BOOK A LOCATION...
Where are you going to have
the party?
Will it be a "Home/Office" party or will you let a hall, restaurant
or party place handle it all?
Many Restaurants offer party rooms and there are other centres that
can host parties too!
Look in the Yellow Pages under "Auditoriums", "Halls", "Party..." or
"Entertainment".

to hold your party?
TIP...If
you think you'd rather leave the clean-up for someone else,
you should arrange for this as far in advance as possible to avoid
disappointment.
The same goes for professional entertainment, book now and get who
you really want!

More
Tips...
-
ARRANGE FOR A STAGE or PLATFORM - Everyone will be able
to see the live entertainment and SANTA better, and a 'riser' or
platform will give you more control.
-
ARRANGE FOR MICROPHONE + STAND - A quality OMNI-DIRECTIONAL, hands
free removable microphone on an ADJUSTABLE stand, is definitely
required for all larger halls and parties. Make sure you set it up
and test it before your event!
-
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS - Front seats RESERVED FOR CHILDREN
ONLY, allow sitting in a group, where, released from immediate parental
supervision, they are apt to be more relaxed and responsive to the
SHOW! Side seats can be used for families not wishing to separate.
However... for overall control, PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN, and
TODDLERS, SHOULD REMAIN WITH THEIR PARENTS.

DON'T WAIT 'TIL IT'S TOO LATE! CALL 519

NOW!
-
BOOK YOUR SANTA CLAUS - SANTA, your 'sweet breathed',
jovial, child loving, sort of guy, should be hidden on location, ready
to appear on the 'entrance cue' previously arranged with your MC or "Opening
Act". Pre-mature appearances are not appropriate!
-
MASTER of CEREMONIES - Any one of your group that's most comfortable
and organized will do. They need to be in control to keep control!
-
MUSIC - Music, sing-songs, etc. Best presented at the
start of the party, where latecomers will cause less of a disruption
and embarrassment, than during the LIVE SHOW that follows.
-
GIFTS - Decide who is responsible to: Buy,
Wrap, Tag, Store, Bring to the Party?
-
DECIDE ON OTHER TIME FILLERS - A noisy CLOWN may scare little
children. A gentle one is more loveable, especially at close quarters.
Unless invited by a performer, clowns should remain quiet at the back during
the LIVE SHOW so as to not interfere or detract in any way. The
best time for 'FILLERS' is during the SANTA visitations, easing
the big wait!
Food,
Handouts, Decorations...
-
REFRESHMENTS? - If any, serve them AFTER the show
(possibly during children's SANTA VISITS?) Control is easier
with less rushing around trying to re-seat guests.
-
HANDOUTS - DON'T DISTRIBUTE ANYTHING, if possible, prior to,
or during the LIVE SHOW. You paid for good entertainment, so why spoil
it and allow or provide distractions that can cause noisy interruptions?
-
DISCUSS DECORATIONS - Keep it simple. Set-up?
Clean-up? Who?
REMEMBER...THE
STAR ATTRACTION IS SANTA CLAUS!
TIP:
Never offer
entertainment
after Santa.
NO ONE COULD FOLLOW SUCH AN ACT...
from a child's point of view anyway!
*Hiring
a Pro... Lots of wonderful children's entertainers
are out there. Here
are a few tips in finding the right one:
-
Look in Parent Magazines,
Yellow Pages under "Clowns", "Entertainers" or "Magicians".
-
Ask questions!
Is
the show age appropriate? How Long? What do you offer?
-
Ask for
specifics! If they can't tell you about their act,
they may just "wing it" when they get a show. This is not the mark of a
true professional.
-
Ask for
references and call them! Any performer that actually
performs should be able to supply you with numbers of past clients.
*This
is very important!
