A few items to note as we enter April!

First of all, GREAT news for our Santa Secret Shop/Holiday Gift Shop schools! Due to the off timing of Easter and Spring Break this year, we are EXTENDING our Loyalty Bonus Sign Up Deadline to April 15th! So for those schools who have earned that Loyalty Bonus, we need that customer agreement in by April 15 – remember, we do not need dates yet – those can be determined in the fall!
​
For the schools who don’t do Santa Secret Shop/Holiday Gift Shop with us, why not? Our loyalty bonus is another great reason to work with Fun Services – Schools that return year after year earn more and more money that can be redeemed as free gifts, Fun Bucks, or simply as a credit on your account to make your final bill cheaper!

Next, we switch gears from winter to spring – it’s time to start thinking about Mother’s Day, Graduations, Proms, Spring Dances, etc!
​
Did you know, we offer a Mother’s Day Gift Shop? Much like a Santa Shop, it runs during or after school, on a consignment basis. However, this shop focuses on gifts for mom and the special ladies in your child’s life!

​We also still offer Wooden Roses as a great fundraiser for Mother’s Day, Graduation, Prom, or simply a great reminder that spring has arrived! Buy them for .50 or less, and sell for a dollar or more!

​Another great idea for Grad parties, Proms, and After Prom celebrations is our PHOTO BOOTH! Great fun and memories alike!

​Come to our showroom over Spring Break, and we can help you plan an event to remember! We’re booking fast, so call or visit us today!

Summer is of course, one of our busiest seasons. Not only do our corporate picnics start, but school is also ending. This means Fun Fairs, Ice Cream Socials and Field Days. We love all those smiling kiddo faces!

Here are some great tips on planning your child’s open house with less stress!

1. Plan a buffet – it’s easiest for people to come and leave without planning a specific “time” to eat. Great buffet options? Taco bar, deli bar, or a dessert bar!
2. Get the best attendance by planning your event a week or two before or after graduation instead of graduation weekend.
3. Keep the younger kids busy with games, coloring tables (white paper on a table with dollar store crayons will entertain young and old alike!), or a bounce house.
4. Celebrate the grad! Everyone loves pictures – consider a slide show or scatter digital frames around instead of the old fashioned boards.
5. Keep cool! Fun Services has sno kone machines, slushie machines (MENTION THIS BLOG AND GET A MIX FREE!), and chill tables available!
6. Make sure you have room in case everyone arrives at once – tents, tables, and chairs are also available for rent here at Fun Services!
7. Decorating can be simple and green – flowers can be cheap, and planted after the open house. Pot small plants and flowers in school colors, and place on tables for a easy and beautiful centerpiece.
