Frequently Asked Questions
What will the String of Beads host bring?
All beads, tools, stringing materials, bead mats/boards
for use at the party, table cloths,examples of finished
projects, experienced host to help kids with their
creations!
What do you need to have?
* Table & enough space for each of the guests to be
able to work. The bead design boards are about A4
size so you can lay out pieces of paper to make sure
you have enough room for everyone. We also need
room to be able to put down the containers of beads
for the kids.
If you don't have a table you think is suitable, just let
me know at the time of booking and I can bring 1 or
2 along
(no extra charge for these!)
* Seating - little kids night need seats if your table is
high, but older kids tend to want to stand and move
around to gather more beads, so seats aren't always
necessary for them!
* Food, drinks and cake!!! ....I don't bring these ;)
How do I book a party?
Ring Danielle on 0430 216 085 to make a party
booking or ask any questions
or fill in the Inquiry Form
or email info@stringofbeads.com.au
What areas do you cover?
I'm Brisbane based, in Ashgrove. I cover any areas
within 25kms of Ashgrove.
If it's outside this area there will be a travel surcharge
to cover time & petrol costs.
Surcharge is $10 for every extra 10kms outside the
25kms radius.
Pricing of the party?
The parties are $350 for 8 kids. $24 for each extra child.
(So $374 for 9 kids, $398 for 10 kids, etc...)
If there is more than 12 kids for Junior or Groovy Girl
parties then I bring along a helper.
There are no discounts for less that 8 kids (I'm sure
you'll understand it's still the same amount of work
for me prepping & running the party for 5/6 kids as it
is for 8 kids) however if it's 6 kids or less I add a DIY
bracelet kit into the party bag for each of the kids to
take home!
Are there discounts for mid-week parties?
Yes! Monday - Thursday we offer a 10% discount for
a party during the day or after school! * mid-week
discounts dont apply on school holidays, regular
rates apply
Are there specific time-slots available?
Yes.
Monday to Friday 3:30pm
(or flexible timing during the day)
Saturday 10am 2pm 5pm
Sunday 10am 2pm
How do I pay?
We need a non-refundable $80 deposit at the time of
booking to secure the date & the final payment for the
party 3 days before the party. ($80 deposit is taken
from the total).
Direct deposit details will be emailed through at the
time of booking.
Extra people can be added to the party (and cash paid
for these at the time of the party).
No refund given for a decrease in numbers once final
payment is made.
What if I need to change the date?
The deposit is not refundable, but having kids myself,
I totally understand that kids get sick or events happen
which means that the party date needs to be
postponed.
I'm more than happy to change the date of a party
under these circumstances.
COVID - if the Govt puts us on lockdown or restricts
numbers in the home, then I'm more than happy to
discuss postponing the party or happy to discuss a
refund under COVID circumstances!
What timing do you suggest for the party day?
I will arrive 20-30 mins before the party starts so that
I can set up everything and make it look really
beautiful!
We do the beading for 1.5 - 2 hours (making sure that
everyone gets to finish their projects!) and then its
usually works that it's time for food & the birthday
cake.
While you're doing food & birthday cake I'll pack up
everything!
Do I have a Blue Card for working with children?
Yes!
