How it works
Yes, I am giving you real china, oh my! But don’t worry, it’s ok if there is a minor “oops” or an accident and a plate gets nicked or a teacup gets chipped. I ask that you have the children be careful with the pieces, but not to worry if there is a mishap – tea parties should be FUN. Because accidents do happen, and I really love china, I am continually adding special pieces to my collection. What that means for you – each place setting is unique and you may not get a complete matching set with your rental, I will do my best to keep sets together, but mistakes happen, china breaks and it’s ok – my collection is ever changing. Tea cups and plates are as unique as our children.
Business items
A $50.00 deposit is required to secure your party date. I accept cash, check or Zelle/Quickpay. The deposit will be returned to you after I receive all rental items back. Should you choose to cancel your party, the deposit is non refundable. *Please see below for more information regarding the return of your deposit.
The price is $13.95 per child and a 9% sales tax will be added to your total. Please make sure to include the birthday child in your total. The final count is due 7 days prior to your event. This number cannot be lowered and the final bill will reflect this amount. There is a minimum of 6 guests.
You will be able to pick up all the china and linens 2-3 days before your party to lay things out, practice your set up, etc. Your total bill is due at this time. Scones will be baked fresh within 24 hours of your party, so please make sure you will be able to pick those up on party day. Everything I make is homemade and preservative free, so I try to wait as long as possible to bake.
To receive your full deposit back the following items must be returned within 48 hours of your party:
- Please hand wash and dry the following: large and small plates, tea cups and saucers, tea pots, cream & sugar set and mini spoons. I will rewash and sanitize these.
- Flower centerpieces.
- Tablecloths & napkins – I will launder these, please just place in a large plastic garbage bag to return.
If a significant amount of china has been damaged and is no longer usable, your deposit may not be returned to you in full in order to cover the cost of acquiring new pieces. This will be determined on a case by case basis. As stated above, accidents happen, but reckless use and transport of the items may result in losing your partial or full deposit.
