Create Your Own Party Package — Standard

CATEGORY 1 — TABLE & CHAIR PACKAGE

Choice of: 1 six-foot table + 6 chairs (black or white) OR 2 kids picnic tables. Upgrade available: 1 eight-foot table + 8 chairs at a small additional fee above the Standard total.

CATEGORY 2 — CARNIVAL GAME

Base price covers any carnival game valued at $40. Games priced above $40 can be selected at a discounted upcharge above the Standard total — you pay more than base but less than the game's individual rental price.

CATEGORY 3 — CONCESSION MACHINE

Choice of: Sno-cone machine (supplies for 50, choose 2 flavors at checkout), Cotton candy machine (supplies for 75), or Popcorn machine (supplies for 75). Flavors only selected if sno-cone is chosen.

Tables and Chairs — The Infrastructure Every Party Needs

Guests need somewhere to put food, gifts, and drinks — and somewhere to sit while children are playing. Without tables and chairs, a backyard party turns into an awkward logistics problem where parents are holding plates and looking for flat surfaces. The Standard package's table and chair selection covers this foundation before anything else. A 6-foot table with 6 chairs handles most backyard birthday setups. The upgrade to an 8-foot table with 8 chairs is available for larger gatherings at a small additional fee.

The Carnival Game — Focused Activity for the Kids

A bounce house or water slide is the main event. A carnival game is what keeps the line from feeling like waiting. When one child is in the bounce house, two more are at the carnival game. The focused one-at-a-time structure of most carnival games creates natural rotation that manages the flow of a birthday party more smoothly than open-ended activity alone. The Standard package's carnival game selection covers any game at the $40 price point, with discounted upgrades to higher-priced games available at checkout.

The Concession Machine — The Treat That Makes It a Party

A sno-cone machine in a Texas backyard in summer is not optional — it is essential. Cotton candy turns an outdoor event into a fair. Popcorn keeps adults and children occupied between activities. The concession machine is the detail that separates a party that felt like an event from a party that felt like a backyard gathering. The Standard package covers the machine and the supplies to serve either 75 people (cotton candy, popcorn) or 50 people with 2 flavor choices (sno-cone).

One Order, One Crew, One Delivery — The Simplification Is the Value

Booking three separate items from three separate vendors means three delivery windows, three setup processes, three invoices, and three points of contact if anything goes wrong. The Standard package delivers all three from Inflatable Party Magic in a single trip with a single setup crew. The table is positioned, the game is placed, the machine is running — all by the same team, at the same time, included in one professional delivery.

Discounted Upgrades — Customize Without Losing the Savings

The package is not a take-it-or-leave-it fixed bundle. Every category can be upgraded — a higher-priced carnival game, a larger table configuration — at a discounted upcharge above the Standard total. The upgrade always costs less than booking that item separately at its individual rental price. You save money on the base package and continue saving money on every upgrade you add. The Standard is the starting point, not a ceiling.

Pairs with Any Inflatable — The Complete Party Foundation

The Standard package is designed to layer onto any bounce house or water slide rental in the catalog. A bounce house is the star; the Standard package is the supporting cast. Add the Standard to a water slide order and you have the complete summer party: slides, seating, a carnival game for the waiting area, and a sno-cone machine for the inevitable "I'm hot" moment. One order covers the whole setup.

Click Add to Cart

Start the booking process from the product page. The booking system will walk you through each category selection in sequence — table and chairs first, then your game, then your machine.

Choose One Item from Each Category

Select your table configuration, your carnival game, and your concession machine. If you choose the sno-cone machine, you will also choose your 2 sno-cone flavors from the options at the bottom of that selection. Do not select sno-cone flavors if you chose cotton candy or popcorn.

Enter Your Event Details

Enter your event date, delivery address, setup location, and contact information. The system calculates your total including any upgrade fees for higher-priced items you selected. Review your choices and total before submitting.

Pay the $50 Deposit

A $50 non-refundable deposit holds your order and applies to the total rental price — it is subtracted from your total, not added on top. You will receive an immediate confirmation email. The crew delivers, sets up, and takes down all three items on your event day. Prefer phone booking? Call (817) 800-8618 and we can complete your order and take your deposit over the phone.

Birthday Parties — The Core Use Case

The Standard package covers exactly what a backyard birthday party needs beyond the main inflatable: a place for gifts and cake, a game for the kids between bounce house turns, and a sno-cone or cotton candy machine that makes the whole setup feel like a real celebration. Pair with a bounce house rental and the entire birthday party is covered in one order.

Summer Cookouts and Neighborhood Gatherings

A summer cookout with children needs seating that does not involve lawn chairs and paper plates on laps, a game that keeps kids occupied while adults talk, and a treat that works in Texas heat. The Standard package's table-game-machine combination is designed for exactly this scenario. Add a water slide rental and the summer party setup is complete.

