5 Arts and Craft Party Ideas for Your Kids

It seems there are a plethora of ideas when it comes to your child’s birthday parties. Visit places like Michael’s Crafts or Pinterest, and you can quickly be overwhelmed by the multitude of favors to recipes from people like Mommy Bloggers to manufacturers. In fact, there are so many different themes, it’s astounding. However, one idea that seems to be sweeping South Florida children’s events is one we’re highlighting in this week’s blog. The Art Party is all encompassing when it comes to loads of activity and fun for your celebrations.

Tip 1.) Go to your local craft or dollar store and buy a few plastic palettes used for mixing craft paint. Use this to decorate cupcakes by adding fun toppings such as sprinkles and edible glitter. Kids love to decorate their food with interesting products.

Tip 2.) Pick Your Craft Activity Carefully. Which art you choose can be rather tricky as you know because kids tend to spill, break and do all kinds of thing that can make a mess. If the paint is going to be used look for something that’s non-toxic. Put tarps down from the Home Depot or Lowes to secure flooring from becoming a hot mess, and keep plenty of large garbage bags around.

Tip 3.) Set up Work Stations. Have parents help out at multiple tables with different crafts at each one. Having several stations allows each child to work on a couple of various works and it also keeps the party moving. If you are going to have a few different craft tables, be sure to keep the crafts simple. If it’s too complicated, you might lose their attention. But, you might also lose your mind.

Tip 4.) Decorate with Interesting party favors, such as streamers, tissue paper flowers, and a cute banner. Use vinyl paper instead of crepe paper or poster board for a durable yet waterproof surface.

Tip 5.) Assign a clean-up crew to help you. If there’s going to be other parents around, give each person a unique cleaning task to make your party end a happy one.

By following these quick and easy steps, your child’s arts and crafts party will be a huge success. Another great point to make is while your kids are outside playing in one of our fabulous inflatables, you can kick back and relax after a birthday well done.

Until next time, be sure to contact us directly for your largest selection in Bounce Houses, Waterslides and more.

OMG! 5 of The Best Fundraisers Ever!

When it comes to organizing fundraisers, there’s are almost too many options, making it a challenge for event planners. There’s everything from silent auctions to kiss offs and pretty much everything in between. We can appreciate how finding the right fundraiser can make or break your non-profit or charitable cause. So, to help you out, we’ve put together five of the best fundraisers to help launch your thoughts.

  1. Garage Sales
  2. Silent Auctions
  3. Sporting Event
  4. Scavenger Hunt
  5. Bean Bath

Garage sales are one of the best ways to raise funds for your philanthropy causes fast. Organize a location, collect the items for the sale and then, start meeting your goals. In some cases, this type of sale, can raise in the ballpark of $1000 or more even if you select one day for the event. Any leftover items can be donated to thrift stores or other non-profit organizations.

Next, is the Silent Auction. It’s profound how much someone may be willing to bid on your old junk. Don’t forget, you can organize an event such as an auction by creating the event page on Facebook or Google Hangouts. Wait till you see how quickly your goal is met.

In addition to silent auctions, sporting events have become rather popular with fundraising efforts. Get together celebrities from your schools or churches and the local community, sell tickets and paraphernalia and watch the crowd go live! These types of competitions are not only a great way to raise capital, they’re super fun to attend.

Now that we’ve discussed a few obvious events to raise money for your charity, think a little more on the ingenious side by hosting a scavenger hunt. Don’t forget to include local businesses who may want to donate products or services such as dinner for two at a local restaurant. These events used to more popular and now are making a comeback.

Lastly, some may find this fundraiser a little on the crazy side. But, let’s face it when it comes to raising money, crowds love to see people squirm. Just picture your principals or teachers having to step into a tub filled with Pork and Beans. What a hoot!

These fundraisers always work best when they’re well planned and include other activities or attractions such as bounce houses and waterslides, so don’t forget to include us!

We hope these suggestions have sparked some ideas and will help you raise money to meet your organizations goals. Let us know how they worked out for you if you decide to take our bouncing advice!

Retirement Party? Don’t forget the Kids!

It seems that many of us today are constantly on the go. When it comes to planning a party or an event, it makes perfect sense to work smart and not hard. Whether you’re organizing your child’s graduation party or a retirement party for your elderly father, it’s important to remember the kids. Rather than sticking them in another room with their video games, why not open the party for participation amongst all ages? In this week’s blog, we’ve got a few tricks to show you how.

