Top Essentials for Kids Birthday Parties

Planning kids' birthday parties can be a great hassle, but parents always aim to do their best in order to put out an excellent event that their children and their friends will enjoy. Listed below are three birthday party essentials that will ensure a fun event that kids of all ages will not soon forget. 

Bouncy Castle

There is nothing more enjoyable for kids than to jump up and down for hours in a huge bouncing castle. Since these are expensive to buy, it is ideal to rent one for the day. There are party rental websites that offer services and supplies such as bouncy houses, and they even set it up for you to eliminate any hassle or time consuming preparations. Bouncy houses come in all shapes and sizes depending on your needs so it would be good to take note of the actual number of kids that are coming to the party. 

There are also large combo units that consist of  inflatables Midland NC a bouncy house as well as a slide and even an adjoining dunk tank. Kids like variety and getting a bouncy package will be a good choice as it ensures hours of fun and excitement for the little ones. Some party rental companies offer choices of wet and dry packages. Customers can choose to only get dry installations such as castles and slides, or take advantage of wet features as well like the dunk tank.

Concession Stands

Kids love going to the fair or the carnival, and since both are scarce in the suburbs, you will have to take the fair to the party. Concession stands are a staple in county fairs, with all the popular features such as popcorn cart, cotton candy machine, ice cream, hot dogs, and many other treats. Kids are more interested in finger foods that they can eat fast so they can go back to playing. This should eliminate, or at least reduce the need to prepare loads of food in your own kitchen. The best party rental companies also offer extra supplies such as extra snow cone servings, extra bags of popcorn, and extra servings of cotton candy. 

Generator and Lots of Ice

Ensuring uninterrupted power is necessary in every birthday party, which makes a generator invaluable. In addition, a good rule of thumb is that you can never have too much ice, especially if you intend on serving cold treats such as snow cones and ice cream. Since most party rental companies do not supply the ice for the concession stands, you have to pre-order ice cubes as well as shaved ice and make sure there is enough space in your freezer to stock the extra while the party is in full swing. 

Tip:
It is ideal to book the bouncy house/castle/slide as well as the concession stands at least six weeks in advance. Some of the best party rental companies are booked up for months so it is imperative to call in plenty of time to make sure you get the supplies on the day of the birthday party.
