Frequently Asked Questions About Christmas Party Rentals
Can inflatables be used in cold weather?
Absolutely! Our commercial-grade inflatable rentals work perfectly in North Texas winter weather. The vinyl becomes slightly stiffer in cold temperatures but remains safe and fun. We adjust blower settings to maintain proper inflation, and kids stay warm from all the jumping!
Do you deliver on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
We understand some families celebrate on these days. While we don't deliver on Christmas Day, we offer special Christmas Eve morning delivery with pickup on December 26th. Book early as these slots fill quickly across Fort Worth, Arlington, and surrounding cities.
What if we need to move the party indoors?
Many of our bounce houses and smaller inflatables work great indoors! Churches in Midlothian, Waxahachie, and Venus often use their gyms as backup venues. We'll help measure your space and recommend appropriate equipment. Indoor setups require 3 feet of ceiling clearance above the inflatable's height.
Do your tent rentals help with cold weather?
Yes! Our tent rentals come with optional sidewalls that effectively block winter winds and help retain warmth. These clear or white sidewalls create a comfortable environment for guests while still allowing visibility. For heating needs, many venues provide portable heaters, or you can rent them separately. Our team will help you determine the best tent configuration for your December event in Cleburne, Granbury, or anywhere in DFW.
Can you match our corporate Christmas party theme?
Yes! From elegant winter wonderlands in Southlake to rustic Christmas celebrations in Glen Rose, we customize rentals to match your vision. We offer various tent styles, lighting colors, and themed inflatables to create cohesive event design.
Do you provide power for the inflatables?
Each inflatable requires a standard 110V outlet within 100 feet. For venues without adequate power (common in Godley and Alvarado outdoor locations), we rent quiet generators. Our team handles all electrical connections safely and professionally.
What's your cancellation policy for weather?
Texas weather is unpredictable! If severe weather threatens (ice storms, high winds, flooding), we'll work with you to reschedule at no additional charge. We monitor forecasts closely and contact you proactively about potential issues.
How far in advance should we book Christmas rentals?
December is our busiest month! For popular items like Christmas bounce house rentals and tent rentals with sidewalls, we recommend booking 4-6 weeks ahead. Corporate events in Fort Worth and Arlington often book 2-3 months in advance. However, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.
