A Waterslide Is A Great Addition To Your Party

A Waterslide Is A Great Addition To Your Party

Hooray! The long cold winter months are finally behind you. What else is on your mind right now rather than how best to enjoy the outdoors? Spring is an appropriate time to host a party. You can no longer resist the urge to organize that baby shower, bridal shower, graduation party, backyard barbecue or poolside party you have been postponing. Some of the ideas you can exploit include having cake, food, skewered meat, some music, interactive games, and a few drinks. The goal is to have everyone enjoy and get into the party mood.

Have you ever thought of having a waterslide at your party? Here are ways it can stoke the fun and keep everyone from going home early.

Drop a hint during invitations

Waterslides are not the preserve of kids alone. Adults too can have a great time. While sending invites, inform your guests that there will be a poolside surprise. Remind them to bring necessities such as sunscreen, bathing suit, towel, flip-flops, and sunglasses. Let the visitors come to your place with anticipation. Do not disclose what lies in store yet.

Rent a waterslide

Surprise your guests with a flashy water slide. Excellent choices include ‘The Hulk,’ ‘MudSlide,’ ‘The Twister with Curve,’ or the ‘Tsunami’. The Twister is a 40ft tall waterslide featuring two slides to make sure that your guests (both kids and adults) do not have to wait too long for their turn. It also features a curve at the end terminating in a landing pool. Guests at your party will remember the thrill of sliding from a height of 40 feet for many months to come. Alternatively, go for “The Hulk” variety that also comprises of dual slides with the fun beginning at 36 feet.

Get a Bounce House if you don’t have water

In case you find it hard to get enough water for a slide, try bounce houses. There are different varieties to choose from. Colorful themes available include candy, sports, disco and Zoo Island. All it takes is to have the bounce house inflated after which your home is ready for fun. Obstacle courses are a fun addition as well and are sure to tire out the most active of the bunch!  You can’t go wrong with an inflatable at your party.

Set the party

On the day of the event, have the slide rental company inflate it at the designated spot. Do this early in the morning to allow the water to get warm just in time for the action. To create a break and provide variety, have a game of, say, badminton to keep the fun rolling.

In conclusion

Waterslides add flavor to a backyard party. To keep everyone anxious, request them to carry items they would need for a swimming outing. Rent a slide from the many options available and choose one with double slots to minimize waiting time.

Kid’s Party Themes for 2018

Party Decoration Ideas for Your Child’s Birthday

Last season we caught the party decoration trends and found characters like the Minions and inside tent sleepovers to sweep Coconut Creek area like wildfire. This year there’s been a change in the décor, but it’s just as cute as last year’s party ideas for child birthdays. If you’ve been struggling with a theme, we found it here and just in time for 2018!

Idea One: Rainbows seem to be popping up everywhere in the kid party section. Rather than pastels for the girls and bold primary colors for the boys, the rainbow party is appropriate for any gender. While we found this theme to entail a plethora of different ways to display this color scheme, we can tell you it’s a fun and inviting look no matter what festival or celebration. From party streamers to balloons you can give the appearance of an exciting event even if you’re on a budget. Don’t forget to include the favorite My Little Pony for the toddler ages or Olympics for the older children. There are endless possibilities with these color schematics where just about anything goes! While just about any of our inflatables will work for this theme, we do recommend the Candy Land attraction to be an excellent fit for the youngsters!

Idea Two: Panda Bears Are Everywhere! Scour the internet, and you’ll find just about every mommy blogger writing about Panda Bear Parties. Just about every party favor you can think of includes a cute panda bear on it, and the kids seem to love the idea! If you’re looking for a little fun with some photo opportunities, try face painting the kids to look like pandas and rent our photo booth to take some super cute pics! They’ll love the use of the photobooths and so will you as you’re not snapping thousands of images with your cell phone while managing the rest of the party!

Idea Three: Unicorns seem to be a trendy topic all around these days. The mystical horse with the horn on the head that can fly has been enchanting us for years. But, for 2018 this is a craze is getting a lot of attention. For young girls, unicorns make an excellent birthday décor. There are tons of creative ideas for everything from games to prizes. For instance, ring toss using a simple cone can be loads of fun, and almost any age loves the activity. No matter what you end up with the unicorn party theme is a hot one for 2018 where you can’t go wrong.

