You've planned the perfect party. The bounce house is booked, the invitations are sent, and the kids are counting down the days. Then you check the weather forecast and see a 60% chance of rain. Now what?
This is one of the most common questions we get at Wow Inflatables — and we want to give you a completely transparent, honest answer so you can plan with confidence.
Our Weather Policy — Plain and Simple
GO
Light drizzle or overcast skies
We deliver as planned. Light rain is generally safe for bounce house use. The surface may be slightly slippery — remind kids to be careful.
DISCUSS
Heavy rain forecast (but no lightning)
We will contact you 24 hours in advance to discuss options: reschedule, or we can still deliver if you accept the conditions.
CANCEL
Lightning, thunderstorms, or high winds (25+ mph)
We cancel for safety. You receive a full refund or free rescheduling — your choice. No fees, no penalties.
How We Monitor Weather
We use multiple weather services to monitor conditions for every scheduled delivery. Here's our process:
- 48 hours out: We check the extended forecast for your event date and location.
- 24 hours out: If conditions look questionable, we proactively contact you to discuss options.
- Morning of event: Final weather check. If a storm is developing, we call you immediately.
- During the event: If conditions change rapidly, we will call you to advise on whether to take down the unit.
Tips to Protect Your Party from Weather
- →Book a covered venue as a backupIf you're renting for a large event, consider booking a pavilion or covered area as a rain contingency. Many Georgia parks have covered pavilions you can reserve for $25–50.
- →Choose a morning time slotGeorgia afternoon thunderstorms are most common between 2–6 PM. A morning party (10 AM–2 PM) significantly reduces your weather risk.
- →Have an indoor activity readyPrepare a few indoor activities (board games, movies, crafts) as a backup in case conditions deteriorate. This keeps the party going even if the bounce house has to come down.
- →Don't cancel based on a forecast aloneWeather forecasts are often wrong, especially for localized afternoon storms. Wait for our call before making any decisions — we'll give you the most accurate picture.