Children tend to get bored easily, and in most cases, parents won’t even want to bring them to an adult themed party. However, today’s society has changed, and it’s more common now to invite the whole family rather than just colleagues and co-workers to such a milestone event. The biggest dilemma and one that is often overlooked is what to do for entertainment? One of our first solutions is, of course, to introduce you to the idea of having a bounce house on site. Whether it’s set up in a front yard or at a park, this is the main attraction amongst both kids and adults.

Next would be a waterslide. Since you live in a place like South Florida, it only makes sense to cool everyone off in the hot tropical weather with a splash of fun. While the children are out having, fun playing in the water, the adults can focus on telling stories about the guest of honor’s accomplishments. Think about it. This is the perfect solution to eliminating whining kids during grandfather’s speech.

Lastly, we’d like to mention; our obstacle courses are an excellent way for adults to participate and compete. As a corporate event planner, you can incorporate some team building skills along with saying goodbye to the employee. Using our many features at your next grown-up party will not only show you’re organized and can handle some pretty unusual tasks, but it will also make you a company hero!

Whether you’re looking to facilitate a phenomenal adult party or one where kids are involved, we have a multitude of solutions to make the day enjoyable for everyone. Contact our staff who specialize in celebrating to make your next party or even a smashing one!

Don’t forget to ask us about table and chair rentals too!

Most Expensive Kid Parties in the World!

It’s safe to say that most of us parents wants what’s best for our children. We work hard to give them whatever they want or desire, and that is especially true when it comes to birthdays, graduations, and any other event. Don’t feel bad if you’re still paying off your credit card from your son’s 5th birthday even if he’s in his twenties. If you think you may have overdone it or are curious what the affluent spend on their children’s parties, then read on.

  • The first major expensive blowout party that comes to mind is Elizabeth Brooks where her loving father spent a ballpark of $10 million. His baby girl was turning 13 so David Brooks hired a few bands such a 50 Cent and Aerosmith to party it up with his kid. Insanely enough the cost of the private jet was 1/10 of the budget on Brook’s plane. Next time you open your checkbook, think about the Brooks and tell yourself, you’re getting a deal.
  • If Chuck E Cheese is more your speed, then this next citing will certainly blow you away. Just imagine Wolfgang Puck whipping up tacos in your kitchen. Tom Cruise threw daughter Siri Cruise her second birthday that included butterflies and Puck catering. Insane in the membrane Tom.
  • Granted your kid is graduating is a huge deal. Without a doubt, many of us are thriving on the idea; they will get jobs one day. However, DJ Cuppy must have been proud when he rented the entire restaurant for daughter, Otedola’s big day. Forget the bar be cue; I want what they’re having at $200 a plate! This place is so Boosie; world-renowned Chef Alain Ducasse is the head of the kitchen. Must say, impressive.
  • Just like the graduating kid theory, equally is the wedding for your child. The tradition of the bride’s parents flipping the bill for the ceremonies is one alive today. However, not too many parents can say they fronted $7 million dollars making it one of the most expensive weddings for the US. Although it might be safe to guess, many of these parties rented entertainment of some type we just wonder if any of these parties included bounce houses? We’d like to think they did.

If you’d like to learn more about these parties, visit the individual links to their stories. These are all excellent ways to celebrate, even those with a budget can agree, it’s not the party, it’s how much you love them that counts.

Hot Tips for the Best Quinceanera

Your daughters Quinceanera is one of the biggest parties you’ll ever throw. From the dress to the entertainment, this is one of those times in your child’s life where you get to shine. The fiesta where a young girl becomes a woman is told in many cultures. If you’re from Latin roots, then you know this festival is called a quinceañera. In this week’s blog, we give you some hot tips on how to throw the best quinceañera.

  1. Decor and Color schemes are mostly pastels for the Little ladies. This year the hottest tip we can give you on decor and dress colors is peach and gold. While there are many gorgeous colors to choose, this seems to be the best for 2017 parties.

 

  1. Help your daughter with her guest list. Unless you have all the money in the world, don’t let your child announce her Quinceanera on places like Facebook. This is a big party where the parents have to be involved in the majority of the planning. Help your child by making a guest list with family and a separate column for friends.

 

  1. It’s all about the lighting when it comes to the decor. Glowing orbs, draping lights over a large dance floor and candles give just the right illumination for a festive evening that’s soft and pretty and super feminine.

