Please initial here.

* How many people do you anticipate inviting to attend in person?

Your best estimate.
Please include both adults and minors in your estimate.

* Of your total number of guests, approximately how many are minors (children 18 and under)?

Am Shalom will arrange chaperones from Mazel* Scheduling Services based on your total number of minors attending (minus siblings), regardless of whether their parents have been invited. Most of the time kids prefer to be with other kids and do not sit with their parents. This number can be modified as your RSVPs are tallied.

Typically, one chaperone is required per every 20 minors. Am Shalom will charge you Mazel's fee which is $180 per chaperone*.
