Foam parties are social occasions at which participants are encouraged to dance to music on a dance floor covered with several feet of bubbles or suds

The foam party is exactly what it sounds like – a fun event where you get to dance, play, and party in several feet of bubbly suds.

 This foam is created by a foam machine and isn’t sticky and wet like soap bubbles. Rather, it provides all the comfort of fluffy foam without any of the mess.

Your guests might enjoy the foam on the dance floor or a special party activity, depending on what kind of foam party you have. Guests of all ages enjoy foam parties, which are also popular for school and daycare events.

Playing in a pool of sudsy, refreshing bubbles with your friends and family is a fun, wet, and wild way to spend time together! With our allergy-free, no-clean-up, environmentally friendly foam, we can fill your party space up to four feet deep.

We guarantee that nothing like this will ever be seen by your children before… and they’ll absolutely love it!

What is a Foam Party Made of

A Machine to Make Foam

The foam machine is what produces the foam, and it can be of many different types and sizes. Depending on how much foam you need (and how much space you have), you may opt for a standard-sized or extra-large machine.

Solution for Liquid Foam

A foam solution is what the machine uses to create foam, usually in the form of a liquid or gel. We have created a solution that is:

Allergy-free

Biologically degradable

Stain-free

Fragrance-free

It does not make a sticky, wet, or slippery mess like soap.

What is a Puppy Foam Party?

A spa day was held for dogs from all over the Columbus area.

On Saturday, the last foam party of the summer took place. Volunteers looked after the pups from head to toe. Dogs were bathed, manicured, and pedicured, and refreshments were provided. This is one of the many fun events they hold throughout the year at the animal clinic in Columbus, says owner Kerry Blanton.

This is a fun event where members of the community can bring their dogs out… they get a bath, a mutt massage, a pawdicure with polish they can pick from a variety of colors and they treat their dogs to pupcicles, so it’s like a spa day for your dog.” Proceeds from the event will benefit the Columbus humane society.

What is a Foam Cannon Party

Sound can be delivered with high definition and clarity through party foam cannon systems. Many companies offer a variety of party foam cannon systems that can be used for different purposes. You can use them to address everyone at a specific location quickly. Even though they are more of a traditional form of communication, party foam cannon systems continue to play a vital role in addressing large groups. You can easily cut through background noise such as chatter and command attention from your audience with them.

Foam Party Ideas

Your space should be divided into three separate areas for the best foam parties. Aside from the foam machine, dance floor, and water play area, you should also have a designated area for food and beverages.

Consider an outdoor space when deciding where to put the dance floor. Hard surfaces such as a concrete patio are ideal. It would also be possible to lay plastic sheeting and create a foam pit on the grass. Kids will enjoy playing in the bubbles and running around. When it comes to children’s parties, a bouncy castle can add yet another layer of fun memories while maintaining the foam contained.

What to Wear to a Foam Party

The second most frequently asked question we receive here at Kidtastic Bubbles is what should the guests wear to a foam party?

Here is the answer!

All guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing, such as a t-shirt and shorts or a swimsuit.

The same rules apply to what you should wear to a foam party as to what you would wear to a summer pool party.

You should wear clothes that…

• don’t mind getting wet
• and are comfortable
• drying quickly

The last thing you want to wear to a foam party is…

• What you don’t want to wear to a foam party is… anything made of suede or other non-water-friendly material
• anything fancy you don’t want to get wet

Should not be too complicated. Swimsuits or light t-shirts and shorts are perfect for the beach..

Foam Party Dangers

The CDC reports on the dangers of these popular events

Foam parties are becoming increasingly popular, but the fun may come at a price. Foam parties may cause eye irritation severe enough to impair vision and require medical treatment, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  

Over 50 people attending a foam party in Naples, Fla., on May 25 sought treatment for eye injuries at local emergency rooms and other medical facilities.

Attendees of foam parties could potentially experience eye irritation if foam particles get into their eyes, said Beth Kneib, O.D., director of the AOA Clinical Resources Group. During foam parties, proper eye washes should be readily available. However, should eye irritation occur, participants should seek professional attention immediately.”

