Looking to add some magical fun to your next event? Bubble machines are a great way for you to create joy and wonder for your guests of all ages. With so many options out there though, how do you pick the best bubble machine for your needs?
How Do Bubble Machines Work?
A bubble machine produces bubbles by blowing air through a bubble solution, usually a mix of water, soap, and glycerin.
The solution is held in a reservoir of the machine. A motorized fan then blows air through small holes or slits in the reservoir to create bubbles.
The rate of airflow determines the amount of bubbles produced. More advanced machines may also use ultrasonic technology, heating elements, or LED lights to produce different bubble effects.
Main Types of Bubble Machines for You to Choose From
There are a few main types of bubble machines for you to pick from:
- Wedding bubble machines – Compact, and wonderful smoke-filled bubbles used for your wedding exits when guests send blessings on you and your partner. Especially the peak visuals when collaborating with dry ice fog machines.
- Bubble blowers for Kids – These produce a steady stream of bubbles from the bubble maker. Lightweight and portable, great for your kids’ parties.
- Bubble fog machines for Show – Combine magical bubbles and fog. The fog fills and highlights the bubbles. Puffs of smoke are released when the bubbles pop to surprise your guests. Perfect for your professional performances.
- LED bubble machines for Parties – Bubble machines with LED lights that illuminate the bubbles in different colors. Creating a beautiful ambience for your events.
