Event Planning

Top Ideas for Party Themes

It doesn’t matter what a child’s interests are or their age, there’s a party theme to
accommodate them. Some themes are perennial favorites and the following are the top party
themes that have withstood the test of time.
Animals
Decorate with stuffed, inflatable, cutout and figurine animals from around the world. The
theme is especially popular with younger children.
Carnival
Parents can bring the carnival to their own back yard. There’s a wealth of traditional games that
can be rented, along with bounce houses and similar entertainments.
Dance
Great for teens and tweens, parents can create a theme within the theme. Get the party
started with a disco ball, black lights or colored LED lights. The party can be based on any era or
type of dance, from swing to contemporary.
Fantasy
The range of fantasy-based themes encompasses wizards and mythical creatures to outer
space. Don’t forget the opportunities available in popular books and films, such as Harry Potter
and Star Wars.
Pool Party
The warm and humid South Florida climate make a pool party one of the most requested
themes. Parents can rent inflatable waterslides to accommodate teens to toddlers. Waterslides
are available in an extensive array of colors and themes.
Rock Star
At some point, almost every child dreams of being a rock star. Decorate with plenty of glitz,
inflatable guitars, faux vinyl records and musical notes.
Superhero
Have attendees dress as their favorite superhero for an afternoon of fun. Decorate with
superhero cutouts, figurines and bright colors.
Treasure Hunt
Few youngsters can resist the lure of a treasure hunt. An added benefit is that it doesn’t require
a lot of room – but parents do have to be creative in where treasure is hidden. Be sure and
customize the hunt to the age of party-goers. The treasure can be anything from a cache of

gold-wrapped chocolate candy coins to a coupon for a free ice cream cone. For smaller
children, be sure that everyone gets some type of prize, even if they don’t discover the
treasure.

What’s Your Kid’s Favorite Bounce House Theme?

A bounce house is fun for kids ages 6 to 12, but it’s even more attractive and exciting when the
bounce house theme matches a child’s interests. Inflatable bounce houses for rent encompass
an extensive range of themes from which to choose. Individuals can select from themes ranging
from pirates and princesses to Sponge Bob and everything in between.

It doesn’t matter what sport a child is interested in, there’s a bounce house to accommodate
any desire. Bounce houses are available with a basketball, soccer, football, baseball, auto
racing, and monster truck theme.

Bounce houses with popular animated, storybook and fairy tale characters are an ideal solution
and many are specially designed with toddlers in mind. Toddler bounce houses include those

dinosaurs. The Candy Land and Zoo Island bounce houses feature a mini slide and other
activities inside.

house. Standing 28 ft. tall, the bounce house is adorned with a brightly colored elf seated on
top. A 28 ft. snowman themed bounce house can also be rented. The entire bounce house is in
the shape of a giant snowman. Individuals can also choose a holiday gingerbread house or

Bounce Houses are Perfect for Backyard Family BBQs

Most people think of a bounce house in terms of fairs and carnivals. Anywhere there’s a
gathering of children age 6 to 12 is a good venue for a bounce house, including a backyard
family BBQ.
Keep Kids Occupied
There’s an inherent appeal in a bounce house that can’t be denied. It’s a great way to keep kids
occupied, entertained, and away from grills or smokers. It’s also an excellent opportunity for
children to work off excess energy that can easily find an outlet in less appropriate ways.
Health Benefits
While the health benefits of a bounce house aren’t usually high on a priority list, the inflatables
are a healthy outlet. They stimulate the circulatory system and represent a healthy aerobic
workout. They help kids improve coordination and balance skills, while strengthening muscles.
Rules and Precautions
Hosts need to know that a bounce house needs to be monitored by a responsible adult at all
times and must be set up in a certain way.
 Set up away from fences, structures, low-hanging tree limbs, and overhead utility lines
 On flat ground free of sticks, rocks, sprinkler heads and similar sharp objects
 Limit the number of children using the bounce house at one time to 3 to 4
 Only use a bounce house in sock feet
 Have kids remove glasses, jewelry and remove any sharp objects from their person that
might damage the bounce house
 Children of the same size, age and weight should use the bounce house at the same
time to minimize the ripple effect
 Never let kids under age 6 use a bounce house or youngsters over the age of 12
 Never use a bounce house in the rain or if the wind is strong enough to blow dust
around
With responsible monitoring and precautions, a bounce house is a wonderful addition to a
backyard BBQ. It provides entertainment for the younger set and gives adults a chance to catch
up on family news.

Bounce House Rental

Where’s the Best Place to Have the Bounce House Set Up?

Bounce houses create hours of fun and provide healthy exercise for children, provided the
inflatable is set up appropriately. There are certain rules for establishing a bounce house to
ensure the safety of those using it and to protect the integrity of the inflatable.
The Surface
A bounce house should only be set up on a flat, even surface. It should be free of sticks, stones,
rocks, and branches. The inflatable should also be set up away from irrigation sprinkler heads.
Aside from the danger of puncturing the bounce house, adults need to remember that children
exiting the bounce house may be wobbly and fall.
Weather Concerns
The weather can change rapidly in South Florida. Bounce houses should never be used when it’s
raining or a storm is on the horizon. Wind is another critical factor. Don’t use a bounce house if
the wind is strong enough to blow dust and/or small gravel around.
Other Hazards
Overhead branches are a definite danger and a bounce house should never be erected under
low hanging branches. It should be kept far from overhead utility lines, fences, sheds and other
types of hazards such as trampolines, swings and outdoor furniture on all sides.
Adult Supervision
It’s imperative that adult supervision is present at all times. It will be the responsibility of that
adult to ensure no more than 3 or 4 users are in the inflatable at one time. Youngsters should
all be of a similar build to mitigate the ripple effect that comes with jumping. Users should also
be similar in age – never mix young children with their older counterparts to maintain safety.
The adult will also be charged with having youngsters remove jewelry, glasses and empty their
pockets of any objects that could potentially puncture the bounce house. Users must remove
their shoes before entering and wear socks while in the inflatable.
