My son won't go in them. He's not at all shy or overly cautious, so I think maybe it has to do with the generator noise and enclosed space. Other kids clearly love them, so if you want one, go for it, but it would be nice to have another activity too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489314 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:50:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1489314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: where I live the they are $285-350 for a weekend day rental </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489257 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:34:19 +0000 Boogs 1489257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Costco sometimes sells them, a little smaller than the ones you rent, but they are basically the price of the rental.</p> <p>@autumnlove: Anytime I've seen a bounce house at a party, it has NEVER sat empty. They are always a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489172 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:09:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1489172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any idea how much they roughly cost? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489126 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:54:04 +0000 chopsuey 1489126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do it!!! i plan on renting in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489116 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:49:05 +0000 cheert16 1489116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend has one for her kids and she is letting us borrow it for LO's first birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489108 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:47:27 +0000 brownie 1489108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought about renting but ultimately bought one for $200 instead and he bounces on it in the garage all the time. Best purchase. It would have been $150 to rent and we could only use it once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489075 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:35:23 +0000 shinymama 1489075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and they've always been a hit - especially with the 2+ set. {I think the little-little ones get scared and overwhelmed.}</p> <p>@mamimami: They usually pick them up late in the evening, so once it gets dark my DH and his friends play in it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489074 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:34:59 +0000 autumnlove 1489074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489060 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:32:04 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1489060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are super popular here. For some reason Little Boy doesn't like them, but I have been to enough parties to know he is an anomaly and most kids Love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1489051 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:28:49 +0000 mamimami 1489051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we got three for my husband's b-day (hahaha yes! you know you are an old family man when you have bounce houses for kids at your 40th birthday!!)

Huge hit for the kids AND parents - as one friend put it, its like a cage for her kids and she actually got to enjoy the party!</p> <p>I'll consider doing it again next year if I see a Groupon even though DS is so not interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1488996 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:15:05 +0000 stargal 1488996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: you prob won't even see the kiddos the whole time at the party BC they will be in the bounce house ;).

The little ones loved it and the bigger kids (3-6) loved it too. Another big hit was a person who did face paint - she did really simple stuff and painted it on their hands or face...like a butterfly, frog, cupcake, hearts, balloons, etc</p> <p>My neighbor rents one for her kids party in the summer and it's always a big hit too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-rented-a-bounce-house-for-a-party#post-1488965 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:02:49 +0000 autumnlove 1488965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get one for my LO's first birthday since we will have a handful of 3-6 year olds at the party!</p> <p>Did you rent one? Hit or miss? </p>
