Editorial Standards

The standards keep guides practical, independent, and clear about their limits.

Practicality test

A recommendation has to be realistic for a busy host or it does not belong in the guide.

Independence rule

Advice is written before affiliate links are considered, so commissions do not choose the recommendation.

Clear limits

Party Whammy gives planning guidance, not medical, legal, or professional safety advice.

Party Whammy’s editorial policy exists so readers can understand how the guides are made. The site publishes party-planning advice for ordinary households, not fantasy setups that need a production team.

How Party Whammy Writes Guides

Guides begin with the real hosting problem behind the topic: age, budget, space, food, supervision, supplies, timing, and cleanup. Advice must be practical enough for one busy adult to use. Safety, allergy, food handling, water, and supervision details are reviewed more carefully than decorative ideas.

How Party Whammy Keeps Advice Honest

Affiliate income does not choose recommendations. The advice is written first, and product links are added only when they fit the guide. Reader corrections are checked and fixed in the guide itself, with safety issues handled first.

Questions About the Editorial Policy

What does the editorial policy promise?

The editorial policy promises practical guides, safety-aware review, affiliate independence, and corrections when readers find errors.

How does Party Whammy handle safety and allergy advice?

Safety and allergy advice gets a stricter review, and the site points readers back to their own medical or professional guidance when needed.

Does affiliate income affect recommendations?

No. Recommendations are made for usefulness first, and affiliate links are added only where they fit the advice already chosen.

How do I report an error?

Use the contact page, name the guide, and describe the specific claim or line that needs review.

Are guides updated after publication?

Yes. Guides carry review dates and are updated when corrections, stale links, or better information make a page less useful.
