Sleepover/Slumber Parties

So how does a Giggle Bean Sleepover Party work?

On the party date, we arrive at your home, set up, style the area and then leave to let you and your family enjoy your celebration.  The following day we will come by to pick up the items.  Locations outside of Chesapeake will have a travel fee assessed based on distance.

What is the time period of the rental?

The period of the rental is overnight.  Upon contract signing, your set-up and pick up times will be provided.  If you need them for more than one night, no problem!  Additional fees will apply.

How are the tents and bedding  cleaned?

After each event all bedding is laundered. Mattresses, tent covers, decorative pillows and styling items are disinfected and spot cleaned.

​

The decorative pillows should not be used as sleeping pillows.  Any evidence of use the client will be charged a replacement fee.  

Can I use the tents outside?

• The tents are designed for indoor use but can be used outdoors if prearranged and if the following conditions are met:

• There is an outdoor covered area

• There are no sprinklers, hoses, pools near the tents

• There are no pets to make contact with any Giggle Bean tents.

How much space do I need?

Each tent requires around 4 ft depth and 3 ft width, and are 5 ft high. We can arrange in various configurations (line-up, semi-circle, aisles) depending on your space.  We do NOT move furniture so please make sure the space you want to use is cleared out.

How far in advance should I book my theme birthday party?

If you have a specific date in mind, we recommend calling well in advance of your chosen date.  Our dates fill up fast.  We require a minimum of 2 weeks notice on existing themed parties.  Custom parties require 8 weeks notice.  Party dates under 2 weeks notice, may be accommodated and a rush fee will apply.

Can I book more tents?

Absolutely. For $65 per person we can expand the package to include as many as you need, complete with all the regular bedding and accessories. If you've got the space, we've got you covered. For bookings of 10 or more an additional discount is given. We can cater for less than 5, however the minimum package price still applies.

What if I have to cancel?

In the event that you have to cancel your party, we will reschedule your event for another date. Please try to allow two weeks’ notice. Due to the nature of our business the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE.  The full price will NOT be refunded for any cancellation in less than 7 days.  Customized items will NOT be refunded if they have been made, they will be provided to the client.

What do I need to do to prepare for my child’s event?

• Please have an open driveway for us to park and unload.  

• Please keep any pets and children clear from the party area.

• Please provide a smoke-free environment.

• Please be mindful that we need the entire 1.5-2 hours uninterrupted to set up for your event. We appreciate your redirecting all children and guests away from the set-up area.

Why don't you provide sleeping pillows?

For health and hygiene purposes of all our clients, we do not supply sleeping pillows.  We can notate on the invitation to have guests bring their own pillow.  Upon request we are happy to supply pillow cases for use during the event.  Our decorative pillows should not be used as sleeping pillows.  They will be checked using UV lighting.  Clients will be charged a replacement fee for any use sleep use.
