Good to Know

  • Check what your venue already includes before you rent anything.
  • Inflatables usually need a flat area, a power outlet nearby and calm wind; ask for the operator's safety rules.
  • Count chairs for every guest plus a few spares; tables for 8 at 60-inch rounds are the common standard.
