    Top 5 Mistakes Made When Renting a Bounce House in Dallas

    At Fun Times Party Rental, we've helped thousands of customers across Dallas, TX, throw unforgettable parties and events. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand what makes a rental go smoothly—and what can cause stress or disappointment. To help you get the most out of your bounce house rental experience, here are the top five mistakes we’ve seen customers make (and how you can avoid them):

    1. Booking Last Minute.

    One of the most common mistakes is waiting too long to book. Dallas is a busy city, and weekends—especially during spring and summer—fill up fast. If you wait until the last minute, you may not get the bounce house style or size you want, or even worse, we may be fully booked for your date. At Fun Times Party Rental, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred inflatable and delivery time.

    2. Not Measuring the Set Up Area.

    It might seem like your backyard or driveway has plenty of room—but measurements matter! We’ve arrived at many events only to find that the bounce house doesn’t fit where the customer intended. This can lead to delays, last-minute rearranging, or even having to cancel the setup altogether. Always measure your space and double-check that it’s flat, clear of debris, and free from overhead obstructions like tree branches or power lines. If you're not sure, we're happy to help walk you through the sizing process over the phone.

    3. Forgetting About Power Requirements.

    Bounce houses need constant airflow, which means they require a reliable power source nearby. A standard outlet usually works fine, but if your event is in a park or open space without electricity, you’ll need to rent a generator. We’ve seen too many parties get delayed because power wasn’t considered in advance. At Fun Times Party Rental, we offer generator rentals and can help you determine if you’ll need one based on your event location.

    4. Renting from Uninsured or Unlicensed Providers.

    There are a lot of bounce house providers in the Dallas area, but not all of them operate with proper insurance and licenses. This might not seem like a big deal—until something goes wrong. Safety is our top priority, and Fun Times Party Rental is fully insured and state-inspected. Renting from a reputable company gives you peace of mind and protects you from unnecessary liability.

    5. Not Reading the Rental Terms.

    We get it—when you’re planning a party, the fine print isn’t the most exciting part. But skipping over the rental agreement can lead to misunderstandings. Some customers are surprised to learn that inflatables can’t be used in high winds or rain, or that damage caused by misuse can lead to extra charges. At Fun Times Party Rental, we make our policies clear and easy to understand, and we’re always happy to answer questions before your event.

    Avoiding these common mistakes can help ensure your bounce house rental is fun, safe, and stress-free. When you plan ahead and work with a trusted provider like Fun Times Party Rental, you can relax and enjoy the celebration!
