After successfully logging in or creating an account, the customer will be asked to verify it’s the correct account and click Continue.

In this step, the customer provides the Party Details. Some basic information will Auto-Fill from their family account.

1. Your Party so Far gives a brief description of your party selections. NOTE: Click on the linked text in this section or the steps listed at the top of the screen to navigate to past steps

4. Contact is the name, phone number and email listed for staff to contact regarding the party.
5. Person of Honor is the person(s) the party is being held for.
6. Additional Information is where the customer booking the party can supply any extra notes about the party for staff members.
7. Agree to Waiver Requirement is the acknowledgement text from the parties settings. This must be checked to view the continue booking button.
8. Click Continue Booking.
   

Step 5: Review and Pay

The last step in the party booking process is to review the full party details and submit payment for either the deposit amount or the full amount of the party fees (right).
