Chuck E. Cheese Party email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family2 years ago

My niece is planning a party for the end of this month at Chuck E. Cheese for my great-nephew who will be turning two years old. I can not believe it will be two years already. Seems like she was just pregnant with him a week ago.
Anyway, does anyone have any tips for planning a party there? Also, does anyone know how to get coupons from there. I looked at the website and the coupons expire on the 27th and his party will be on the 29th. My niece has been checking the Sunday paper and has not found any.
Can you go down and pick some up. I have no children, so this is completely new for me. I am just trying to help them make things run smoothly. A two year old's party can be much work.

You might just phone them and ask for some discount or something.. and maybe show up and ask if you don't want to phone them. Talk to the manager and not just a worker there.. and you might be able to get a deal. happy

That is a good idea. I know that there will be a lot of children and that means a lot of adults too.

A Chuckie Cheese party is easy. No clean up, they get all the mess. Hopefully someone will find some coupons. All you have to so is take your cake, the kids can run around, be noisy, be messy. Have fun at the party, it will be perfect.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

Run around and be noisy and messy. Oh my, this sounds like a whole lot of fun for a bunch of two year olds. Well, I better go get a camera and some earplugs. And as long as I do not have to clean up the mess, I am cool.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8481)   ranked 45 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

Exactly, get your earplugs, sit back and have fun watching the kids be kids and then leave the mess. My kind of party, lol.

I think they do it all for you Rozie if you just give them a call. I took my son there for his birthday but it was just the two of us because we didn't know anyone then.

We were invited to one a few months ago and she just called them up and arranged it all. She bought the cake and had them organise when to bring everything out. You have your own table and someone to help you with the party.

I am not sure about the discount vouchers as I am not aware they offered those.

I hope you guys have a fun time!!!

The thing of it is, my niece booked a party for 20 guest. She has invited way more than twenty. She wants to get tokens and pizza for all the other guest also. So my sister has cornered me to look for coupons online.
So far, I have found four. I do not know how I got dragged into the planning. I just wanted to go and be a guest and take my little gifts. I wanted to hug and kiss my nephew and then go home. Now, I am stressed out right along with them. This kid is turning two years old.
I could fix him up, buy a cake, take a few snapshots, put it in a photo album and call it a year. I know it is my first great-nephew. But the ten nieces and nephews before him wore me out. Always an auntie, never a mother. This bites.

Aargh I don't like that when it happens, when they make a booking for so many an then end up inviting more. Sounds like its going to be an expensive one! i hope you can find more.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

I do not know why my niece did this. It is going to end up costing a small fortune. Like I said, he is only two years old. There are going to be kids of all ages. I know she is excited, but this is going too far. This kind of confusion makes me want to just stay home. If I could find a way out of going, believe me I would.
My family and I do not spend enough time together anyway. I would much rather go over and spend the day with them. The party is going to be on a Saturday. This means that it is going to be so crowded that one will have to step outside to change their mind. The more I think of it, the more I do not want to attend.


myLot reputation of 94/100. maddysmommy (10990)   ranked 440 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

Yup Saturdays are CRAZY at chuck e cheese. When we went to our friends birthday party, we had a booking but it was only for I think maybe an hour at most and then were told to leave that area because there were more birthdays afterwards. We spent another 30 minutes looking around and were lucky to find another table. The reason why we didn't leave immediately was because the kids were having so much fun. She had a total of 5 kids altogether which I thought was a good amount.

My son has already started planning his birthday, I don't know why since its not till July, but I think because the other kids in his class are having birthdays so he wants to plan now hahaha. I said 5 kids at most and he said WHY can't I have all my friends in my class (like 20 of them) and I said because we can't afford to have that many attend LOL he still wrote his friends name out on a list though. I'm sure by July I can cut it down to 5-7 LOL

I would rather just the three of us and maybe 2-3 of his good friends to join us at home, with cake and a few indoor games LOL not sure if that will happen!


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

Kids are so cute, but they do not yet understand the value of money. I think that it is a very good idea for Maddy to start working on you guys early,LOL. That way, when his birthday comes you will know exactly what he wants and there will be no surprises. Smart kid, hehe.

I wish I could help you on this one. The only place that I know of is the Sunday papers. But like someone else said, I am sure you can talk to them and they would either give you some or tell you where you could find them. I hope you have fun there. We have one about 25 minutes away from me and it is always packed.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

It is alright, I have just decided to give the problem back to my niece and my sister. I do not need to be stressed out over this. They are checking the Sunday paper and so far they have not found any coupons. I know that it will be very crowded because it is on a Saturday.
The problem is that my niece booked the party for twenty children, but a whole lot of other adults are coming with their children. I hope that everything goes smoothly.


myLot reputation of 97/100. cortney09 (946)   ranked 2,504 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

You would think that the adults that are bringing children that aren't invited would ask if that was okay. I mean even a small birthday can get really expensive. I think you're probably better off handing this back over to her. It sounds like a really stressful thing to worry about. I hope that you and she get through this without to much headache.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

That is just it, they are all invited. My niece did not want to pay the $11.99 for more than 20 children. The children who are not among the 20 are going to feel left out. I hope it does not end up being a big mess.


myLot reputation of 97/100. cortney09 (946)   ranked 2,504 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

I hope that everything goes alright for the party. I hope the children don't feel to bad, but I imagine that they might if they knew. I am sure everything will turn out fine with the party. I hope that she finds some coupons before the party though.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

I found a few online, but I do not believe that there will be enough pizza and tokens to please everyone. I pray that every thing turns out fine also.


myLot reputation of 97/100. cortney09 (946)   ranked 2,504 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

Let us know how the party goes.

Go down & talk to them at Chuck E Cheese. They specialize in kids parties. They will make sure the party runs completely without incidence..Happy Birthday little one...Lori


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

I think that it would be a really good idea for my sister and her daughter to go down and explain things to them. They should be able to make things great.

I agree. I don't have a Chuck E. Cheese close by. It sounds like a great praty for a two year old. They do grow fast. I mean it seems like my neice was just born and she is now 5 and my nephew will be 3 a week before my birthday.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7158)   ranked 31 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

I know, they do grow up real fast. That is why every moment that I can spend with them is so precious to me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Shaun72 (11890)   ranked 1,242 out of 3,957 in family  2 years ago

The same goes for me.
