A Birthday Party With Popcorn

One of my friends from work wanted to know if I could give her some help with a birthday party she is planning for her daughter who will be twelve years old.  She wanted to have something different from the normal party refreshments and thought about buying a popcorn machine.  She said that she looked online at the popcorn machine buying guide but they seemed a little expensive.  I told her it would be better to just rent one for the day and then take it back.  She said she did not know why she had not thought of that herself.  I told her I would help with planning the party if she needed.
