About Bubble Party Guide — how this site is funded, who runs it

Why this exists

If you Google "bubble party for kids", you mostly find listicles padded out for SEO, marketplaces pretending to "verify" entertainers they've never met, and Pinterest boards that don't tell you what to buy. There wasn't a single straight, honest, here's-what-it-actually-costs-and-here's-what-to-buy guide. So we built one.

How this site is funded

Two ways. Both stated openly on every relevant page:

Amazon affiliate links on the gear and planner pages. If you click through and buy, Amazon pays us a small commission — usually 1–4% — at no extra cost to you. We only list categories of product we'd genuinely use for a kid's bubble party in our own garden.
Display ad slots on heavier-trafficked pages. Standard ad-network placements. We don't choose which ads appear.

Editorial policy

No sponsored content. No "in association with" deals, no paid placements, no "we partner with" entertainers.
No fake reviews or testimonials. If you see a quote on this site, it's either from a named published source or marked as our own opinion.
No fake "verified" host directory. We don't vet entertainers. We point you to the platforms that do (with caveats about what each one actually verifies).
Prices change. The price ranges we publish are triangulated from multiple live entertainer pages. They will be wrong eventually. Confirm directly with the entertainer.
We update. If we get something wrong and a reader tells us, we fix it.

Privacy

Analytics: we use basic, anonymous analytics to count pageviews. No personal tracking, no cross-site profiles.
The "get matched" form on the host-finder page: the details you submit are emailed to us so we can reply with suggestions. We don't share, sell, or pass them to entertainers without your explicit yes.
Affiliate links: when you click an Amazon link, Amazon's cookies kick in (their tracking, not ours). That's how the commission is attributed. We don't collect anything from that.
Ad slots: third-party ad networks may use their own cookies. We don't control that. Most browsers let you block these globally.

How we research

Every load-bearing fact on this site was triangulated across at least nine independent sources — entertainer pricing pages, party-planner write-ups, paediatric-safety guidance, manufacturer specs, and the underlying physics of bubble formation. Where sources disagreed (mostly on price), we report ranges, not point estimates. Where we couldn't verify a claim across multiple sources, we say "this is one source's view" or we leave the claim out.
