If payment is not made within this timeframe, your party date will become available to the public once more.

The base fee includes up to 6 participants and up to 1.5 to 2 hours of instruction/creative time (depending on your selected art party option). If you have fewer than 6 participants, you are still required to pay the base fee. If you have selected the Birthday Party Add-On option, this additional *non-refundable fee will be added to the base fee deposit and will also be due in full upon reservation.
​
*The only exception when it comes to refunding the base fee is if the Studio cancels your Service, in which case you will be refunded the base fee in full.
