What is a Foam Party?

A foam party is an event where foam is produced and sprayed into an enclosed area for people to play in. A special foam machine mixes water and a special solution to create a thick, bubbly foam that’s a total blast.

The foam is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for all ages and, once its sprayed into an enclosed space, it can reach up to 5 feet tall!

Why are Foam Parties So Popular?

How Do I Plan a Foam Party?
Planning a foam party may seem daunting, but it’s actually quite simple. Here! Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Find a Venue
The first step in planning a foam party is finding a suitable venue. You’ll need a space that is large enough to accommodate the foam machine and your guests. Some options include a backyard, park,, or community center. Just make sure to get permission from the venue before moving forward.

Step 2: Rent a Foam Machine
The next step is to rent a foam machine. You can find foam machine rental companies online or through party rental companies. Make sure to choose a reputable company and read reviews before making a decision. You’ll also want to consider the size of the foam machine and the amount of foam it can produce.

Step 3: Set a Date and Time
Once you have a venue and foam machine secured, it’s time to set a date and time for your party. Consider the availability of your guests and the weather when choosing a date. Try to plan your event on a warm, sunny day.

Step 4: Send Out Invitations
Send out invitations to your guests well in advance. You don’t want anyone to miss out. Make sure to include all the necessary details, such as the date, time, location, and any special, foam party-related instructions (e.g. bring a change of clothes).

Step 5: Prepare the Venue
On the day of the party, you’ll want to prepare the venue for the foam. This may include setting up a dance floor or one of our Foam Party Pits.

Step 6: Enjoy the Party!
Once everything is set up, it’s time to enjoy the party! Turn on the foam machine and let the fun begin. It’s always good to play some music and maybe even provide some fun toys to play with. Beach balls or water guns would be a blast.

Tips for a Successful Foam Party

Here are a few tips to help make your foam party a success:

Provide Towels and Change of Clothes
As the foam can get quite wet, it’s a good idea to provide towels and a change of clothes for your guests. This will allow them to dry off and change after the party. Don’t feel like providing them yourself? Ask your guests to bring their own.

Consider a Theme
To make your foam party even more fun, consider choosing a theme. This could be anything from a beach party to a neon party. Decorate the venue accordingly and encourage your guests to dress up.

Plan Fun Foam Part Games
Here are some of our favorite game ideas that are perfect for a foam-filled celebration:

• Limbo: Set up a limbo stick and challenge your guests to see how low they can go while dancing under the foam. It’s a fun and energetic game that will get everyone moving and laughing.
• Volleyball: Create a foam volleyball court. Divide your guests into teams and have a friendly competition, trying to keep the foam-covered volleyball in play. It adds an extra level of difficulty and excitement to the game.
• Tag: Turn a game of tag into a foam-filled adventure. Designate one person as “It” and have them chase the other players through the foam. When “It” tags someone, they become the new “It”. The foam adds a unique twist to the classic game and makes it even more thrilling.
• Ninja Warrior: Create an obstacle course and challenge your guests to navigate through the foamy maze like true ninjas. Set up pillars, ramps, and tunnels for them to conquer. It’s a great way to test their agility and have some friendly competition.
• Slip ‘n Slide: Turn a regular slip ‘n slide into a foam-filled adventure. Set up a long sheet of plastic, cover it with foam, and add water for some extra slipperiness. Guests can slide across it, whizzing through the foam.

These foam party games are sure to entertain your guests and keep the energy high throughout the celebration. Get ready for a foam-filled extravaganza filled with laughter and excitement.
