Hosting an event can be daunting as the pressure of pleasing the crowd can be immense. However, more people are starting to use giant inflatables to bring the wow factor. A giant inflatable can be anything you like too. From an enormous inflatable panda to a big bottle of bubbly champagne, there’s a giant inflatable to suit your event. You might have some questions about how best to use them and what safety features you need to consider, so here are some top tips!

Check The Weather

If you’re planning on holding your event outdoors, it’s crucial that you check the weather before you set up your giant inflatable. If there are talks of torrential rain and gale-force winds, you might need to reconsider where you place the inflatable. If possible, it could be moved indoors so that it’s protected by the shelter. If the weather is supposed to be terrible, most of your event-goers will most likely head to the indoor part anyway, so they’ll still get to benefit from your inflatable. 

Consider Your Crowd

It’s important to think about what type of crowd you’ll have at your event. If it’s a children’s themed one, you might want to go for more interactive inflatables like bouncy castles or tunnels so that they can get the most out of them. Similarly, if you’re event is a sports competition, you could go for a unique entrance and finish line to help signpost the athletes. If you’re merely promoting a business, you could even get bespoke giant inflatables of your product or business logo. Using the right giant inflatable can really make a difference to the crowd’s impression of your event. 

How Much Space? 

Giant inflatables are as the name suggests…giant, so you need to make sure that you’ve got plenty of space for them to be installed without restrictions. You don’t want to spend some of your event’s budget on something that you can’t even use on the day. 

What’s Your Theme? 

As well as your crowd, you want to think about what kind of theme you’re going for. If you’re hosting a music-themed event, why not go for giant instrument inflatables. Or if you’re hosting a promotional event, you could have an inflatable blimp to really show off the business.  

Safety First

Installing giant inflatables isn’t something you should attempt on your own. Most companies will send a company representative to safely install and dismantle it for you. There have been tragic accidents that occur when they aren’t fitted correctly, so you want to ensure you eliminate the risk of this ever happening by leaving it up to the professionals. If you’re also hosting an event where children are present, make sure that they’re with a responsible adult at all times when around the inflatables. 

Using giant inflatables can be a wonderful way to bring joy to your event, but it’s imperative that they’re installed safely. Some companies will even offer to manage your full event for you, so you have even less to stress about. By utilising these simple tips, you can be sure your event goes off without a hitch and your crowd remember it for years to come.
