is well cared-for.
