Reptile Birthday Party Planning

First: choose a few possibilities

Pick your preferred date and one or two alternatives. Write down the birthday child’s age, an approximate guest count and which shop you want to contact. If the party is a surprise, say so and tell us how best to reach you.

The calendar below is a date request tool. It cannot reserve a slot or check the team’s diary, so keep the plans flexible until you receive confirmation.

Next: agree the practical details

• Confirm the date, start time, session length and exact party address.
• Agree the total price, inclusions and any payment or cancellation terms.
• Check guest numbers, age suitability and adult supervision.
• Discuss access, handwashing, photography and any quieter participation needs.
• Ask what you should provide and how food or cake fits around the animal session.

Then: send invitations with the confirmed details

Once everything is agreed, include the confirmed address, arrival time and collection time on invitations. Explain that children will be meeting live animals and following the team’s instructions.

Keep animal promises general: suitable handling depends on the day. Check other parents’ questions with the team in advance, and pass on any changes to guest numbers or arrangements as soon as you can.

A useful note in the diary

After sending your enquiry, you can add a provisional date reminder to your calendar. It is an all-day note marked as awaiting confirmation, with your requested time in the description.

The reminder does not book the party or block the team’s diary. Update it with the confirmed time and location once the team has agreed your booking.
