How Far Ahead Should You Plan a Birthday Party?

  1. Boy in a birthday crown celebrating with his parents at Chuck E. Cheese

    4 to 8 weeks out: pick the date and package

    Start with the birthday kid: who they want there and what they love right now. Then choose a package and book online. Party packages need to be booked ahead. Check the Plano Independent School District calendar before you pick a date, since breaks and early-release days change who can come.

  2. Kids at a Chuck E. Cheese birthday table with a chocolate cake and balloons

    2 to 3 weeks out: invitations and a theme

    Send invitations and settle on a theme. Keep it simple: the birthday kid's favorite color, character or team is plenty. A Dallas Cowboys fan in the family? Jerseys and team colors make an easy theme. Order the cake now if you are bringing your own.

  3. Chuck E. Cheese team member setting up a colorful birthday party table

    1 week out: confirm your headcount

    Update your reservation to the number of kids you expect. Adding kids on party day is not guaranteed, because party areas have a fixed capacity. Plan table decorations: balloons, banners and centerpieces are welcome; balloon arches are not.

  4. Young girl catching prize tickets inside the Ticket Blaster at Chuck E. Cheese

    Party day: let the birthday star shine

    Arrive a little early so the birthday kid can settle in. Every family gets a matching Kid Check® UV hand stamp at the entrance. Then it is games, the Birthday Show and the Ticket Blaster moment the birthday star will talk about for weeks.

More to Do on Party Day

Every Chuck E. Cheese has the games, the Birthday Show and Chuck E. himself. Some stores add more for the party to enjoy.

The Adventure Zone adds climbing and active play.

Look for Black Out, Pixel Chase and Hypershoot. Only a few Chuck E. Cheese stores have them. This store hosts Sensory Sensitive Sundays. Ask about Sensory Sensitive Birthdays for kids who do better with less noise and lower lights (minimum of 10 kids).
