Book Your Event Early for Waterslides to Beat the South Florida Heat

Inflatable waterslides are one of the most popular summer entertainments in South Florida. If you have a special event planned for the summer, now is the time to schedule a reservation on the waterslide of your choice. The inflatables are often booked months in advance. Waiting until the last minute can mean disappointment and no amusement for guests to enjoy.

Weather Concerns

The South Florida weather can be unpredictable, with storms developing at any time. It’s impossible to predict what the weather will be on any given day. Many people make the mistake of waiting to see what the weather will be like on their special day. Don’t hesitate to book early. You won’t be able to use the inflatable if it’s storming, but it’s better to have the option than come up empty handed. At least you’ll have access to the inflatable if the weather permits.

Multiple Events

While the inflatables are popular for events such as family reunions, birthdays, and graduation parties, they’re also highly popular for business promotions and grand openings, along with church and charitable events.

Waterslides for All

There are waterslides to accommodate any age group. Parties hosting tweens, teens and adults can add an interesting twist. Inflatable waterslides can be set up as an independent activity and some can be configured to deposit guests directly into your pool for a water park feel.

Water and Power Access

A waterslide requires access to a power source and water to keep it wet and/or fill a landing pool. Both requirements are something many people don’t think about. An ordinary home water connection, 50 to 100 ft. of water hose, and an electrical outlet are all that’s needed to provide power and water for safe sliding. Be aware that any water restrictions during the hottest part of summer will be a factor in your water slide rental plans.

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.

Top 7 Must-Haves when Planning an Outdoor Party

 

Parties play an essential role in celebrating events ranging from employee appreciation days and retirements to weddings. However, planning the event can be extremely stressful as individuals attempt to ensure every detail is correct – from food to entertainment. There are some essentials for any gathering that are non-negotiable and must-haves for a successful party – especially in Florida.

  1. Food

The quickest way to ruin a party is for guests to leave the event hungry. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a backyard barbecue or a sophisticated soiree. Food is viewed universally as a demonstration of love and regard.

Professionals caterers will know exactly how much food to prepare for the number of guests to ensure everyone is well-fed. They can also accommodate special dietary needs. Caterers will provide table service, glassware and servers, along with beverages, a bartender, and even bouncers if required.

  1. Seating

There should be a chair for every guest, including any children in attendance. They should also be easy to move, as there will always be groups of people rearranging chairs to sit together to converse.

  1. Tables

Guests should never be scrunched up together, which means sufficient tables so they can spread out a little for elbow room. It’s especially important if children will be attending.

  1. Tents

Florida can get very hot and humid during summer months. A tent provides convenient shade from the heat. It’s particularly important for older individuals. Portable air conditioning units are available to provide cooling inside tents. A tent also offers a means of expanding available space and provides shelter in the event of unforeseen rain.

  1. Entertainment

The type of entertainment selected will depend largely on the guest list. Adults enjoy dancing so a band or DJ, along with a portable dance floor, is ideal. If the party is for children, there are any number of inflatable games and activities that can be rented. Don’t discount the value of inflatables for adult parties, either.

  1. Decorations

The addition of appropriate decorations, whether it’s special lighting, banners or table centerpieces, are an essential element that will set the mood and tone of the party. They also provide an attractive backdrop for people to take photos as mementos of the event.

  1. Party Planner

A party planner is an excellent resource. They can help individuals stay within any budget and they have connections with entertainers, venues, caterers and other professionals. Party planners will relieve the stress and ensure a party for any occasion is a complete success.

Reward your Employees with a Special Event

Smart business owners know the value of showing their appreciation to employees. It fosters a positive work environment while providing an important tool for fostering diversity and inclusion. Most employers settle for a group dinner out, a catered event in the office during work hours, or gift cards. To truly demonstrate appreciation for employee dedication and productivity, plan a special event that will live on in memory.

People that spend a lot of time working indoors appreciate the opportunity to enjoy outdoor time and fortunately, outdoor events can be held any time of the year in South Florida. If an indoor event is planned, it needs to be something that has a significant fun factor. The range of potential events is almost endless, from scavenger hunts and escape rooms to comedy club outings and made-to-order inflatable playgrounds for adults.

Special events boost employee morale and individuals that feel appreciated are more productive. Appreciation events are also an opportunity for companies to support other local businesses. One idea is to close up shop for the day and take employees on an epic adventure – and be sure to have a photographer on hand to record the event or rent a photo booth for the occasion.

Above all else, an employee recognition event must be fun. When planning an outdoor event, consider renting inflatables to create any combination of environments desired. Companies can arrange for games and activities for a carnival atmosphere or choose a range of electronic amusements and interactive games.

To beat the heat, there are a number of water slides and similar inflatables available to emulate a water park. For an exciting day of competitions, inflatables of life-size lawn games are available, along with obstacle courses and mechanical rides. The only problems companies will encounter when planning their employee appreciation event will be selecting a theme and choosing among the wide range of inflatables to include.

There’s a wealth of unique gifts for Moms living in Florida, along with those that find themselves transplanted to other locales around the world. Here are some suggestions to make Mom’s day extra special.

Key Lime

Party Planning 101

If you have been strictly keeping tabs on your calendar lately, one can understand why; it is springtime. The bitter cold has paved the way for warmth while the vegetation is sprouting again. Flowers are in full blossom, and the grass is green all over you. When you look out the window, the outdoors is beckoning you to sample the beautiful weather. One thought that comes to mind is that of inviting your family, friends, and neighbors to an outdoor spring party.

However, with a celebratory event where people come over to your house, you need to plan. The tips below are sure to give you a head start.

Make early preparations

Springtime is for everyone, and they all want to enjoy the warm weather. Before people start getting busy, send them invitations in advance. Wisdom advises that you plan your event one or two months before the season kicks. At the same time, you give your guests ample time to confirm before they receive other engagements. Decide on the number of people to invite depending on your budget and space in your backyard.

Work out the menu

Depending on your budget, you could plan to hire a caterer for the day. Outsourcing saves you the trouble of cleaning up after everyone has left. You also find sufficient time to mingle with your guests, something that makes the party memorable. Whether self or outside-catered, you need to plan your menu as well as snacks for children. If you intend to have a barbeque, make adequate arrangements for grilling.

Drinks

Guests expect that you will serve them beverages at some point. Choose your beverages such that they cut across both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic types. Consider having a central serving location, but for large parties, you can hire a bartender. Also, have some fresh fruit juices and sodas for children. Remember bottled water too. Keep the drinks chilled in coolers; you can borrow a few for the occasion.

Entertainment

Your options might vary depending on the guest list. All the same, you could hire a DJ outfit complete with equipment. The other option is to improvise by putting your speakers at strategic points in the yard. You might need additional cables to enable the speakers to reach the farthest corner of the yard. Go through your CD collection and pick the music that your guests would love. If on self-entertainment, assign someone the responsibility of changing the CDs for continuity.

Décor

Decorate the site creatively to set the mood for a party. You could hire some deck chairs and arrange them around a fireplace; it might get cold in the evening.

Sum-up

Parties are a fantastic idea for bringing people together especially after months of hibernation. Make yours exciting by throwing weight on the preparation. Plan your menu several weeks before and include food choices that cater to different people. Drinks are a must; have some beer, wine, water, soda, and juice. Hire a DJ or provide your own music to set the party mood.
