The Cuddle Party Agreements
The Cuddle Party agreements are tried and true, and there’s a logic to them that goes deeper than you might think to create a safe, fun environment for people to connect. At a Cuddle Party event, the first hour and more is an experiential workshop with exercises, discussion and explanations of the communication agreements that you can put to use everyday. This sets up the event so we can connect in a supportive space with each other.

Stick To The Agreements
- Cuddle Party is a platonic event. Clothes stay on the whole time.
- You don’t have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever.
- You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone. (Be as specific in your request as you can.)
- If you’re a yes, say YES. If you’re a no, say NO.
- If you’re a maybe, say NO.
- You are encouraged to change your mind.
- Respect your relationship agreements and communicate with your partner.
- Get your Cuddle Party Facilitator or the Cuddle Assistant if you have a question or concern or need assistance with anything during the Cuddle Party.
- Tears and laughter are both welcome.
- Respect people’s privacy when sharing about Cuddle Parties.
- Keep the Cuddle space tidy.
Arrive On Time
Once we begin the Welcome Circle and orientation, we can let no one enter late. This creates comfort and safety by ensuring everyone is included during the introductions and discussion of the Agreements.
What To Wear
Comfy clothes or Pajamas – nothing too risqué. Think more comfy than sexy. (More flannel, less lace!) Minimum clothing is wide strap tank and long shorts.
What To Bring
Cuddle Party is substance and alcohol free, so no liquor please. Juice or sparkling cider is always welcome. You may be invited to bring snacks. A pillow or stuffed animal if you like. Otherwise, just bring your smiling self.
