Party Rental Tips
LI Party Supply | Nassau County Tent Rentals
With the holidays quickly approaching, there are a number of reasons to host a party. Whether you plan on throwing a soiree your guests will remember for years to come or a simple intimate gathering, the last thing you want is to rent party equipment from a company that won’t deliver as promised when your big day arrives.
There is a lot to consider when deciding which party rental company to use so we have a few key tips to help you get your party planning started.
Make the Calls Before You Book.
Compare the prices of several party rental facilities before you jump in. If you are able to, plan a visit to the actual facility to see for yourself how they maintain their rental equipment. Inquire about details such as delivery and pick- up protocol, as well as the financial commitment required at booking.
Who Will Be Attending?
You will want to cater to your guests so that they will be comfortable. If the guest-list is primarily adults then a bounce house may be out of the question. Have some young adults attending begrudgingly? A karaoke rental is a great way to break the ice for any age.
Book Equipment Ahead.
Party rental companies usually have a limited stock and if you want to ensure you have the rental equipment you need, then you want to book it as early as possible. Any specific details regarding headcount can be adjusted along the way.
Space is Essential.
If you are looking to host an outdoor party and will be renting a bounce house – be sure to have enough space for your guests to socialize with other attendees, partake in other party events, and eat comfortably.
Stay Informed.
When planning an event of any size, especially ahead of time, miscommunication can happen. Make sure you stay on top of your equipment booking by confirming with the vendor throughout the planning process and notify them of changes asap.
Backup Plan.
There is nothing like planning a beautiful outside arrangement only to have an unexpected visit by Mother Nature. Consider renting a tent with side panels to help block out sun, wind or rain. Plus, a tent will add an added touch and help separate space even if it stays beautiful all day.
Do Your Part.
If you plan on renting any type of inflatable or other equipment that requires setup by the party rental company; prepare the area ahead for a smoother installation by clearing the area where the equipment will be placed as well as walkways to get to that location.
Want to Save?
Some items rent for the weekend. If you have friends or neighbors who are planning to host a gathering the same weekend, maybe coordinate your party with them so that you can use the equipment on your day and then pass to them the next day. This comes in handy with items such as tables, chairs, and tents, and can save you money in the long run.
