mapping/getting directions, your location is indeed in an area where travel fees
apply, you will be assessed that travel fee
*WE DO NOT GO TO SOME AREAS:  No Museum area facilities such as
Houston Zoo, Hermann Park, MFAH, Museum of Natural Science, Children's
Museum, etc.  **If you book us for one location and try to change it to one in
this area, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO YOUR PARTY-NO EXCEPTIONS
*TREAT CHARACTERS/ARTISTS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE
TREATED!  Do not let children hit/grab characters, gentle hugging is OK, but
please monitor your children.  Please do not let children hang on the Face      
Painter while she is trying to paint.  This prevents her from doing her best job. Do
not allow children to take our supplies.  We are entertainers & artists, NOT
BABYSITTERS.

*CHOOSE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT START TIME CAREFULLY.  If your
guests have not arrived by the time we have arrived, we will not be able to wait, we
will have to stick with the originally scheduled start and end time.  Please do not
(or have anyone else) tell the entertainer to wait outside because the clock will still
be ticking and we will still end at the scheduled end time and you will end up
losing out on precious entertainment time.  When we arrive on time we will leave
on time.

* If you are having older kids at your party - you should talk to them about
keeping it as real as possible for the younger kids. This means they should play
along with the act- they should not try to make younger kids not believe in the
character by saying rude things!

* Our stand alone FacePaint packages are a 2 hour minimum-  Please do not try to
get the artist to stay past the agreed upon time frame.  She will gently explain to
the kids that she has to leave when the time is up.  Our departure might be
upsetting to some kids or parents, but we do our best to be kind when it's time to
leave. We have to make sure that we are on time to our next event.  If we make
kids balloons and they want a second balloon or a replacement if it pops we might
not be able to make it. If we are working on the face painting when a balloon
request is made - we will kindly inform the child that after everyone gets a painting
we will do our best if time permits to make another balloon
