FAQ
-
Is the party witch scary?
No! This is a fun, artistic, crafty, and whimsical experience. Perfect for children or adults who are connecting with their inner child.
-
Do I need to provide anything?
No! We will need enough room for each participant to have their own work space, and an extra space for my materials. I can bring my 6 foot folding table and a 4 foot folding table, but if you have a table that is the size of mine or bigger, it is preferred to use what is already set up in your home. I always bring a protective tablecloth! If you would like party guests to sit during the activities please provide chairs.
-
How long do the activities take?
The guided activities will take between an hour and an hour and a half. It takes me about 15 minutes to set up, and about 15 minutes to clean up. I book for 2 hours and will arrive at our determined arrival time, though we may finish before the full two hours.
-
How many guests can we invite?
My standard party is for 10 participants. If you would like to invite more, I change an additional fee of $30/person to cover the additional materials and preparation labor. All of my materials are prepared specifically for your party, and many of them are biodegradable and made fresh for your party. Because of this, I need at least a week’s notice if the party will be more than 10 participants. If you have requested more materials for a bigger party but have a no-show the day of, I kindly ask that you still pay the additional material/labor cost.

-
Can I leave you alone with the kids during the party?
Though I am a licensed teacher in Oregon, I ask that you do not leave during the party. For the lavender package I ask that you stay close by to help in case a child is in need of additional support. For the amethyst package, an adult will need to be present in the home at all times.
-
Do you travel outside of Portland?
Yes! I charge a small travel fee for parties outside of Portland.
-
Is every party which party the same?
My parties are ever evolving and improving. I am very passionate about creating activities that provide opportunities for creativity, inquiry, exploration, and joy for young minds. I pour my love of teaching into the Party Witch experience and am constantly incorporating new and exciting ways to bring more magic to my parties.
