hi. what do you do for normal birthdays

and how much does it cost to rent a bouncy castle? asking for a friend.

That depends what type of bouncy castle that you want and for how long.

[At this point he's sort of become a bouncy castle expert.]

[missingache]

Invite people over or to a different place. There's usually cake, too, or whatever the birthday person likes.

And it depends on the size and how long you need it for. Or if it's for kids or adults.

[allforyuu]

cake!! i knew i had forgotten something

can't adults use a kid-sized bouncy castle?

[missingache]

If you don't want a whole cake, there's a place that sells cupcakes here that are really good. Less mess, too.

Not really. Most adults are too tall for kid sized ones.

[allforyuu]

Let's say I want a bouncy castle that can room at least eight people. How expensive can that get?

[For a moment he considers his possible guests, and then he simply sighs.]

and it needs to be idiot proof.

[allforyuu]

do you remember the name of the place? i haven't checked out a lot of the bakeries yet

i guess so. i suppose short people can still use the adult sized one.

[missingache]

It's called The Confectionary and it's in Tisse.

Adult ones are sturdier, too, I think, because of the weight difference.

[deathboss]

You'd need an adult one for sure uh...I'm guessing around 350$.

What type of idiot proof are we talking about? No one's got spiky elbows or feet do they?

[mercurio]

ok but what do you mean by "normal" birthdays??
what kinda birthdays have you been witnessing

[lastcomfort]

Omg! I would have loved a bouncy castle for my birthday!

Google says that it's from like $100 to $2000???

[maskreant]

about $220 for toddlers and juniors and probably 300-400 for older.

i think most people have a cake for their birthday though.

[allforyuu]

thank you. i'll see if they can help.

...oh. it's possible to puncture the kid ones, isn't there. didn't think about that

have you planned a lot of birthdays?

[missingache]

The adult ones can be punctured, too, so don't let people take sharp objects or bottles in there.

Not a single one. Just things I noticed going to my own and other people's.

[allforyuu]

it looks like a lot of fun!

what. can you imagine how many cakes you could get for that

[allforyuu]

no swords. got it.

have you been to a lot of them?

[missingache]

Not really. Just my own and one of my friends. They're all pretty similar no matter what age the person is turning.

[allforyuu]

i mean when you have enough money to actually have one.

what is a real birthday to you?

[allforyuu]

that's not too bad!

no spiky elbows, but he's the kind of guy who would bring a cat into the bouncy castle "because it looked sad"

[allforyuu]

i disagree. it used to be a lot easier when i was younger

[missingache]

Because you weren't the one planning it. It's always easier when others do things for you, but you just take what you learned, and apply it for yourself.

[allforyuu]

that's not too bad. i think

is there a general consensus on what kind of cake you ought to have or can you like make a banana smarties cake if you really like those things

[maskreant]

it's affordable depending on how many people are coming or how much disposable income you have.

no. people pick the person's favorite flavor if they know it. otherwise, they go with safe flavors like vanilla or chocolate.

[allforyuu]

i didn't realize how much work it really was.

what's the thing you look forward to the most when it comes to birthdays?

[missingache]

That's why some people go with party planners if it's a big event.

Seeing how happy my brother or friend gets when the people they like and love show up for them.

[Wait. That sounds weird.]

And the food.

[allforyuu]

money won't be an issue

i don't know. i don't want anyone to go without cake. perhaps safe flavours is the way to go