Eye irritation may cause discomfort, a burning sensation, and tears. Driving with irritated eyes can be dangerous. “Fortunately, appropriate treatment can be found in optometric practices, as well as in clinics and emergency rooms,” Dr. Kneib said.

Who is Foam Party Steve

What Do i Need For a Foam Party

In order to throw a foam party, you will require (at a minimum) a foam machine, foam machine solution, water source, foam machine reservoir, standard electrical outlet, and speaker – preferably waterproof.

Take a look at each!

A Foam Machine

To throw an incredible foam party, you need a foam machine of high quality. 

You will not be able to cover a large area with foam if your foam machine does not have enough power. The kids don’t want to wait for the foam to pile up, and adults don’t want to squish together in the foam!

For our foam parties, Kidtastic Bubbles uses a professional grade HD Pro Stacker Foam Cannon by Foam Daddy. Using this foam cannon, we can quickly fill a large area with foam. 

In our opinion, the only foam machines you should consider for your foam party are those from Foam Daddy. 

Foam Machine Solution

You will need some foam machine solution once you have the foam machine. 

In gel, liquid, or powder form, the foam solution is what allows the bubble foam machine to create heaps of magical bubbles at your foam party.

Due to the fact that you will be spraying foam all over your guests and backyard or driveway, we recommend choosing a foam solution that…

• Contains no allergens
• Degradable
• Material Non-staining
• Fragrance-free
• Suitable for clothing
• Non-messy
• and skin-friendly

Not only does this foam solution hit all the marks above, but it easily creates the most foam output of any foam solution out there!

it also creates the most foam. There are no sticky or slippery messes with the Foam Daddy foam solution, and it is easy to clean! The foam disappears on its own at the end of a foam party.

Foam Machine Reservoir and Water Source

The operation of a foam machine is as follows.

First, you’ll need a 50-gallon foam machine reservoir – think of it as a giant bucket.

In addition, you will need between 12 and 1 gallon of premixed foam solution if you’re using Foam Daddy foam solution.

Last but not least, fill the rest of the reservoir with water.

In the end, you will put the submersible pump of your foam machine into the reservoir, and it will begin sucking out the solution and creating foam for your foam party.

As a reminder, you will need a water source and a foam machine reservoir (giant bucket). Any standard water hose outlet will do. 

It is better if the water source is close to the foam party setup, but thanks to really long water hoses, it is possible to have the water source up to 100 feet away from the foam machine.

Electrical Outlet

For your foam party, you will need an electrical outlet easily accessible to plug the foam machine into.

For the same reason as the water source, it is best to have the electrical outlet as close as possible to the foam party setup. However, thanks to extension cords, the outlet can be up to 100 feet from the foam machine.

If the extension cord is accidentally wet, we recommend using a 12-gauge weatherproof extension cord and a waterproof extension cord connector. As a reminder, always run your extension cords away from the foam area.

A Foam Party Machine Operator

There is a foam machine, foam solution, a water source, a foam machine reservoir, and an electrical source. Now you are ready for an epic foam party!

However, you need someone to operate everything!

You have a lot to juggle as the event host on the day of the party. The last thing you want to do is spend time figuring out how to work a machine you have probably never used before.

Our recommendation is to hire a professional foam party machine operator since you should be able to enjoy the party.

Foam party operators are responsible for setting up and tearing down foam machines, ensuring everyone is having a good time, and ensuring the best foam output is achieved.

Your foam party is all about making it as stress-free as possible

Speakers

The last thing you will need for a foam party is a speaker. A party isn’t complete without some great music, as we’ve already mentioned.

You will need a loud speaker for a foam party because it is held outdoors and there is a lot of noise going on. 

Ideally, you should choose a speaker with 200 watts (the more the better) and bonus points if the speaker is waterproof and splash-proof. 

Here are a few of our favorite songs that we like to play at foam parties:

• Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling
• Happy (Pharell Williams)
• Tone & I’s Dance Monkey
• Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling
• of Walk The Moon’s Shut Up And Dance
