What to Expect at a Birthday Party



WHAT TO EXPECT:
Whatever location you use, or whether you throw the party in your own yard, you can expect a superfun family birthday with family and friends. You control all aspects of the party. Most people have a three hour party. The inflatables would be set up before the party begins, so when guests arrive, everything is perfect. Also during this set up time, family members decorate the hall and lay the tables out, and prepare the food for the party. We can be flexible with the hours. Most parties begin with playing on the inflatables for an hour, doing dinner, then Happy Birthday, then gifts. During this time, we can shut off the inflatables to reduce noise and distraction, or keep them on as you desire. This takes about 45 minutes on average. Sometimes families do a pinata, which they can hang from the basketball net. Then kids can return to the castles to play. After the three hours, the inflatables would be packed up, tables put away, and the kitchen cleaned up, all usually in half an hour. This formula for a great birthday seems to work excellently and parents of the birthday child love the whole design of the party. People love the hall, the relaxed and traditional family birthday atmosphere, and fact that it all results in very happy and tired kids.

ABOUT THE LOCATION:
We will set up anywhere you want. Halls have their own costs (follow the link). Our favourite location is Evangel Church, in any season, which books on late Saturday and Sunday evenings. We do the bookings for Evangel Church. If you are interested, please contact us, as the church will direct you back to us. Other favourite locations include West Thunder, Castlegreen, North End Rec, Urban Abbey, FWFN gymnasium and Conmee Hall (past Kakabeka). though there are some lesser known locations, we may be able to suggest on contact:
Here is an inexhaustive list.

SET UP OF THE INFLATABLES:
We are happy to set up the castles, though you might save some money by picking up, setting up, packing up and bringing back the castles yourself.

Option 1. With the small and medium sized castles, you might choose the Independent Option (for private parties only), in which you pick up, set up, pack up, and drop off the castles yourself. If you choose the independant option, you MUST watch this 6 minute video on how to pack a bouncy castle, and give us the four codes in the video.

Option 2. We deliver and set up the castles ourselves if you choose this option. We have an experienced crew happy to do the work.

TRANSPORTATION OF THE INFLATABLES:
We are happy to transport the castles, though you can save some money for the small and medium sized castles by transporting the castles yourself. The Budget castles (BlastZne, Misty Kingdom or Bouncer) can fit in a minivan (with enough room cleared). With medium castles or the Disney Castle you should use the back of an empty pickup truck or trailer.

Look up the left column for pricing if you choose the Independent Option for small and medium sized castles.

SUPERVISION OF THE INFLATABLES:
For safety reasons, each castle needs one dedicated supervisor during operation. For private parties only, by default we leave the party while it is going, and supervision becomes the responsibility of the family. For inflatable castles, we are happy to supply a supervisor for $50 per castle. Supervision means: 1. watching that children are not playing rough inside the castles, in particular, pushing and wrestling. 2. watching that children are not sliding down the big slides head first. 3. watching that children are not climbing the structures to the top, up to the meshes, or along the top walls. 4. watching that children are not bringing food, drinks, candy or gum into the castles. 5. making sure that the mats stay in place under the slides or in front of the entrances or exits.

Look up the right column for pricing to see whether supervision is included by default.
