I was a facepainter first before I became addicted and twisted so I do the line check at 20-30 min before end time. I tell them they are the last ones as I have to go to my next party or event. Everyone gets a simple balloon. I agree there will still be whiners, mini tantrums and verbally aggressive parents on occasion (I hear and feel Patricia B's lament). I really need to incorporate the "treat and run" . I like the glow sticks, little tattoos, or uninflated balloon. Wyndy O
