Reminder:

To make your birthday party a success, please read the following carefully.

Have you sent back your written confirmation with your $25.00 non-refundable deposit?*
Have you ordered your food/drink?
Have you sent your invitations with directions? You might also include if your party will be on the first or second floor of Lanes and Games. Another good idea is to have the name of your party on the invitation. We often have several parties scheduled for the same time. For example:
"We will be bowling on the first floor. Be sure to ask for the Mary Smith party."
Don't forget birthday candles, a knife for your cake, table linens, cups, napkins, forks/spoons and bowls (if you are having ice cream).

NOTE:
If you are ordering food/drink with us, white plates, cups, napkins and cutlery will be provided as needed.

Lanes and Games wants your party to be a success. If you have any questions on what to bring or what is provided, please do not hesitate to contact us.
