Holidays in America each carry their own unique traditions: a hot dog on The 4th of July, opening presents on Christmas morning or slicing into turkey on Thanksgiving. But if we’re all honest with ourselves…there’s something extra sweet about Halloween. Kids wait all year for an excuse to rip the pillowcase off their pillow, saddle up in a costume and parade around the neighborhood—all with the goal to satisfy a sweet tooth. However, believe it or not, Halloween is an opportunity for more than just candy and costumes. Halloween provides a chance for communal gatherings and celebrating the fall season! And when those two things combine—events & autumn—Fun Services Midwest has the pleasure each year to answer the call, and provide Halloween-themed moonwalk rentals to create an October 31st to remember.
First, we must ask: what do you have on the calendar for Halloween this year? It falls on a weekend in 2021—a Sunday!—which means you have a whole day to plan a party.
“Plan a party?!” you ask? Yes . . . if there is nothing on the schedule thus far, we want you to throw the Halloween party that friends, family, and neighbors will talk about all fall. It’s easier than you think because Fun Services Midwest has the centerpiece to build memories around. Take off your shoes and let’s step inside three great Halloween rentals!
Treasure Island
Let’s face it . . . Halloween is all about finding treasure. Candy in general, yes, but an age-old practice on Halloween is finding where THE best houses are for distributing THE best sugar. Word spreads quickly among friends— “Mrs. O’Grady is handing out King-Size Butterfinger!”—and it’s important to seize the treasure as soon as possible when given the chance. THEREFORE, a Treasure Island obstacle course rental is appropriate for all the pirates (or astronauts, or zombies, or zoo animals) at your party.
A Guardian’s Galaxy Inflatable Rental
Our Guardian’s Galaxy option is a “Hungry Hippos” style inflatable rental game for all of Halloween’s ravenous kiddos out there. We include inflatable rental because you can easily turn the event into a Halloween-themed game—for kids to tie the bungees around themselves and race to see who can collect the most candy! After all, there’s no other night in the galaxy where it’s socially acceptable to chase after candy like a bunch of crazy people.
Halloween Banner Bonanza
Lastly, we have something straight and to the point: our Halloween Banner moonwalk rental. The moonwalk itself is fairly standard, but the colorful banner above, as children (or adults!) waltz into this moonwalk, will set the tone for any Halloween party. Sometimes the easy answer is the right answer, and we know you won’t go wrong with this banner option for the holiday.
While we’re on the topic of what’s simple and necessary, here’s a quick checklist of what you could include at a Halloween party this year.
- A pinata
- Bobbing for apples
- Apple cider station
- A giant (or small) bonfire
- Roasting marshmallows
- Making smores
- Yard games
- Face painting
- A projector screen playing (kid-friendly) Halloween movies.
- Popcorn and cotton candy machines
Hopefully, those few ideas get your creative juices flowing. Be the friend in your community or neighborhood that steps up to the plate and makes this thing happen. Will everything go perfectly according to plan? Probably not. (Sometimes the most memorable parties are the ones that have a few mishaps!)
But the fact you made an extra effort for Halloween to go beyond the normal neighborhood jaunt will show your friends you truly care about creating short-term moments that turn into long-term memories.
Don’t Waste Time!
In the same way the best bars disappear fast— “I ran to Mrs. O’Grady’s but she was all out of candy…”—our best moonwalk rental options will get booked quickly.
It happens every October! People plan their parties but some are a little late on the ball. Contact us today to reserve your Halloween-themed moonwalk rental and let us do the rest. Again, a moonwalk rental, like the Thanksgiving turkey or grille on the 4th of July, is just a centerpiece. Any party is only as good as the friends and family you have there.
So start working on your Halloween evite and send it out ASAP. The only thing scarier than Halloween itself is getting to November 1st thinking “What could have been” with a wonderful Sunday gathering. Don’t get to that point—Fun Services Midwest knows you can do this.
We’re just here to make your Halloween party a little sweeter.
