Labor Day Party Ideas

The Labor Day weekend is fast approaching and you probably have no idea what to do to celebrate. Remember, Labor Day should be all about food, family and fun, not necessarily in that order. If you plan on throwing a Labor Day party, we are all about getting you all the best and fun ideas for your party. Here is a list of our top 5 favorite party ideas for the long Labor Day weekend.

  1. Host a clambake

Nothing screams long Labor Day Weekend than a ton of seafood in the shade of a summer day. All you will need is your backyard and a shallow pit to do your clambake in. Additionally, you should visit the farmers market to get your fresh ingredients before your clambake. Ensure that you get loads of potatoes, clams, lobster, and some fresh seaweed to cover your clambake in. Some fresh corn is also a must for a rocking clambake Labor Day Party!

  1. Throw a pool party

Nothing beats spending the summer in a cooling pool all day, whilst sipping refreshing cocktails and hanging out with friends. A pool party is the ultimate way to end the summer holiday with a bang. And why not add some pizzazz to your pool party by renting any one of our waterslides for a splash like no other!

  1. Have a cook-out

Grilling some fresh corn on the cob, steaks and marinated chicken thighs sounds like the perfect plan for your Labor Day party. Why don’t you get some friends together and get the lads hanging out at the grill while the ladies prep the drinks to go with your grilled feast? A cook-out is a great way to host a Labor Day party as it will allow lots of banter during the food prep and it will carry on into the night as you sit down to enjoy your food and drinks.

  1. Host an outdoor movie night

Going out to the movies sounds like a plan, but why don’t you consider renting a movie and calling over a few friends? Make it a more authentic experience by hiring our food machines such as the Hot Dog Roller and the Popcorn Machine for bottomless snacks during your movie marathon. Furthermore, you can also hire our Snow Cone machine which comes with 60 servings of the cooling treat for a hot summer night.

  1. Dance the night away

Dancing the Labor Day weekend through is such a fun way to consider spending your holiday before the end of summer break. Plan a night of dancing out on the patio and let it spill over into the backyard. Do you know what will make it even more fun? Include one of our giant backyard pool slides to add to the fun. Be sure to have tons of water for hydration and a selection of snacks from our array of food vending machines for hire.

These cool Labor Day Party ideas should help you settle on a great party to remember for everyone. Furthermore, ensure that you visit our products page to see just how many different items we have for you to turn your ordinary party into a crowd-pleaser.

Video Game Addiction

Is there that one level of development that is getting in your child’s way of life? Many parents struggle with the addiction of their children to video games. While video games were considered a significant aspect of personal development as well as an activity for passing time, they have become completely addictive. So, how do you establish the line between video games as fun or as a problem?

Usually, video games were an activity that children undertook in dingy basements, or in bombastic arcades and family vacation car. Parents nowadays cannot escape their far-reaching grasps –they are available online, in tablets, phones, and computers. While smartphones have made it convenient to access video games, they are also to blame for opening a platform where video games come with the bad.

Video games are addictive

Children no longer want to go outside to play. Video games are gradually cutting off their social lives. The majority of them prefer staying indoors to play the games as opposed to playing outside. If you are noticing a trend where your children are into playing video games more than doing their chores or reading, it is highly likely that you are witnessing a sobering possibility of video game addiction.

How to get the kids outside

There is no denying that kids nowadays want to spend every second playing video games. While video games may not be necessarily having a negative impact on your child, a new study on the impacts of video games on children’s behavior revealed that with moderation, video games are actually good.

How then do you get the kids away from their video games?

  • Have occasional outside play dates

Children are fond of places where they get to engage in their favorite activities. An outdoor play date could just fit the part. Make sure that your kids get to meet their friends, perhaps in a lake, creek, or even a park. South Florida Bounce has all that you need for such a play date –bounce house, tents, chairs, and other services.

  • Provide other play items

Tablets, phones, and computers are not the only child’s play gadget you can get. If you wish to get your children outside to play, ensure that you have other items of play with such as buckets, sidewalk chalk, and balls. Such toys will give them a motivation to play outside.

  • Limit their video game involvement

Kids can play video games the whole day. As such, it is important for parents to have a schedule for their kids’ amount of time on screens. Ensure that they spend less time on the games and encourage them to engage in other activities.

  • Increase the child’s level of independence while outside

It always gets fun for the kids when they exercise their independence while outdoors. In most of the cases, children would wish to play more outside the house if they notice that they can achieve the independence they want. However, make sure that you keep them under watch.

Video game addiction is a real problem and it is the role of the parents to ensure that the kids get involved outside the house. Providing alternatives to playing video games is a significant way to succeed in getting kids to play outside.

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.

Host a Labor Day BBQ Right!

