Party Planning--Bouncy Castle Rental?
We're having a "Meet the Baby" party here at our house at the end of July and we thought it would be fun to rent a bouncy castle. Does anyone have a place they'd suggest to rent from? Also, anyone ever rented a cotton candy machine? Are they pretty easy to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So What Happened?™
We ended up renting from www.magicbounce.com and it was a hit! I'd highly recommend it for a party where there will be a lot of kids. They delivered, set-up, and took it down as part of the rental fee. Also, we rented a sno-kone machine (it was SUPER hot!) and that was also a big winner.

funrental.com or look under dexonline.com and look under any party supply business,most of them rent them, but cost varies. i looked for rentals for my daughter, price range was $100 - $150+, you have to pick up at most places and the inflateable can be huge! also you have to have a certain amount of electric power to run.
have fun, good luck!

Yes, Ruddy's rental rents them out fairly reasonable. I know they also have a cotton candy machine for about $30 or so. They are located in Forest Lake near Hwy. 97 and Hwy. 61.

Check out Jumpityjump.com or ###-###-####. The owner's name is Tom and they have great quality and clean bouncy castles. You can see all their options on their web site. We have used them 3 times as have many friends. Good luck.

I'm in Andover and our Block Party and many of our neighbors use Kiddie Jumps. They have good prices. There is also a place called Jumpity Jump, but I don't know of anyone that has used them because Kiddie Jumps is so much cheeper, but I believe they deliever to the Blaine Area. As far as the Cotton Candy Machine...cool idea, but, can't help you there. Good luck.

My kids just received a bouncy castle as a gift...they now sell them at Target, etc. Ours is called a Bounce 'Round. I think they cost about $150 (not sure how much a rental is?). You just plug it in and the little blower thing blows it up in about 45 seconds. I think 3 or 4 little kids can fit at a time. It comes with a storage bag too. We have had it only a month but it is so great to have when cousins come over, or for play dates, etc.
