Nocatee · our own neighbourhood
A card party for the birthday child and their friends, run at your house here in Nocatee. We bring the packs, the mats and the games, a host runs the whole thing, and every card a guest finds is theirs to keep. Ages 6 to 12, and no card experience is needed.

We arrive early and set the table up before any guests are through the door, so nothing is being assembled while ten children stand around waiting. The table is the centrepiece: packs laid out, mats down, keepsake cards visible.
Each guest opens their own packs. This is the part that does the work, because opening a pack is a small event on its own and it happens for every child at once rather than one at a time. Whatever they pull is theirs. Nothing goes back in a box at the end.
Then the games. A host runs them, which means no parent is refereeing anything. The Birthday Scavenger Hunt gets the whole group moving and works regardless of whether a child has ever seen a trading card before. The Premium package adds Birthday Pack Wars, where guests bid on the best cards with birthday coins, and the Birthday Box Game, where everyone comes away with more cards.
The birthday child gets a Birthday Child Special Pack with a one of a kind Golden Birthday Card placed in it before the party starts. Every other guest goes home with the same keepsake. That is deliberate: there are no winners and no losers, and no child goes home empty handed while another one got lucky.

Every package includes the Birthday Child Special Pack with the Golden Birthday Card, a matching keepsake for every guest, and a host who runs the whole party.
Nocatee Cardz is run by a Nocatee family. This started because our own kids got into cards and then we noticed how many children around here collect, which is a different thing from being a company that happens to cover the postcode.
In practice that means the drive is minutes, not an hour. We arrive early, set up properly, and we are not rushing off to something on the other side of the county afterwards.
A garage with the door up, a back patio or a clubhouse room all work. The party needs a table and room for the group around it, and that is the whole requirement. Nothing needs power and nothing is inflatable.
We also run the free Nocatee Kidz Club locally: parents sign up and we drop a pack off by golf cart. Plenty of parents meet us that way first.
What ages are the parties for?
Ages 6 to 12, and no card experience is needed. Kids who have never opened a pack have as good a time as the ones who collect.
How much does a birthday party cost in Nocatee?
Three packages: Rookie Rip at $499 for 75 minutes and up to 8 kids, Standard at $649 for 90 minutes and up to 10 kids, and Premium at $899 for 2 hours and up to 12 kids. Extra guests are $30, $35 and $40 each.
Are you actually local to Nocatee?
Yes. Nocatee Cardz is run by a Nocatee family and this is where the whole thing started. We also run parties in Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
What do the kids take home?
Every card they find in their packs is theirs to keep, and every guest goes home with the same keepsake so there are no winners and no losers. The birthday child also gets a one of a kind Golden Birthday Card.
Can I move the date if something comes up?
With 14 or more days' notice the deposit can be moved once to any open date within 6 months.
Do you do events for adults?
Yes. RIP N SIP is our 21 and over pack night at a bar, a restaurant or a back patio. Every one is quoted on headcount, length and packs rather than sold as a fixed package.
Tell us the date, roughly how many children, and where you are. We will come back with what fits.
