Securing party bookings
📌 How We Do Bookings Here
This community is about healthy, sustainable bookings — not panic discounting, over-giving, or burning yourself out to stay busy.
With 12 years’ experience in children’s party & experience businesses, this booking structure has consistently worked best and is what guides conversations in this space.
✔️ Core Booking Principles
Immediate deposit always
No deposit = no date held.
Clear terms from the start
Dates, times, deposits, balances, and cancellation policies should never be vague.
Boundaries protect your business
Holding dates, exceptions, and “just this once” discounts usually cost more than they’re worth.
✔️ Early-Booking & % Offers
Early-booking incentives are encouraged when used intentionally, not reactively.
Best practice:
Small, time-limited % offers
Clear expiry dates
Non-refundable deposit paid immediately
Subject to availability
No holding dates
Early-booker offers should reward decisive customers, not attract problems.
✔️ What This Space Is (and Isn’t)
This is:
A supportive, peer-led space
Experience-based advice
Honest conversations about pricing, bookings, customers, and boundaries
This is not:
Hustle culture
Pressure to underprice
Comparison or shaming
Coaching or selling to each other
✔️ Share What Works (and What Doesn’t)
Please feel free to:
Ask booking questions
Share scripts and policies
Talk through tricky customer situations
Be honest about what you’re navigating
We’re here to help each other build calmer, better-run businesses.
🤍 Welcome — you’re in the right place.
