Party Directory, Wedding Guide and Event Services

General Questions (our Advertising section has good info too)

How do I add my business to this directory ? Go to the Main Index, find the city that is closest to your location and click it. On the next page there will be an "Add Your Listing" button/link at both the top and bottom of the page (click it one of 'em). Then choose your listing option and submit the form.

I'm not sure what category to list my business in? Use this chart to help.

How do I make changes to my listing? You will receive an email once the listing has been posted. The quickest way to make changes is to save this email and reply to it. We don't have a limit on the number of changes, but please don't bombard us with changes every month. The more changes you make the less important it will be to us to make the changes.

How long does it take for my listing to be posted? Just depends on demand. If it is slow then it could be within hours. If we're slammed then it might be a week or so. Listings are posted in this order: Premier, Value, BasicLX, Basic. If you've purchased a Premier or Value listing, the clock won't start ticking on the year long listing until it has been posted.

I have three companies all wedding and party related, can I list all three?

• If you have a separate phone number for each company then you could add 3 Basic Listing for free.
• If you have a separate website (and domain) for each company then you could add 3 BasicLX listings for free.
• If you want a Basic+info Listing for each then it would be $5.99 each or $17.97 total.
• If you want a Value Listing for all three the it would be $40 each or $120 total for one year.
• If you want a Premier Listing for all three then it would be $75 each or $225 total for one year.

You'd have to place a separate order for each listing.

Will I get a user ID and password? No. Like all you need in life is another user ID and password. This is a human powered Party and Wedding Directory. All submissions are read, reviewed and posted by real warm blooded humans...except for Olivia, watch out for her.

I want my listing to be in ALL CAPS. Sorry, no can do...unless it is an acronym in which case the letters will be separated by periods. You may be trying to get your listing to stick out by using ALL CAPS, but posting/typing in ALL CAPS is considered "yelling" and rude. It also makes for an ugly and hard to read webpage. We just won't allow it.

How do I know my credit card info is safe with your company? Since we use PayPal to process payment, your credit card information is never passed onto us. The funds are just transfered to our PayPal account. PayPal is the safest and most secure way to to business on the web.

Basic (free) Listing Questions

Can I list my business in more than one category? No. We only allow one free listing per vendor. Otherwise the directory would be a mess. Please don't send us multiple submissions for free listings. We'll post the first one. Any additional submissions for the same company or phone number will be ignored.

Can I list my domain name in a "Basic" Party and Wedding Listing? No. We'll add your listing anyway, but in order to list your domain name or get linked you must at least provide a link exchange (BasicLX Listing). It's only fair, don't ya think?

I'd like to add a description of my business. You can describe you business/service in the "Business Name" or "Comments" sections. We'll try to add as much as we can. 50 or so characters are all that'll fit and we reserve the right to edit for spelling, grammar or anything else that might seem inappropriate.

My business is national. I'd like to list in all your city guides. As mentioned above, only one free listing per company. I'd recommend finding the city where you are physically located and submitting your listing there. If you have a web-based business that is truly national (like maybe you sell invitations or party favors to the entire US) you are welcome to exchange links with us on our National Links Page. A link exchange will be required. Also, the only ways to get your national business on all our pages is to go with our paid listings (inquire for details) or to click the "advertise on this site" link at the bottom of the Google Ads. Just follow the directions from there. It really does work and you only pay when your website is visited...worth a look.

How long will my listing remain on this website? Basic Listings are not permanent. We'd like to clean them out every year or two. You can always re-submit if your listing has been deleted. The main reason for this is that Basic Listings are hard to police and review. We simply don't have the resources to call every one listed to see if their number has changed or if they're still in business. I highly recommend that you go with at least a BasicLX listing as they will remain active for as long as your website is online and our link is present. Plus, BasicLX and the paid listings much more attention from potential customers. Almost everyone will click on a link and check out a vendors website before they are going to take the time and start calling. If you don't have a website then let us help.

BasicLX (link exchange) Listing Questions

Do I have to use the link that the copy/paste code creates on my site? No. You can create a link anyway you like so that it fits into your website's style. The code we provide is just an option and we've tried to make it as small as possible. As long as there is a working link is our main priority...just make sure that the link can be found by navigating from you home page or whatever page we're linking to.

Does the link have to be on my home page? No. You can put the link on any page you want on your website as long as it is not too hard to find. We recommend either the home page or a links/resources page. We periodically check for our link on your site so make sure it's not hidden. If we can't find it, we'll have to remove the link from your listing thus downgrading you to a Basic Listing.

So, how do you check your link on my website? No one really asks this question, but I know it is on some of your minds. After the initial posting of your BasicLX Listing, there is not a scheduled checkup of your website's link to us. When a listing is added to the same page that your listing is on then we check the BasicLX's on that page since we're there updating the page anyway. This is why it is important that our link is not too hard to find on your site. If it takes us more than a minute to find our link on your site then we'll just delete your link on our site without any warning or contact. You'll have to re-submit to have your link re-activated (repeat offenders will be black balled). Also, other vendors listed on the same page as you tend to "tattle" as it could potentially knock one of their competitors off the page.

I don't know how to add a link to my website myself and my webhosting provider charges if they do it. Check out our "info" tag option. A small one time fee will get you a webpage, 2200 character description and a link to your website.

Value and Premier Listings

I don't want to pay by PayPal. Can I send you a check? We've done thousands of transaction through PayPal with no problems. However, we can also take payment through Google Checkout by emailing you an invoice. Just send us an email letting us know that you'd prefer this payment option. No checks....if it bounces we're charged $25 and don't have much recourse to get it back.

Can I put a small description in place of an address on my Value Listing? Yes. If you'd rather skip on posting your address, just type in a small description (45 characters or less) into the address line on the form. As always, we reserve the right to edit for spelling, grammar and length. This also applies to Premier Listings. If you don't use an address then you basically have two lines of text to work with (90 characters).

How much does it cost to add listings in more than one area? Just depends on what you're looking for. We're flexible and inexpensive. Send us an email to the address below with your requirements and we'll respond with pricing.
