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.

If you ever find yourself reminiscing about the carnival, you most likely will remember the rides, the smell of the cotton candy and caramel apples and the stuffed animal you got after ten attempts at throwing a ring around the bottle. In fact, if you’ve ever attended a carnival or fair, you know the games are one of the best reasons to go to these places. Here’s a walk down memory lane that will help you remember the awesome times you had either as a kid or as a parent.

South Florida is full of fun especially when you visit one of the local carnivals in town. Other than the ring toss, one game you might remember is Dart Throw where there are several balloons tacked to a board, and if you break one, you get a prize. Seems easy enough, right? Think again. It never seemed like it was a quick try toward successfully bursting one of these inflatables. This game is by far a favorite among carnival goers everywhere.

Next in line for the games favored by millions is the shooting gallery. Before there were video games, we used to take our chances at winning prizes by shooting a toy rifle from a bar stool. That game is still found today at many of the local charity and fundraising events hosted by the cities throughout the state of Florida. Gotta love those characters or ducks that move around on the conveyor belt as well.

In addition to the more typical games found at the carnival, Skeeball continues to be a top-choice in both indoor and outdoor parks. Not surprising as you roll one of the balls up toward the rings to get a nice surprise. Who can’t enjoy this game of pure skill?

One of the newest attractions you’ll find is our inflatable obstacle course where players are challenged with things like balance and stamina as a revolving pole tries to knock components over. Not only is this a game of fun, but it’s also a game to be an observer. You’ll have a great time watching the complicated moves each contestant should make to stay in the match.

These, of course, are just a few of the favorites for you to reminisce. Keep your eyes on the prize and just remember we’re only a phone call away from making your event one remember with a bounce house, obstacle course or waterslide!

Drive through just about any neighborhood park or recreation center, and you’ll see the groves of people hanging out, grilling and having fun. In addition to the community, the beaches are full of families who are celebrating their togetherness. One thing sure is South Florida is full of family events including reunions and why shouldn’t it be? With warm weather, plenty of sunshine and beautiful landscape it’s the ideal place for every type of party. In this blog, we point out some excellent tips for planning your family reunion that will keep you smiling in the sun!

Most reunions tend to be an annual event. But, if this is a new tradition you’re starting, you may want to give you family plenty of time to plan. Preplanning is crucial and applies in particular if there will be people flying in or driving long distances. Contact the local hotels to see if they offer any group discounts. In most cases, they will allow such a thing if there are multiple families lodging at the same time.

Next, plan your reunion carefully. If you don’t want the Hatfields and the McCoys starting family world war III, then be sure to invite those who can attend in harmony. In many instances, these are family gatherings that allow families to reconnect and that’s the whole idea.

In addition to your guest list, be sure to plan a great meal with all the fixings. Be sure to consider religious and food preferences as not everyone enjoys the same types of diet.  A great place to find excellent recipes for these kinds of parties is Pinterest and Martha Stewart’s Online site.

Besides the food, don’t forget games and activities. Keep the party going by offering both kids, and adult themed features such as charades, twenty questions to bounce houses and waterslides. The more thought and planning you do, the more successful your family’s event will become.

For more ideas about planning your next event including fundraisers and church bazaar’s, we’ve got a huge selection of party favors. With a little help and a large selection, you can have the best family reunion yet to come.

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.

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!
