FAQ:
Do I really need to wear pajamas? This year’s theme is jolly in your jammies and we will be handing out prizes to those wearing pajamas (most festive, best matching set, best diy, you get it…) However, you do not have to participate in wearing pajamas if you do not feel comfortable.
What all do I need to bring? Just bring your 3 identical gifts valued at $10 each (you’ll spend $30 in total), AND a bag to take your 3 gifts home in.
Can I invite a friend? Absolutely! However, please make sure they are registered too so that we have accurate numbers for seating and food. Registration will close on December 1st at 10pm.
Why does registration close? Can I just show up day of? Please do your best to register before the deadline. Giving us a heads up of your arrival helps us prepare enough food and confirm we have enough seating for everyone to have a seat. We will close registration on December 1st at 10pm.
How do I cancel my RSVP? If you are unable to join us, please send us an email to let us know: kieh.kirby@myvillagechurch.com
Are children allowed to join? We ask that you leave anyone 11 or younger at home. If you are bringing a female young adult (7th graders and up), please make sure they’re registered and have their own 3 gifts too!
Can I show up any time between 4-7pm? Please plan to arrive promptly at 4pm, we have a lot of wonderful things planned for you that will take the full 3 hours!
