Throwing a bounce house party is one of the easiest ways to make your kid's birthday unforgettable. Kids love them, parents love how simple they are, and the memories last forever. Here's how to plan one that goes off without a hitch.

1. Pick Your Date Early

Spring and summer weekends in Texarkana book up fast — especially June, July, and August. The earlier you lock in your date, the better your chances of getting the exact inflatable you want. We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance.

2. Choose the Right Inflatable

Think about the age range of the kids and the type of party. For younger kids (ages 3-7), a combo bounce house with a small slide is perfect. For older kids and teens, water slides and obstacle courses bring the excitement. Having a mix of ages? A combo unit covers everyone.

Birthday parties (younger kids): Combo bounce houses like the Tropical Storm or Shark Attack
Summer parties: Water slides like the Baja Splash or Riptide Rush
Big events: Obstacle course + water slide combo for maximum fun

3. Plan Your Space

Most inflatables need a flat area of at least 20x20 feet, plus access to a power outlet within 100 feet. If you're doing a water slide, you'll need a water source within 50 feet (a garden hose works great). We'll handle all the setup — just make sure the area is clear.

4. Add Concessions & Yard Games

Want to take it up a notch? Add a snow cone machine, cotton candy, or popcorn maker. Yard games like Giant Connect 4, cornhole, and Giant Jenga keep the adults entertained too. Our packages bundle everything together at a discount.

5. Day-of Tips

We arrive early for setup — you don't have to lift a finger
Have kids remove shoes, glasses, and sharp objects before jumping
Keep a cooler of water nearby — Texas heat is no joke!
Designate an adult to supervise the inflatable at all times
Take lots of photos — the smiles are priceless 📸
