Pro Tips

FROM PARENTS WHO'VE BEEN THERE

📸 Photo Strategy

Take group photos in the first 15 minutes — kids are cleanest and most cooperative. Assign one adult to be the "photographer" so you can focus on hosting. Snap decor before guests arrive.

🎁 Presents Protocol

Consider opening presents at home — it saves 15 min, avoids jealousy drama, and lets you properly note who gave what for thank-you cards. Bring a large bag/bin to collect gifts.

⚠️ Allergy Awareness

Ask about allergies on your RSVP. Flag allergy families visually on your check-in list. Notify venue staff. Keep allergy-safe snacks separate and clearly labeled. Many trampoline/bounce venues are nut-free — confirm beforehand.

💵 Host Tip

For venue parties with a dedicated host, $30–50 cash tip is standard for parties of 20+ kids. Hand it directly at checkout with a thank-you.

🧦 The Sock Reminder

If your venue requires socks (trampoline parks, bounce houses), mention it on the invitation AND send a reminder the morning of. Parents always forget. Keep 5 spare pairs in your bag.

🎈 Balloon Math

Helium balloons: 1 per kid + 10 for decor. Regular balloons for arches/clusters: buy 2x what you think. They pop. A hand pump is $5 and saves your lungs.
