Q: Why is there a difference in cost between an In-Person and a Zoom Party?
A: In-Person party costs include set-up and clean-up time. Additional costs for travel travel time beyond a 10 mile radius of Ithaca NY may also apply.

Q: How are materials handled for the different types of parties?
A: In-Person parties include all materials, which are organized for beautiful presentation and reflect any special requests, such as offering colors that tie into the party theme. For Zoom and DIY Parties, a list of supplies is provided upon booking the party for parents to purchase. I can help assist parents in locating all necessary materials for both Zoom and DIY parties. 

Q: How does the DIY party work?
A: For a more cost effective and flexible party idea, parents can purchase the DIY Party Package which includes a comprehensive list of materials and detailed instructions on how to host the activity yourself, including tips for a successful setup and how to help the party attendees finish their works of art. The package also includes access to ask me any questions you have leading up to your party.

Q: Why do I need to send a special request for the Earrings & Copper Shapes DIY packages?
A: These activities require more complex and expensive tools, such as jewelry pliers and cutters, and multiple sets of these tools, which is best suited for an In-Person party. However, if your party attendees already have jewelry pliers or will be obtaining their own set to keep after the party, send a special request for these activities for the Zoom Party and DIY Package to learn more.