 

  1. Selecting the right photographer is crucial. Your daughter’s event should be captured with someone who understands lighting as well as how to frame your princess. These pictures will last forever, so make sure you don’t miss the event.

 

  1. Don’t forget to remember the little ones. While this party is typically thought to be for young teenage girls, often the toddlers and the smaller children are left in the dust. Rent the best bounce house, and they’ll be out of everyone’s way for hours.

 

These are just a few tips on how to throw the best celebration for your daughter. We’re sure you want to make this event as special as possible since it only happens once in a lifetime for her.

And before you know it, she’ll be getting married, and you’ll get to do it all again.

8 Steps to Planning Your Child’s Bat Mitzvah

Many of the Bat Mitzvahs today are now being designed with extraordinary features and festivities. Although this is still respect for the young woman and more so, the religion there’s plenty of reasons to celebrate. We wanted to put together a few tips that should help you when planning your child’s to helping your daughter enjoy this milestone without you heading for the hills.

While the exact meaning mustn’t be misled, celebrating your child’s Bat Mitzvah can be both exciting as it can be nerve wrecking. With these quick tips, you can turn you daughter’s celebration into one she will never forget. Ready, set Mazal Tov!

  1. Challah bread Ceremony
  2. Lighting of the Shabbat Candles
  3. Prayer
  4. Set a meaningful activity such as volunteering to help someone in need.
  5. Your Daughters Speech
  6. Gifts
  7. Kosher Foods to be served
  8. The party

Since the making of the Challah is an important part of the ceremonies, plan your recipe ahead of time and don’t forget to take pictures as the first time your daughter is breaking bread as a woman. You can find plenty of recipes online or perhaps you have one handed down for generations, either way, help your little girl to know how special she is and how important carrying tradition is to her personal connection.

Lighting the candles are another part of this time for young girls to know the significance of the mitzvah. Check YouTube for the proper method of lighting the candles if you’re unsure.

Prayer is an obvious part of the preparations. Since women were the first to teach prayer, it’s important to continue to carry out the religious aspects and what daily prayer can mean.

Volunteering your services isn’t only a great trait to teach our young girls today, it’s also good to set the tone of reminding our daughters how important they are. But, by reaching out to others in need, it provides the lesson of grace and love.

Giving a speech is a part of the mitzvah, and your daughter may have a hard time if she’s shy. Help her out by assuring her you were the same and gave her confidence to accomplish this task.

Gifts to give at a Bat Mitzvah can vary but most common would be money and religious gifts. Don’t forget the rule of 18 which is very popular. Beautiful candlesticks make wonderful and suitable gifts, but they often come from the parents or grandparents.

We’ve seen a real variety of foods served at these types of celebrations. Of course, it’s good to have cake and pastries but keep in mind the rest of the food should be kosher.

The party can include beautiful decorations, inflatable rentals and lots of cool grab bags to pass out to guests. This is the part where you can become creative, and your guests will love it. More importantly, your daughter will remember this celebration for years to come.

Be sure to contact us for items you may need such as tables, chairs and of course an excellent bounce house rental!

Parent Teacher Fundraising the South Florida Bounce Way

It’s safe to guess that every school year can be filled with lots of fun and activities filling up the calendar. If you have the honor of serving on the board or committee that’s involved with planning events, then this blog is for you. We want to give you a plethora of tricks to store in your fundraising toolbox that will keep things bouncing as well as have the kids wanting more.

Fundraisers don’t just have to be carnivals. Although the school carnival or bazaars are some of the most memorable, they’re not the only sure fire to raise money. On the contrary to the memories, things like restaurant fundraisers, Family School Nights and Auctions have become more popular over the years. In other words, don’t box yourself into thinking there’s only one type of fundraiser. Visit places like Pinterest to get in depth ideas with all the details if you’re in a rut.

Next, if you’re raising money for a cause, be sure to have a dollar amount in mind and set this as the school’s goals. Keeping a mile mark in the front of the line can help lead the others to be motivated and wanting to attend.

Use Choice Boards as a way of getting your student body to be involved. Give them choices for committees to belong to, such as clean up committee, set up, facilitators, and student body council. This idea will not only help you to get things done, but it will also ensure kids will feel they are relevant to the cause.