We hope these ideas add a little spark to your party planning or in this case some sparkle. Nonetheless, we’re here if you need any assistance with your child’s special day.

Ideas for Making Parenting Easier

When it comes to things like rewarding your kids, don’t make the mistake of not satisfying yourself. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs any person will undertake, why not make it as easy as possible? We at South Florida Bounce have some tips to help you do just that with these daily habits steering you in the right direction.

Tip 1.) No Yelling. When we make the mistake of yelling at our kids, we think our message will come across more efficiently. However, by speaking methodically and quietly, you become more powerful because your child will hear your communication rather than just the sound of screaming.

Tip 2.) Be Grateful for What You Have. Since kids are extremely impressionable, it only makes sense to make a good example. Teaching kids that you’re grateful for what you do have or the little things are invaluable and a must. Don’t forget to include them in your blessings by telling them each day how much you adore them.

Tip 3.) Don’t wait until the end of the week to do the laundry. Wash a load a day. It doesn’t cost you any more than when you do it all on the weekend. Save yourself time and money by doing one per day and see how much extra time you just added to your calendar.

Tip 4.) Tackle a massive task a day. Whether that means filing your taxes or cleaning the kid’s game room, many necessary evils are lurking. By taking each day and using your time efficiently, you will be more organized and will accomplish more than you can imagine. For instance, purging toys is always a daunting task. But, by not overlooking that task and tackling it before it gets out of control, you’ll be having an easier time. By the way, it always sucks picking up toys before company shows up, is never fun nor easy. Imagine how cool it would be not to have to worry because the deed was already done? Awesome!

Tip 5.) Plan a weekly menu and stick to it! As we all know, kids can be picky eaters. But, there’s plenty of benefits to having a list even when your son or daughter wants to have a party. Besides, there’s a lot of time management when you hear the words “I don’t like that” or “Ewww gross, I’m not eating that.” Sit down with your kids and show them recipes and pictures to get a good menu down.

By doing following these excellent tips, you’ll save time, money and will make your job as a parent much more comfortable.

Inflatable Obstacle Course Fun

Obstacle courses are, as the name suggests, charted courses which have physical obstacles that the participants are supposed to work their way through. Traditionally, obstacle courses were set up permanently in parks and other open spaces for the public’s enjoyment. Now, you can order an inflatable course for a period of time and have it delivered to your home or any open space that you have available to you.

The popularity of obstacle courses was due to the fact that they were a fun activity that had health benefits. These same factors also work when you choose to rent an inflatable obstacle course. Here are some of the benefits that you, your family, and other partygoers will get to enjoy with an inflatable obstacle course.

  1. Increase in physical fitness levels

One of the (partially warranted) criticisms that face modern society is that fewer people are engaging in physically exerting outdoors activities. With the rapid developments in entertainment technology, it is getting harder to lure adults and children from their gaming consoles, streamable high definition shows and fast broadband internet. The inflatable obstacle course is the perfect activity that incorporates both fun and physical exercise.

After a few hours out on an obstacle course, you will increase your fitness levels, burn off excess calories, increase your cardiovascular health and get the opportunity to revel in the fresh outdoor air. It also gives you a break from the monotony of the gym as the only place where you get to exercise.

  1. You can rent inflatable obstacle courses in different sizes

There are many models to choose from when renting inflatable obstacle courses, depending on the space you are working with, and the group that you are planning to entertain. If you are hiring a course for smaller kids, then you need one that is not extremely physically challenging. Likewise, if you are shopping for a bunch of fitness buffs, then you can go for a more challenging obstacle course. The key is to understand the participants who will be enjoying your obstacle course.

  1. It promotes the spirit of teamwork and collaboration

There is a reason why obstacle courses are ubiquitous in corporate team building centers; they help foster a spirit of togetherness and teamwork among the participants. There is a natural sense of camaraderie that comes from overcoming challenges together as a group. This is why inflatable obstacle courses should be an important part of any party involving children.

  1. It engages your resilience and problem-solving skills

This is another reason for ensuring that your next kids’ party has an inflatable obstacle course. Obstacle courses do not just engage your child physically; they engage them mentally as they try to find ways of ‘defeating’ the obstacles in their path. It also promotes resilience and perseverance in your child, all of which are important traits to have later in life.

Play is how children learn to interact with each other and acquire important social skills. Incorporating the obstacle course into their play-world will go a long way towards helping you raise a helpful member of society.

