H.M.
We've had and been to several informal CEC parties. We haven't booked through them. Just go in early around 10. Buy pizza and tokens on your own and bring in a cake. It will be way less expensive. On the website you can print off award sheets that have 10 free tokens each. print one off and give to each child. Purchase a theme party cup and label with each kids name, we just put 20 tokens in the cups. (they get 30 in all) Eat on the CEC plates they give with pizza or bring in your own. Also, sign up on the website for your childs birthday and they email 20 free tokens on your birthday. You can print off several and give to the party guest.
