Common Questions

Things to know
before booking.

Booking & quotes

How does pricing work?

Every party is quoted individually, because no two are the same. Your quote depends on the number of guests, which bar or bars you choose, the items guests make, how long you'd like the experience to run, your date, and where the party is. Send an inquiry and we'll reply within one business day with availability and your quote.

Where do you serve?

Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties — from the coast to the Inland Empire. See our service areas for the full list of cities. If yours isn't listed, ask; we likely travel to it.

What's included?

Everything except tables and chairs: setup, styling, hosts, all supplies and take-home packaging, and complete cleanup. You provide the tables, chairs, and guests; we handle the rest.

What's your deposit and cancellation policy?

A deposit holds your date. Deposits are non-refundable, but if plans change we're happy to reschedule your party.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mini Creation Bar carries liability insurance.

How much advance notice do you need?

Two to four weeks is ideal for popular dates. We sometimes accept bookings on shorter notice — reach out and we'll let you know.

Can we book more than one bar?

Yes. Pairing two bars is popular for bigger or mixed-age groups — for example slime with a keychain bar, or lip gloss with bedazzle. Choose your main bar in the booking form and mention the second in your notes.

How do I book?

Fill out the inquiry form with your date, guest count, ages, and the bar you'd like. We'll confirm availability within one business day and follow up with your quote and next steps.

Ages & groups

What ages are your parties for?

Our bars cover roughly ages 3 to 14. Keychain & charm and stuff-a-plush start at 3; slime at 4; patch and heat press at 5; bedazzle and decoden at 6; lip gloss & keychain and the gold charm bracelet bar are best from 8. The baby onesie bar is built for baby-shower guests of any age. Each experience page lists its best ages.

Can younger siblings join?

Usually, yes. Tell us every guest's age in your inquiry. For mixed-age groups, pairing a simpler bar like keychain & charm or stuff-a-plush keeps the youngest guests just as involved.

Do you host tween and teen parties?

Yes. The gold charm bracelet, lip gloss & keychain, bedazzle, decoden, and heat press bars are favorites for older kids and tweens.

At the party

How does Mini Creation Bar work?

We arrive at your event with everything needed for your chosen craft bar — table styling, supplies, take-home packaging, and professional hosts. Each guest creates their own piece, takes it home, and we clean up before leaving.

How long does a party last?

Most events run 60 to 90 minutes of active crafting. We arrive 30–45 minutes before to set up and stay 15–30 minutes after to clean up.

Who runs the heat press?

Our hosts. At the patch, heat press, and onesie bars, guests design their piece and choose where everything goes; a host checks the placement and does the pressing.

What do we need to provide?

Just tables and chairs for your guests. We bring everything else — supplies, styling, take-home packaging — and handle setup and cleanup.

Do you need a power outlet?

Only for bars that use a heat press: the patch, heat press, and baby onesie bars. Every other bar runs without power.

Do you set up indoors or outdoors?

Both. We set up in homes, backyards, and other event spaces. Tell us about your space in your inquiry and we'll plan the setup around it.

Safety & materials

Are the materials safe for kids?

All materials are skin-safe, age-appropriate, and we offer latex-free options on request. Each experience lists best ages and any relevant allergen notes.

Do you use borax in your slime?

No. Our slime is made without borax.

What if a guest has allergies or sensitive skin?

Note it in your inquiry. We'll go over the materials for your bar with you before the party so you can decide what works for your guests.

Is the charm bracelet permanent jewelry?

No. The gold charm bracelet bar makes clasp bracelets — no welding — so they come on and off like any bracelet.

Are there small parts?

Yes, beads and charms are small, which is why each bar lists its best ages. Our hosts stay at the table for the whole experience.

Take-home & personalization

Can you accommodate themed events?

Yes. Color palette, finishing touches, packaging, and take-home labels can all be customized to your celebration's theme. Share your vision when you reach out.

What do guests take home?

Everything they make: a sealed slime jar, a patched bag or pressed hat, keychains and lip gloss, a bedazzled or decoden piece, a charm bracelet, a stuffed plush, or a pressed onesie. It doubles as the party favor, so there's no need for separate goodie bags.

Can names be added?

Yes. Names and words are part of most bars — chenille letters at the patch, heat press, and onesie bars; letter beads at the keychain bars; initials at the charm bracelet bar.

How do we care for heat-pressed items?

Wash inside out on a cold, gentle cycle and hang to dry. Skip the dryer and don't iron directly over chenille letters or patches.

How Quoting Works

Every party is quoted for you.

No two celebrations are the same, so we don't do one-size packages. Tell us about yours and we'll reply within one business day with availability and a quote built around it.
