When should I start the Splash Lab Entertainment?

Event time should be scheduled to start when the guests have had time to arrive, say their hellos and put their gifts down. This will prevent wasted time where the creARTive Instructor is doing nothing while the guests are settling in or if they are on the later side. A courtesy 25 min window will be granted in the event that your party is running behind but please advise in advance to best accommodate your Splash Lab Experience.