Why You Should Book An Inflatable

One of the requirements that come to mind when you think of hosting a party over the weekend or even during the holidays is how to keep your guests entertained. Well, there is no better way to spice up the atmosphere than renting an inflatable especially if the guests will be bringing kids along. Inflatables are guaranteed to let party-goers of all ages have a blast – making your party one to remember.

If you’re not sure whether you need one, here are some reasons why you should book an inflatable for your event.

  1. They’re easy to set up

With so much time going into other aspects of planning for your guests, such as décor, cooking or even last minute cleaning, the last thing you want to worry about is setting up activities and games for your guests. This is where inflatables come in because they are easy to set up and take down. In fact, they require little preparation when it comes to setting them up. All you need to get started is adequate space and a place where you can plug the blower. What’s more? Inflatables do not leave a mess when you take them down. They are also easy to transport.

  1. They offer hours of entertainment

If you’re worried about keeping your guests entertained throughout, think inflatables. These structures offer hours of endless entertainment to children of all ages. This way, the adults don’t have to worry keeping the children busy, and at the same time keeping up with the party.

  1. They keep the kids in one general place

Inflatables are generally safe for children because they are made from some of the finest materials in the market. Furthermore, most of the companies that are in the inflatable rental business will often ensure that every unit is cleaned and inspected for safety before renting it out. Inflatables are also designed in a way that lets you watch as the children play.  This way you’re able to keep an eye on them all through. Inflatables should ALWAYS be monitored by a responsible adult to help keep children safe.

  1. They’re economical

When it comes to the cost, renting an inflatable is much cheaper compared to other activities or forms of entertainment. Generally, the rental fee will be determined by the size and type of unit you’re renting. Other charges may include the accessories that come with it and an attendant that will be on standby to watch over the children as they play. Ultimately, most inflatables rental cater to just about all budget types.

  1. They offer themed fun and can be branded

This is perhaps an added advantage of renting inflatables. They come in different themes and styles so you can choose depending on the theme of your event. Whether you’re hosting a sports fundraiser or a princess-themed party, you can be sure to find an inflatable that blends into your celebration. You can even include an inflatable water slide if you’re thinking of aquatic celebrations.

Whether you want to promote friendly competition among your guests or you simply want to keep them entertained, inflatables offer you the versatility you need to get them out of their comfort zone.

Rentals For All Ages

Sometimes, when planning for an event that involves different age groups, it can be quite a challenge identifying activities that will be fun for everyone. The best approach is to find something that appeals to a particular age of people, and then get the one activity that is acceptable and fun for all. This way, no one feels left out and everyone gets to have their own fun.

It can be a little frustrating finding all these things in one place. This is mostly because most rentals only stock activities that cater to one or two demographics at a time. At South Florida Bounce & Slide, however, we are as close as you will ever get to a one-stop shop for all your event rentals. We have rentals that cater to all ages and for a variety of activities as well. These include:

  1. Kid’s activities

We understand that activities that appeal to kids will not necessarily appeal to the other people at an event. We have different rentals that cater to kids all the way from toddlers to fourth graders. We have bounce houses and combo units that appeal to this demographic. The Candy Land Toddler bounce house is more popular with the younger children, while older kids will enjoy the Disco Dome Bounce House. The Disco Dome allows them to freely express themselves in tune with the latest music and flashing lights.

  1. Young adults

If your event is centered more towards young adults, you will definitely want to look at our ‘young adults’ catalog of rentals. We have a large variety of activities that would appeal to young adults including water slides, carnival games, obstacle courses, and other more exciting options as well. Activities such as Sumo wrestling in the Sumo Arena, competing in the Xtreme Sports Arena or trying to win something in the carnival games stand will appeal to this demographic.

  1. Adults

Adults are forgotten when planning events that incorporate different age groups. They are mostly left to fend for themselves. At South Florida Bounce, however, we have activities that cater for adult entertainment. They range from the adrenaline-paced games to laid-back options for those who do not wish to break a sweat. Whether they are flying in the bungee trampoline, climbing the 25-foot rock wall or playing a fun game of human hungry hippo, we have you covered. As if that is not enough, we have an action-packed game of total meltdown where you and 7 of your friends can test each other’s agility and reaction times.