Ahhh the smell of food grilling and the excitement from the last of the fireworks, you know Labor Day is here once again. If you plan on hosting a barbeque this year, then we’ve got three excellent tips to make your event incredible. From the corn on the stick to a good dessert, South Florida Bounce has the answers to do it up right!

First tip: Be Prepared! Since we are knee deep into hurricane season in South Florida, be sure to have a weather app with notifications. Apps such as Accuweather help to keep you alert when there’s rough terrain ahead when it comes to rain or shine. Be sure to plan your party centered around things like the heat index and any other issues that could arise. We Floridians know and plan accordingly with an alternative to taking the fun outdoors. Don’t limit your fun, just be sure to prepare to host indoors if you get washed out. For instance, host a Wii tournament or some other contest that’s suitable for the indoor activity.

Next tip: Invite old friends and get re-acquainted. If there’s someone you haven’t had the time to see in a while, then ask them to join. Keeping friendships is important no matter who you are, and a BBQ is the ideal setting for sparking up some memories and conversation. Don’t wait until the other holidays when life’s events can get hectic. Besides, everyone loves a good backyard celebration.

Third tip: Include games, swimming, and waterslides. The difference between a good BBQ and a GREAT BBQ, is always the entertainment. In fact, we may be guessing a bit, but not too many people enjoy hearing from their kids “Mom, Dad, I’m bored.” Be sure to keep them occupied with more than the grown-up talk. Having the right mix of activities and people makes all the difference in the world when planning a BBQ.

Make the last big party of the summer, one your guests always remember. Don’t be alarmed with back to school plans or anything else. Just grab a tall cold drink, eat some char-broiled grub and stay happy. Afterall, it won’t be long now before you can start planning for the holiday parties.

Why Kid’s Love Waterslides in South Florida

When you live in a place such as South Florida, summertime means ‘turn up the heat’! One sure fire retreat we all make is to run for the beach or swimming pool. However, another tool to keep kids pre-occupied while avoiding the meltdown of the summer weather is to indulge in recreational entertainment such as waterslides. Whether you go to a waterslide park or you rent an inflatable for an event, one thing is sure; kids love this type of activity. In this week’s blog, we highlight a few reasons why.

Kids Love Butterflies in Their Tummies!

From the rush of the first leap to the giant splash at the end, kids are just drawn to this type of water sport. In fact, theme parks are busy year around with smiling faces that are making the summer blues diminish. From the Twister to the Hulk, the drops alone make anyone get the butterflies in their tummies. Perhaps this is one of the biggest reasons why kids love to take that leap of fate and enjoy these crazy rides? That churning feeling that is deep inside your stomach tickles! In fact, most people enjoy that thrill, and that could be one of the biggest factors why kids love the waterslide. It’s a rush, and who doesn’t want to indulge in that activity?

Children Can Use their Outside Voices

Next, the reason why kids love water slides is the fact they can let go and be themselves. Children can be loud, scream and use their outside voices rather than having to contain. A waterslide is a place to have crazy amounts of fun, so let the kids ”let loose” and be loud!

Most Children Love to be Social

Other than being loud and juiced up with laughter, waterslides introduce team building and etiquette. Most people want a chance to belong to something. As humans, we enjoy being social and look forward to mingling nine times out of 10. Boys and girls both love the interaction they get from socializing with their best friends and playmates, so a waterslide is an ideal solution to break the ice and let loose!

Parents Love Waterslides Too!

Besides letting go, a waterslide can teach children how to have fun while being courteous. While our kids tend to find new ways to be kind, and hobnob, parents can also keep the company of those around them making waterslides more meaningful for all.

Lastly, the real reason kids love water slides is because of the pure necessity of just having fun!

Unique Gift Ideas for Girls & Boys Birthday Parties 2017

When it comes to your children, there may not be a lot of guessing on the type of gifts they want. Kids tend to be very vocal in letting parents know what they want as their first gift choices. But, for another child, it may be a bit more challenging. We’ve compiled a list of some of the hottest gift ideas for both boys and girls that might give you some grand ideas and look like a complete hero.

Girls 4-6

Pull up any Walmart or Target ad and your choices are overwhelming. However, some of the hottest trends you’ll find for girls between the ages of 4-6 is are Shopkins and anything from Disney’s movie “Frozen.” One tip to keep in mind is to contact the parents before purchasing these items since there may be a good chance they’ve already got them. Also, either one of these brands does offer a wide selection with this theme. Any young girl will be dazzled when opening these gifts as they are two of the biggest toys to sell this summer.

Girls 8-11

It seems like girls in the age category enjoy crafting. Bead kits can be found on places like Amazon, or your local craft store like Michaels. You really can’t go wrong with this type of gift at this age, as young girls enjoy working with their hands.

Girls 12-16

This age group is a bit trickier as this is also the time where gifts become pricey. If you’re looking to get a gift for a girl between 12-16, think about gift cards. Gift cards are always a good selection because the kid can buy what they want.

