1) Could you move the party indoors? With some changes in activities - many parties can move inside your home without much problem ( I recently had to move my middle schooler's back-to-school party inside with 15 guests...we put on the Wii - ordered pizzas - and they had a blast!)
2) Depending on the type of weather, how about renting a tent? Or perhaps another venue? I keep a list of additional venues handy for party rentals - inside AND outside. Contacting them for general information well ahead of time helps lower your blood pressure. They may not be available that date, but many places will be happy to rent it out on a day or two in advance if not already rented!
3) Maybe changing your theme? Tropical Storm? Have everyone meet at a movie theater and pizza afterwards! Or at an indoor theme park! A spa party or skating rink? Get creative!
4) Rescheduling is always an option - although my last one. Sometimes if you are heavily invested (emotionally OR financially) in a particular party - rescheduling is the best option. Make sure that you have every ones contact information for last minute changes!
At Party Jumpers, we understand that you can't control Mother Nature! We don't take deposits, and will happily reschedule your party in advance (for ANY reason!) In the event that the item you have reserved is not available on your new party date, we do our best to substitute for an item of greater value (but at the same cost to you!) When it looks like the weather is not going to be conducive to your party, we contact you directly and discuss your preferences.
That's just ONE of the Party Jumper differences!