  1. Universals

Even as everyone is having fun on their own, there are certain universal activities that everyone can enjoy. These include the Velcro wall which is loads of fun for everyone involved. Other fun all-rounders include the human foosball and the wipe-out, where you and can feel like the contestants on the TV show.

  1. Fun food machines

What is the point of having all this fun if no food is involved? We have different fun food stands including a cotton candy maker and a snow cone machine. Both come with 60 servings although you can add more. We also have popcorn makers and hotdog makers as well. For those who would like to have memories of their event preserved, we have photo booths as well.

Book your event rental and give everyone at your event a chance to have a memorable time.

4th Trend: The orb ball is sweeping the nation, and we see these fun toys is a variety of places from the pool to the park.

Who Says Bounce Houses are For Kids?

South Florida Bounce Has Something for Everyone

If you’ve got elected to be on the planning committee for your next corporate party, then you’ll want to pay close attention to this topic. While many parents assume that bounce houses and obstacle courses are for kids, they are also a welcome attraction for adults too. On the contrary, we often see parents sneaking in on the fun when these entertaining items are for a birthday or any celebration. In this blog, we give you a few hints on why inflatables aren’t just for kids to help you get inspired.

First, let’s discuss water slides as they are always a favorite item among both adults and children in South Florida. Since we live in a region that has excellent weather, it’s always a hot ticket to rent one of our many waterslides. Grownups can be seen wearing their favorite swim trunks and suits and slithering down the waterslide for a chance to be amused. Just because you think these attractions are meant for minors doesn’t mean everyone does. We always see parents with their children and a big smile on both faces.

Next, obstacle courses are a load of a grand and gratifying way to spend time during a work picnic or outing. These modern inflatables are perfect for team building and bringing new friends together while competing with one another. Just picture the CEO and the head of HR battling it out with our K2 Cliffhanger. Maybe a contest between team blue and team red battle to the death with Wipeout where they must climb on top of balls and other parts or get knocked over and lose. Many of our available stock can be inflated indoors or in a parking lot for your convenience.

Besides, the pitfalls of joy with an obstacle course, a good old-fashioned bounce house is never boring for big people. Also, you burn a ton of calories while jumping up and down. Where else can you wrestle with your best friend or next-door neighbor in a safe environment? A bounce house is a perfect solution to shake up any party, and it doesn’t matter what your age.

From photo booths to dunk tanks, we’ve got it all for your next party planning schemes. Just remember we serve people of all ages, and there’s something for everyone at South Florida Bounce.

Bounce House and Safety

South Florida is an excellent place to live. That statement is especially true if you are a kid. With ideal weather and a ton of attractions geared for children, this place is a tropical paradise for both kids and parents. However, when it comes to renting a bounce house, there are some concrete safety tips you should know, whether you’ll be renting  an inflatable for an event or, just as a treat for the whole family. Read this info to be well informed when it comes to safety and bounce houses.

First, be sure to hire a reputable company with a good track record. Since there’s very little to no regulation with these rentals, it’s important to find an organization that is going to look out for the safety of your family and friends.

Next, after the technicians install the bounce house, ask to do a full walk around the unit with them to ensure they’ve successfully anchored the bounce house to the ground. High gusts of wind are common in South Florida, so it’s imperative the installation and setup are secure and safe. Besides, the anchoring, have the rep point out there’s been extra precaution taken when it comes to water and electricity. In most cases, the designs are meant to be used around both and are constructed to prevent hazards. However, it’s good to do the walk around regardless. If anything looks suspicious ask about the item in question.

Besides the security of the structure, be sure to ask what the process is for cleaning their rentals. Do they do a wipe down or a full deep cleaning? As we all know, everyone with children is bound to have germs and a multitude of other health risks. However, most of the reputable companies take extra measure to be sure everyone’s not in jeopardy.

One more issue to point out here is that safety is both the responsibility of the bounce house attendant as well as the parents. Many times, kids are left un attended causing more severe issues. While bounce houses are designed for children to be free of danger, there’s still an activity that could cause a less than desirable outcome. In fact, just about every child entering a bounce house for the first time gets excited, and larger kids aren’t always watching the smaller ones. That being the case, kids can get hurt even during innocent play. Be sure as a parent you take the responsibility always to use your best judgment.

For the most part, bounce houses are safe and fun. A little extra work on both the part of the parent and the rental company just makes good sense.
