There are many reasons why you would want to get the neighborhood together for a block party. Maybe someone is moving back home, moving out, moving in, getting married, or graduating. Maybe it's a holiday tradition, and every year Joan from down the street decorates her special cookies to look like hearts, pumpkins, or trees, depending on what the holiday is.
Block parties bring the people of the neighborhood together, which is a good idea for many reasons. First, you get to know other people and make new friends. You may have a lot in common with them, but you will never know until you make the initiative under appropriate circumstances.
* Food: Plan on how much food or dessert you will need. Find out what you would then like to provide and plan accordingly. A birthday party may include: cake, ice cream, utensils, drinks, etc... By preparing food ahead of time and shopping you can save money and have a great party.
There are two crucial staples that anyone must have at their block party. The first is food and drinks. No one is going to come if there isn't any. A lot of people in the neighborhood would be willing to pitch in as long as everyone is doing it and therefore they do not have to bring much. It is much more comfortable for people to talk, converse, and get to know one another if they have a commonality, such as the food they are eating, or the nice weather they are having.
This can get really pricey so one thing that most families do is potlucks. Potlucks make things a community effort. This can actually increase the unity and communal aspects of your family reunion, so it is a good idea to start planning now. When we are talking about planning, we are really talking about menus that everyone can agree on and can also help in preparing. Sure you may want to get professional catering services but it may not be the most financially savvy thing to do.
One option that can be used all year round is involves less mess and fuss is renting inflatable bouncy houses. Not only are they fun but they are safe and clean when rented from proper facilities. The set-up is done entirely by the company the inflatable is rented from and does not take longer than 20 or 30 minutes at the most. There are a number of bounce houses to choose from, all of which are different sizes and include different activities. The larger the bounce house the more area space you will need for the inflatable. The inflatable must at all times have a boundary between it and any houses, cars, or major buildings.
Just as no block party is complete without food - every block party needs a bouncy house.
