[quote=Anonymous]I got tired of trying to have my kids' birthday parties at home and having weather interfere (snow in April, I kid you not, or just major rain or super freak cold in July), so for a few years I started having them at my church fellowship hall.  I discovered members of my church got free use of the fellowship hall and kitchen, you just had to reserve it.  I could use all the tables and chairs I wanted.  I had to throw trash away but didn't need to vacuum.  It is huge too, you can actually fit an inflatable in there the ceiling is so high.  It was awesome. I've had a band, a character, an inflatable, and some science guy in there.  Never worry about the weather.  Just provide some food, and done.  Never cost more than $300 (most of which was for the entertainment).  I only do my parties for 90 minutes.

Now I do most at home.  I decided to invest in an inflatable that uses water for my kids to keep at home to use all summer (and hopefully next). Our last party a few weeks ago was just kids using the inflatable. I quickly discovered using water balloons involves too much after clean up.  But the inflatable, people stayed way over the end time, last one left after 3 hours.  I made the cake.  I ordered papa johns and used a 50% coupon code so I got it for cheap.  Slice up a watermelon.  Done. [/quote]
