The Host must provide the serving utensils, place settings and napkins needed to serve the Birthday Dessert.
b. Alcoholic BEVERAGES: Lowe’s does not allow the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages anywhere on store grounds.
B. Guests
Any Attendee that does a Project Kit is considered a Guest, and Host will be charged for such Guest, whether or not that Attendee was included in the Final Guest Count. Hosts are responsible for managing their Attendees, and such Attendees’ participation in the Project Kits and food/beverage/supplies. It is not Lowe’s or the Participating Location’s responsibility to determine which Attendees the Host intends to be Guests and which it does not – it is the Host’s responsibility to manage which Attendees take a Project Kit. If more Attendees take a Project Kit than were identified in the Final Guest Count, the Participating Location will attempt to accommodate such Guests if space allows and if Project Kits are available, and in such case, Lowe’s will adjust your Guest count UP for each additional Guest over the number provided in the Final Guest Count (each an “Extra Guest”) and charge an additional fee per Extra Guest per the rate set forth on the Site (“Extra Guest Fee”). In no event will a Participating Location be able to accommodate more than 20 Guests. The Extra Guest Fee does not include Add Ons for such Extra Guests (if any were ordered), or guaranteed selection of Project Kit. Neither Lowe’s nor the Participating Location is responsible if the Party runs out of Project Kits, food, beverage or supplies due to more Guests than provided in the Final Guest Count, more Attendees using supplies or eating/drinking refreshments, or failure of the Host to order sufficient Add Ons. No refunds will be given if your Guest count on the day of the Party is less than provided by you in the Final Guest Count. If your Attendees bring extra siblings or friends to the Party that are not included in the Final Guest Count, they are welcome to observe, but will not be given a Project Kit or favors unless they are added as an Extra Guest and you pay an Extra Guest Fee, space permitting.
C. Payment
Payments can be made with a debit or credit card via the Build A Birthday registration website.
