This year was a big year in our house, my son was turning 5! And, he would be celebrating with the daycare friends he has been with since he was an infant for the last time since they would all part ways for different schools for kindergarten in the fall. So, when I had an opportunity to give him a party at BounceU of Annville with all of his friends, I couldn't resist!
I knew I made a wise decision right from the start, when I learned that not only did they provide BounceU paper invitations, but they also have an Evite feature that lets you do electronic invites and tracks your guests for you!
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 son and his 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 new equipment we hadn't seen at BounceU before since we had not been there since the business changed owners.
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/college students) rocked. 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.
Instead of opening gifts there, we opted to treat the kids to a fun game of Stick the Treasure Chest on the Map since we had a pirate themed party. And again, the party room had plenty of room to accommodate my son's request for the game. Then for us, hauling the gifts out to the vehicle was easy thanks to a large rolling bin that is provided for each party.
My son and all his friends had a wonderful time, and it was a great enviornment 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.
