bubble machine

bluebutterfly, 4 July, 2010 at 13:19 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi

Thinking of hiring a bubble machine for our wedding, as I like bubbles and there are going to be a lot of kids.

Not sure how practical it will be though.Slippy floors? Ruined clothes?

Maybe put it outside somehow, but already have a bouncy casle planned for outside.

Anyone got any thought/ experience with this?

Thanx

    Friend had bubble machine & I dont remember any slippery floors (wooden) or messy clothes. I was a little tipsy from vinos by the time it was turned on though! Think is depends on the type of bubble mix. Saw a fake snow machine & that made slippery, wet mess all over the floor.

    I would be more worried about it touching my dress and staining!

    I would have one outside though, you can get little automated battery powered ones from ELC...

    I think its a nice idea. I don't think it would make the floor slippy.

    Would make some fab pics.

    Thanks ladies.

    I agree, it will be fab for pictures.

    Will mention it to the venue, see what they think, they might have health and safety regulations !

    I have a bubble machine. If you limit its useage or have it on carpet you're ok. I've experimented with all kinds of fluids....and they are all slippery. The other thing you have to be careful with is the venues PLI. Bubble machines are often exclusions because of the hazard they cause.

    Saying that, I have used it for a first dance, but just done a quick burst now and again, allowing for photos to be taken. I've also had it positioned in an archway entrance to the room for people to walk through. That was left on and was OK because it was on carpet. As for staining clothes.....I've not had any instances of that.

    Hope that helps

    The company I'm getting my bouncy castle from also hires other bits our and a bubble machine is one of those things so might be worth enquiring with your bouncy castle people? I only think is was £20 to hire a fairly sizeable one and means someone else sets it up so you don't have to worry about it!

    Using the right quality liquid is important to avoid this....

    (I do carry one around in the car for use on weddings if required)
