      • Event & Location
        • In most cases, you will want to set up the event as an Open Booking event, so make sure you have toggled the event schedule as Open Booking.
        • It's recommended to create a separate Event Type for your Birthday Party packages so they are categorized differently than your other services and offerings.
      • Schedule
        • Assuming you allow Birthday Parties to be registered during your normal business hours, you will want to set up the schedule for the event to mirror your business hours. If you have specific hours birthday parties can be booked, you will need to input those specific hours.
        • Input a scheduling and cancellation deadline if you would like to give yourself enough time to prepare and set up the birthday party or special occasion.
      • Participants
        • It's recommended to set the participant max to 1 so that only one party can be reserved during the same time period.
      • Staff & Resources
        • It is important to include all resources that need to be available and reserved when a client books a birthday party package. Add the appropriate Resources and change the Usage to "All" so that all resources are booked at the time of booking.
      • Pricing
        • The total cost of the package should be input as the event price.
      • Marketing
        • Include important details about what is included and expected for a birthday party celebration at your facility to provide clarity and minimize confusion.
      • Registration
        • Include any registration fields to capture additional information from the client at checkout if needed.
