So we are thinking of having a bouncy castle at our wedding for adults and children, do you think this would be a good idea?

Yes but I wouldn't have it there all night as you'll find the main focus will be on that and not in the main reception room where people are dancing etc I find the same with photo booths it empties the main room n leaves a dull atmosphere xx

We are considering the same thing so the kids have something to keep them occupied and they don't get bored x

Well if you've already made your choice (which you clearly have) I wouldnt worry what us strangers think. ASK YOURSELF THIS....
do YOU think its a good idea?
do YOU think its suitable for the sort of day you want, and the people attending?
As long as you can say "YES" to both of these, then you're set. It may not be out preference, but its your wedding, not ours, and we're not the ones attending your wedding.

They are great fun, but make sure there's a sewing kit to hand - I've definitely seen my fair share of ripped pants at functions with bouncy castles haha

My brother had one for his and both adults and kids were competing against each other. It was fun for everyone! I didnt get to go on it as I was heavily pregnant.... Lol x

I'm having a bouncy castle face paints and a few other things just for a few hours to keep the kids busy c

i love the idea of face painting. i would be a little worried the kids would brush against my dress

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 18 May 2017

It would be fun for kids and adults but it would be too expensive to hire for the whole day and night

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 18 May 2017

Do it! It was such a great aspect to our day! xx

Such a great idea! If you have a lawn area maybe think about some lawn games too, you'd be surprised at how many 'big' kids join in too

UKbride Administrator 19 May 2017

We are having one at our wedding, it's a great idea to keep kiddies entertained and adults! Haha can't wait! Xxx

Best idea ever. Who doesn't love a good bounce. Just keep an eye on grandma and grandad, don't want them breaking a hip. Lol