School End-of-Year Parties and Classroom Events

End-of-year classroom parties and grade-level celebrations benefit from the Standard package's coverage of seating, activity, and treats in a single booking. The carnival game runs as a station, the popcorn or cotton candy machine is a manageable treat for the group, and the table handles classroom supplies. See our vendor approval for schools page for documentation requirements.

Church Fellowship Events and VBS

Church outdoor fellowship events and Vacation Bible School carnivals frequently need exactly this combination — seating for families, an activity for children, and a concession treat. The Standard package bundles these three essentials into a single order that covers the basics of any church family event without requiring multiple separate bookings. See our church event ideas for full planning guidance.

HOA Events and Block Parties

Smaller HOA community events and neighborhood block parties find the Standard package covers the fundamentals — seating for the adult gathering area, a game for the kids, and popcorn or snow cones for everyone. For larger community events, the Standard package scales with additional individual rentals added to the same order.

Daycare and Preschool Celebrations

Daycare end-of-year celebrations and preschool graduation events need the same three basics: tables and chairs for parents attending the ceremony, a carnival game for the children after the program, and a treat that makes the occasion feel special. The Standard package covers all three while keeping the planning coordination to a single vendor and a single call.

Bounce House Rentals

The Standard package is the support act. A bounce house is the main event. Pair both in a single order and the birthday party covers entertainment, seating, activity, and treats in one delivery from one vendor.

Water Slide Rentals

For summer parties, pair a water slide with the Standard package. The sno-cone machine alongside a water slide in a Texas backyard is the complete summer party setup — active cooling fun and a cold treat, both covered in one order.

Browse All Party Packages

The Standard is the entry-level package in the Inflatable Party Magic lineup. Browse the full packages category to see all available package tiers and combinations — if your event needs more than the Standard covers, a higher-tier package may fit your event better.

Obstacle Course Rentals

Add an obstacle course alongside the Standard package for older kids who want more than a carnival game. The Standard covers the seating and treats; the obstacle course covers the competitive physical activity for the elementary and middle school crowd.

Weather Happens

Texas weather does not care about your event date. We offer flexible rain checks with no penalties when weather forces a cancellation. Your deposit rolls forward to your rescheduled date — no lost money, no stress.

Empathy Over Logistics

We lead with kindness and find solutions, not excuses. If something goes wrong with your rental, we make it right. Chanda McFarland runs this company as a parent and neighbor, not a faceless corporation.

What exactly is included in the Standard package base price of $170?

The $170 base price covers one item from each of three categories at the lowest price point in that category: (1) Table and chairs — your choice of a 6-foot table with 6 chairs (black or white) OR 2 kids picnic tables; (2) Carnival game — any game valued at $40; (3) Concession machine — your choice of sno-cone machine with supplies for 50 and 2 flavor choices, cotton candy machine with supplies for 75, or popcorn machine with supplies for 75. Professional delivery, setup, and takedown of all three items is included. The $50 deposit is non-refundable and applies to the total — it is subtracted from what you owe, not added on top.

How do upgrades work — what do I pay if I want a higher-priced game or a larger table?

Every category in the Standard package can be upgraded at a discounted rate above the $170 base. For the carnival game: if you select a game priced above $40, the upcharge is a discounted amount — less than you would pay booking that game separately at its individual rental price. For the table: upgrading to an 8-foot table with 8 chairs adds a small fee above the base. The upgrade fee is always less than the difference between the Standard base and the individual item's full rental price — so you save money compared to booking separately. The booking system shows the upgrade cost clearly at checkout before you confirm.

When do I select sno-cone flavors and how many do I choose?

Only select sno-cone flavors if you chose the sno-cone machine as your concession machine. You choose exactly 2 sno-cone syrups from the flavor options at the bottom of the concession machine selection during checkout. If you selected cotton candy or popcorn instead, skip the flavor section entirely — those machines do not have flavor selections. Selecting sno-cone flavors when you did not choose the sno-cone machine may cause a checkout issue. If you have any confusion during the booking process, call (817) 800-8618 and we will walk you through it.

Can I add a bounce house or water slide to the Standard package in the same order?

Yes — the Standard package is designed to layer onto other rentals in the same order. Add a bounce house or water slide to your cart along with the Standard package and Inflatable Party Magic delivers everything in a single trip. Most birthday parties pair the Standard package with one inflatable — the inflatable is the main activity, the package covers the seating, a side game, and the treats. Call (817) 800-8618 if you need help building the complete order.

How many people does the concession machine serve?

The cotton candy machine and popcorn machine come with supplies to serve 75 people. The sno-cone machine comes with supplies to serve 50 people. If your guest count exceeds these amounts, call (817) 800-8618 before your event to arrange additional supplies. The supplies are the consumable items — bags, cones, and product — needed to operate the machine through the event. Operating instructions are provided at setup. See our what to expect on event day page for general event day guidance.