If you’re looking for an easier method than throwing a big ole celebration, then consider doing a candy drive or some other sales event where the kids will raise foundation funds. Large enterprises such as See’s Candy and Krispy Kreme has excellent ways to build your teams dollars. You’ll, of course, must contact them directly for more details.

We love the idea of facilitating a Pancake Breakfast or a Family School Night. Of course, you can plan a Pancake Breakfast anytime of the day or night but most likely would be on a morning weekend. With Family School Night, you can expect a big screen movie showing along with popcorn sales and have the parents and kids wear pajamas! With nighttime attire, both parents and kids can jump into bed right after the film.

These are some of the less obvious ways to build a trust for your school or board. By thinking outside of the usual, you can learn a lot of ridiculous ideas. Of course, you can always call us for making your party spectacular!

Catch you next time!

Teaching Kids Respect in 2017

It seems that today our children have acquired some advanced skills. Indeed, times have changed, and much of the technology we have now wasn’t available to us when we were younger. But, with all the smartphone and electronics in the world, not one device can teach a child to be respectful of others. While you may not have thought about how renting our interactive inflatables or bounce houses can teach kids how to be respectful, we’re here to point out the difference.

In fact, children can acquire new learned behavior while having fun in our many bounce houses, water slides, and carnival games. While we praise the parents, who rent any of our party favors, we give even more kudos to the folks who not only use these tools to have fun but to teach their kids how to engage with others by building team skills. Here are a few things to keep in mind while teaching your child how to be respectful even if it is 2017!

Call the kid out on their behavior if you notice that a child is disrespectful while standing in the line or during their activity. There’s no need to embarrass them in front of the other guests, but pull them aside and express how to handle the situation better and in a positive manner. If you only ignore the problem while they’re young, it will turn into a fiasco later.

Make sure the other parent, teachers or participants are in agreeance on how to handle the situation. Give the child the consequences, but also provide them with a plan of action and be sure to back one another on the decisions.

Teaching a child, the basic social interaction skills can be tough at times. While many of us may agree on that statement, it’s still important to teach them how to say “please” and “thank you.” This can teach children how to pay attention to others and not feel they are the most important thing on the planet. Disrespecting others is a form of bad manners that’s a reflection on how a child is raised.

Set realistic expectations and respect your child. You can’t teach a kid how to respect someone by being disrespectful to them. Give them realistic expectations by setting limits ahead of time. Make sure they understand these limitations early before things have an opportunity to escalate.

Learning how to help your kid cope with their emotions is not easy, but it can be one of the best lessons he or she will learn and use throughout life.

If you’re looking to rent any of our interactive sports, be sure to give us a call and find out which is best for your party or event. Until next time, Happy Bouncing to You!

Last Minute Superbowl Party Preparations for 2017

As we all know Superbowl LI is soon to be underway with kickoff on February 5th. If you’re like many Americans who love their football, you’ve probably got your guests lined up, grocery list done and are heading into your last-minute details before the first touchdown is scored. If there will be kids at your party have you put your play by play strategy into place? We’ve got some in the ‘nick of time’ details you won’t want to miss that will turn your Superbowl Party into a Super fun party no matter what age range is present! 24, 36, Hut!!!

While we all know, Superbowl parties can be a hoot if you enjoy watching hours of pigskin getting kicked across the field. However, kids can be a handful during these games, and they aren’t always the center of attention while watching the half-time show. We have a solution for you, and it’s not too late to take advantage.

Just in time for the game, you can count on South Florida Bounce to bring you some ‘kid entertainment’ that can keep them pre-occupied while adults yell at their favorite quarterbacks. Waterslide and our Rock Climbing Wall are all standards for children’s parties but don’t forget we have some other cool games where the little ones can feel they’re part of the event.

Games like our Football Challenge and the Human Demolition Ball can make even the dullest of parties come to life. While the parents are indoors watching the big competition and America’s favorite past time, your sons and daughters can be enjoying the fun right in your backyard.

Got a kid that’s in Little League Football? Help them improve their skills the same day as the game. Any of our interactive games can teach the players to be a part of a team and make quick decisions in addition to using motor skills.

While we don’t suggest allowing the kids to be unattended, we do agree that this is one excellent idea that will keep your offense and defensive little leaguers in check. Furthermore, your thoughtfulness toward making sure EVERYONE has a good time will most likely get you a trophy as Most Valuable Parent!

Contact us today for the best selection of Bounce Houses, Waterslides and Interactive Sports.
