As an official partner of one of THE most iconic birthday party venues of all time, Chuck E. Cheese, not only is Evite thrilled to offer the coolest Chuck E. Cheese birthday invitations ever, but we’re also equally excited to share some top tips and info around planning a party your kids will never forget. (BTW—if you love a good checklist, check out this downloadable one!)
But first—what do Chuck E. Cheese birthday parties offer?
Chuck E. Cheese has been around since 1977, so chances are, you have your own memories of going to an amazing party there! Well, guess what? They’ve only gotten better. Chuck E. Cheese recently added new games, prizes and food, as well as an all-new birthday live show with THE Chuck E. Cheese. As if this isn’t enough, they also have an interactive Dance Floor and Jumbo Video Wall so everyone can boogie on down at the bday party. And, for littles (AKA kids under 56” in height), they have Trampoline Zones so they can leap into another year with their friends!
Another super fun fact to note about Chuck E. Cheese: They welcome partiers of every age, so no matter how many candles are on their cake, they can blow them out here. (Another super fun fact: Approximately 10% of Chuck E. Cheese’s parties are held for 1-year-olds!)
Chuck E. Cheese provides different birthday party packages to suit every kid’s dream, but all of them include:
- Arcade game play
- 2 slices of pizza and unlimited drinks per child
- A reserved table for 2 hours
- Complete party setup
- Ticket Blaster and special recognition on stage for the Birthday Star
- A birthday show in English, Spanish and ASL
Basically, if your kid likes pizza and games (and what kid doesn’t?), read on!
Our top 6 birthday party planning tips
Choose which party package is best for your kiddo
Chuck E. Cheese offers 3 birthday party packages to choose from: Super Fun, Mega Fun and Ultimate Fun. Each package includes different activities, experiences and treats to enjoy, and as their names imply, all are FUN!

Packages and prices may vary based on location, date, and time selected. Due to supply chain issues, supplies are subject to change based on availability. Gameplay duration, collectible cups with free refills for life, and bonus E-Tickets vary per package. *All You Can Play games are for the duration of your party and expire at the end of the party date. At participating locations with Chuck E.’s Play Pass.
Did you know you can actually get your birthday cake right from the venue (AKA, Fun Center)? Yep, Chuck E. Cheese offers a selection of yummy cakes to help you check yet another party-planning must-have off your list. They sell ice cream, too, if you want to make your party extra sweet!
Book your party package early

To say Chuck E. Cheese is a popular place for kids’ parties would be an understatement, so reserving your dream party date at this iconic venue early is important. You can book a birthday party reservation up to 60 days before the party (or even as close as 24 hours before the party), but Chuck E. Cheese recommends booking your party 4 weeks before the big day to ensure the best possible chance of securing your preferred date.
We’re sure your next question is, “How will I know how many guests to account for before I send out the invitations?”, and it’s a great question! Chuck E. Cheese cannot guarantee that you can add additional guests prior to the party, so they suggest you hold for the maximum number of guests you will be inviting. You can always lower your number up to 24 hours prior to the party! You are also allowed up to 2 no-shows if the per-child party minimum is met (child minimums vary per location and are noted on the reservation site prior to booking)!
Send invitations to everyone
A party isn’t a party without people, right? After you book a party package, send a themed invitation to your birthday party! We recommend sending your invitations out 4–6 weeks before the party to give guests (and their parents) plenty of time to make arrangements to attend.
As part of our partnership with Chuck E. Cheese, Evite offers free, official Chuck E. Cheese invitation templates along with tons of other fun kids’ birthday invitation themes, including dinosaur invitations, video game invitations and jump-themed invitations. You can send your invitations via text or email, and when you upgrade to Premium, you can also choose a cool background, envelope, liner and stamp, as well as enjoy the option to send your Evite via shareable link. Regardless of which design you choose, make sure to add the name and age of the Birthday Star to your invitation card and add all of the important info (date, time, Chuck E. Cheese location, gifting info, etc.) to your event details.
Find and purchase any extra party decor & supplies
Chuck E. Cheese provides tablecloths, cups, napkins and utensils for every birthday party, but if you want to personalize your kiddo’s party even more, we recommend grabbing your decorations 2 weeks before. BTW—your party coordinator at Chuck E. Cheese can help you plan the setup!
Some birthday party decorations & supplies to consider:
- Balloons
- Table decor
- Cake toppers and candles
- Streamers
- Goody bags

Check your RSVPs for a final count at least 24 hours before the party
All Evites come with free, instant RSVP tracking and notifications you can access from any device. So yeah, we make it easy to get a final headcount before the celebration of the year! We also send reminders to your no-reply guests before the party to ask them to RSVP in time. Because Chuck E. Cheese allows you to reduce your guest count up to 24 hours before the party, make sure your guest list matches your guest count. If you need to make any changes, contact the Chuck E. Cheese you booked the party with and they can help you out!
Head to Chuck E. Cheese and have fun at your epic birthday party!
Undoubtedly, the best part of planning a Chuck E. Cheese party is actually celebrating it. Prepare to enjoy 2 hours of pizza, games, cake, music and making birthday wishes—and don’t forget to hand out goody bags, max out your phone storage with party photos (make sure you get everyone to say “Cheese!”) and send your thank you cards after the party!

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:some text
- Signup sheets for standalone events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for recurring or multi-day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers and parent-teacher conferences.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
