Soiree By The Sea 2025 – Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Q1: No PayPal?

A: Not a fan of electronic banking? No worries! Give me a ring—Chrissy on 04 033 2423—and we’ll put our heads together to work out a mutually agreeable solution.

❓ Q2: Who can attend?

A: Everyone is welcome! Whether you’re new to the paper-crafting party, an ink-slinging veteran, a scrapbook sorcerer, a mixed media maven, or a Stampin’ Up! superstar, there’s a spot with your name on it at Soirée by the Sea 2025!

❓ Q3: Will I have to share a bed?

A: Absolutely not!

Caba Break consists of four gorgeous apartments, designed to make you feel right at home. Each apartment has four bedrooms, with two of them being twin-share rooms. That means you and your crafting partner-in-crime each get your own comfortable single bed—no awkward bed-sharing!

🏡 Every bedroom has its own bathroom—so no waiting in line for the shower! Plus, there’s a backup powder room in the hallway just in case.

🔒 Bonus: Every room has its own security code, so you can lock it whenever you leave the apartment.

❓ Q4: Can I transfer my retreat registration to a friend?

A: Oh no, you can’t make it? Don’t worry, we’re happy to consider transferring your spot to a friend. No promises, though. We’ll take it on a case-by-case basis, but we’ll need to act before we print your personalised retreat materials at the end of May. Let’s chat and see if we can find a solution!

❓ Q5: Can I have a room to myself?

A: We have a limited number of Queen (non-shared) rooms available for an extra $110 for the weekend. If you’d like one, please contact me ASAP to discuss availability.

❓ Q6: Is there off-street parking?

A: Good news! There are two options for you to park your car off the busy main street. Both options come with video security to ensure your vehicle’s safety.

We’ll send you more details closer to the event!

❓ Q7: Will there be swaps?

A: Yes! This year, we are doing a card swap only—but it’s completely optional.

📜 How it works:

• A swap sign-up sheet and guidelines will be available once registrations close.
• You’ll drop off your swaps at a designated collection point.
• On Sunday, you’ll pick up your swaps and take home a collection of beautiful creations!
• Maximum: 24 swaps.

❓ Q8: Do I have to give Pillow Gifts?

A: Nope! There’s no expectation that you will give your roomie a pillow gift—it’s entirely optional.

💡 What’s a pillow gift? It’s a small, thoughtful gift placed on your roommate’s pillow as a little surprise!

🎁 If you choose to participate:

• Keep it inexpensive and handmade (if possible).
• Understand that not everyone is in a position to give gifts, so don’t feel obligated.

❓ Q9: Will this event sell out?

A: I certainly hope so! Last year, it sold out in just 5 days. If it sells out:

• A waitlist will be available.
• We may offer a Soirée@Home option for those who miss out!

❓ Q10: I have dietary requirements—can they be accommodated?

A: If you have allergies or religious dietary requirements, please let us know in advance. We will strive to accommodate your needs as much as possible.
