Bouncing Birthday Fun Awaits at BounceU of Annville

February 25, 2015
I have two children, and naturally, my daughter who is the younger of the two, wants everything that her older brother gets to experience. So, when she turned five, we knew we were heading to BounceU of Annville for her birthday party - just like we had done for my son when he turned five.

There are so many things to love about birthday parties at BounceU, and I'll highlight a few of them below. But, one of my favorites about going somewhere for a birthday is that it means I don't have to clean the house before or after, or do any decorating/food preparation - I just get to enjoy the fun and make some memories with my Mini Macs!

BounceU convenience starts right at the beginning with invitations. They provide BounceU paper invitations, but they also have an Evite feature that lets you do electronic invites and track your guests' responses!

The greatest appeal to me that set BounceU apart from other similar places is the fact that it is a private party. The kids don't share a bounce stadium with other parties or a public open bounce, it was just my daughter and all her preschool friends bouncing for 75 minutes. The party opened in one bounce stadium which featured several different inflatables, including the favorite - the giant slide! 


Halfway through they changed to another stadium, which had even more awesome inflatables, including another slide, baseball and basketball games, and other places to play and slide.


After bouncing, it was time for the food! We opted to purchase pizzas (provided by Pizza Hut), but brought in our own cake from our favorite local place. The party room was just as great as the stadiums. Plenty of seating for kids and parents and very clean, plus the party pros (high school students) handled everything. They had a fun system worked out with the kids to make sure they got the right kind of pizza and drinks. The party pros even cut and served the cake, and helped make the list of the gifts my daughter received from each friend. 

Hauling the gifts out to the vehicle was easy thanks to a large rolling bin that is provided for each party, and the party pros are also great help right until the very end.

All the kids had a wonderful time and left completely exhausted. Plus it was a great chance for the parents to also relax and visit with each other while their kids played.

You can read about all of BounceU's party options on their website, including types of parties, food options and other party add-ons such as a cosmic bounce. I promise it will be a party your Mini Macaroni will not soon forget!



Disclosure: BounceU provided me a Premier Weekend Bounce Party free of charge, but food was paid by me. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.