Boys 4-6

Kids between the age of 4-6 are practicing things like hand to eye coordination as well as their motor skills. These children tend to enjoy working with their hands and building things. Lego Blocks, toys with gears or pieces where they must think and make are most enjoyed. Another idea for your consideration is drawing or painting kits. Children of all ages love to be artistic, and at this age, their minds are free to imagine and explore. Art Boxes tend to be great presents for both boys and girls in this age category.

Boys 8-11

These little tikes are more advanced than the other the post-toddlers. They enjoy sports, video gaming and a variety of other activities. The key word is ‘active.’ This year we’ve seen many kids wanting Drones and Quadcopters to fly around. Although it’s a great gift, you may want to check with the parents as these toys can sometimes cause a problem.

Boys 12-16

This age group presents a little more challenge. But, one item that is flying off the shelves is GeekerCity’s Mini Flying RC Drone. This cool gadget changes colors, and it’s safe to use. The price point is excellent too under $20.

While these are just a few of the toys listed for boys and girls, there’s plenty of great ideas you can explore. We hope you find this blog helpful.

The Ideal Pajama Party for Kids

Who can forget the fond memories of your first pajama party? When it comes to being a kid, these are one of the most exciting events you’ll ever remember. As parents, it’s our job to be sure these sleep-over gatherings are safe, fun and memorable. In this blog, we point out how to throw the pajama party of a lifetime that’s also ideal for you.

Plan Your Child’s P.J. Party Carefully

When it comes to planning your child’s pajama party, plan carefully. Things like snacks, where to sleep and who to invite are part of what makes your son or daughters slumber party a success. Invite the wrong mix of kids, or leave the activities up to your kids and his or her friends could end in disaster. Involve your children when prepping for the gathering. Make a list of what the night will entail such as watching movies, playing games and serving snacks are all a part of the organization for a big success.

Designate a Time for Pick-Up and Delivery of Each Guest

Everyone in the neighborhood has that one kid who moves in temporarily. While one extra child may not seem all that bad, if 12 kids were hanging out at your house hours after the party is over, you may get a bit cramped. Be sure to facilitate appropriate times for pick up and drop off so you can get on with your life!

Think Outside of the Box or Your Child’s Bedroom

Sleeping arrangements can be ultra-fun and easy if you think outside of your child’s bedroom. Pitch a tent in the backyard, or on the living room floor, make tepees and use decorative lights to make it more festive, throw sleeping bags on the floor, whatever you do, be sure to make it special. You’ll be much happier as your kid’s room might have a chance at staying clean!

Planning any child’s birthday party can be fun and enjoyable when planned properly. Visit places like Pinterest and Martha Stewart for more details and ideas.

If you’re anticipating a larger event, don’t hesitate to call us for our inflatable selection. We’ve got the largest selection in South Florida for Bounce House Rentals, Obstacle Courses and Waterslides. Call for your kid’s big day, you’ll be their hero.

Plan Your Party at a Local South Florida Park

When it comes to South Florida, one thing you can bet on is there are a plethora of parks to plan your next party. There’s more than enough of these natural jewels are filled with tropical brush, lots of wildlife and of course plenty of acreages to set up even the biggest events. Planning your party is important especially if you project throwing your celebration outdoors. Here are some tips for you to consider if you are expected to organize at one of the many national parks nature centers.

The first thing you’ll want to do is reserve a pavilion if you plan on hosting a large enough party. Not all parks have pavilions which can make things challenging. Give yourself ample time to locate one of these structures as they tend to get booked very fast. In most cases, there is a cost associated and the fees can vary from park to park.

Next, plan your menu with the idea the food should not carry dairy or anything that can quickly spoil in hot temperatures. Many of the caterers will supply the correct equipment to keep food cold or hot. Be sure to plan accordingly for both grilling’s. Some parks will not allow outside grills so to be sure to call ahead of time.

Once you’ve secured the locations and planned the food, be sure to pay attention to signs for predators. It seems strange to mention such a thing, but we should remember safety first. Snakes and alligators are present in most of the places where these natural parks are built so take the extra precaution necessary to keep friends and family safe.

In addition to the elements at the park, don’t forget to check the weather. We Floridians understand weather can change quickly and we must remember to take care. Be sure there are solid structures or leave the party if it becomes threatening with things like lightning.

Besides the weather, animals and your planning, remember to keep America beautiful and always clean up afterward. While there’s plenty of trash cans and other devices that will help you, do not forget to bring a few extra trash bags and leave the park like it was when you got there.

Don’t forget; we’ve got the best selection of bounce houses and obstacle courses ideal for park settings. We’ll be happy to assist you with the planning.

Be sure to contact us for any further questions on making your visit at the park and planning your gathering a success.
