Questions parents ask
Everything you need to know about booking Once Upon a Stuffie for your next party or event. Don’t see your question? Send us a note, we’re happy to help!
Booking & Payments
Is a deposit required to book?
Yes! A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your party date and time. Your card won’t be charged when you send your booking request. Once we confirm your date and time, your deposit is charged. The remaining balance is due 7 days before your party, and we’ll text you a payment link for it. Online bookings need at least 7 days’ notice.
When do I need to confirm my final guest count?
Your final guest count is due at least 7 days before your party. That gives us time to prepare everything for your celebration! Extra guests may be added based on availability and are $38 each.
What happens if I need to change my party date or time?
Send us a note through the contact form or email onceuponastuffie@gmail.com as soon as you can. You can reschedule one time, and your deposit moves to your new date, as long as you let us know at least 7 days before your party. New dates depend on availability.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that things come up! Deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel, any payments you’ve made become a one-time credit toward a future Once Upon a Stuffie party, based on availability. If we ever have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund of everything you’ve paid, or you can reschedule if you prefer.
What if I have fewer than 8 guests?
No problem! Our packages are designed for up to 8 guests, and you’re welcome to celebrate with fewer. The package price stays the same no matter how many guests attend.
The Party
What ages are your parties appropriate for?
We recommend our workshops for children ages 3 and up. Some materials have small parts that can be a choking hazard for children under 3, so younger kids need direct help and supervision from an adult.
How long does a typical party last?
The Starter party is 60 minutes and the Deluxe party is 90 minutes. We also need about 30 minutes to set up before and 30 minutes to clean up after, so plan for about 2 hours on site for Starter and 2.5 hours for Deluxe.
Do parents need to stay during the party?
Yes. A responsible adult must stay for the whole party. Our friendly attendants guide guests through the stuffie making, but they don’t provide childcare or supervise children on their own.
Location & Setup
Is there a travel fee?
We’re based in Orlando, Florida, and travel within 20 miles of ZIP code 32837 is included. Events farther away may have a travel fee. Send us your event location and we’ll give you a quote.
Do you provide tables and chairs?
We ask the party host to provide tables and chairs for all participants. We bring the workshop supplies and handle setup and cleanup of our activity area, so you can enjoy the celebration!
Can you host parties indoors or outdoors?
Absolutely! Outdoor parties need a covered, shaded area to protect guests and supplies. If there’s rain or severe weather, an indoor backup location is required so everyone can enjoy the party safely.
Other Events
Can you do large groups or school events?
Yes! Along with birthday parties, we love bringing the workshop to schools, daycares, corporate events, community gatherings, and other special occasions. Tap Inquire on a package above or send us a note with your event details, estimated guest count, and location, and we’ll put together a custom quote.
