What to Tell Birthday Party Guests Before They Arrive at Off The Wall Kids (London)

You sent the invites. Cake is ordered. Then party day hits and half the guests did not know about socks or waivers.

This is the friendly **guest-message checklist** for birthday party hosts at Off The Wall Kids (**539 First St, East London**, Argyle near Fanshawe College). Put these lines in your invitation or group chat — it saves everyone time at the front counter and keeps **things to do in London** fun instead of stressful.

"Copy-paste for your guests"

Feel free to send something like this:

**We're celebrating at Off The Wall Kids (539 First St, London).**

- **Socks required** for everyone who comes past admission — any age, playing or not. Any socks work; **grip socks are recommended** (sold at the counter if you forget). - **Waivers required** for everyone past admission — kids and adults. Sign ahead: offthewallkids.ca/waiver (digital waivers are valid 12 months). - **No outside food or drink** except store-bought cake/cupcakes for the party room with an original itemized receipt. - **Parking tip:** offthewallkids.ca/parking - Please RSVP with **first and last names** for kids and adults so we can add you to the guest list.

"Why socks and waivers matter most"

Those two items cause the biggest delays — and the biggest surprise costs.

When guests skip waivers, check-in slows down for the whole party. When guests forget socks, parents end up buying them at the counter. **Any socks are fine; we recommend grip socks** for slides and structures.

Anyone going past the front gate needs **socks and a waiver** — including adults who are "just dropping off," sitting, eating, or not playing.

"Early arrivals"

Guests **can play in the facility** if they arrive early and we are open. **Party room access** starts at your **booked start time** — early room entry is not guaranteed.

"Friendly host tip"

Most of this already belongs on the invitation. The hosts who have the smoothest party days are the ones who say socks + waivers twice — once on the invite, once in a reminder text the day before.
