If you plan on having a big outdoor event, you’ll probably head to a party store and stock up on supplies and decorations. It’s important not to forget a very important element of your upcoming party gathering. Your guests will eventually need to use a restroom during a big party. So, wise party givers often decide to contact a company with porta potty rentals.
If you haven’t ever rented an outdoor portable bathroom for a party, you may be surprised at how nice some of them look. According to the Buy Guide, a flushable porta potty may be available, with some having inner handwash stations. If your party is during a cooler season, you will be glad to know you can also rent a heated portable toilet.
According to Service Sanitation, the ideal ratio of porta potty to guests is to order one unit per 50 – 75 people. If anyone on your guest list needs an accessible toilet, please remember to rent at least one accessible unit. Please keep in mind that if there are alternative units available. For example, those going camping may want to purchase a portable toilet kit so they will have toilet facilities on their trail.
Summer is starting, and so is summer hosting season. You may already be planning a backyard cocktail party and thinking about the fun you and your guests may have. Grab a few tiki lamps, some dollar store leis, and some tropical music, and you’re all set. If there’s a bar in your outdoor pagoda, you’ll be able to reuse those tiki lights throughout the summer.
If your next outdoor party is a fancy outdoor celebration, like a wedding, you may want to organize yourself with a checklist for outdoor party needs, such as they may offer at a party rental business. Pick up some wedding party essentials, such as a wedding party tent and accessories, including crepe paper bells and artificial flowers for the wedding party. Think how beautiful your wedding pictures will be.
While you’re at the party store, you can pick up any additional party supplies you may need, such as tablecloths, plates, and decorations. If your pagoda bar needs barstools, you can ask the store whether they offer bar stool rental. Your summer of parties is only just beginning, but it’s never too early to dream about the ultimate summer ending party. Your backyard can be your paradise with some high-quality party rentals and a bit of imagination.
Ah, summertime: The time of year for relaxing by the pool. Actually, not quite — its time to put together the ultimate backyard party. What you’ll need: A way to stay organized throughout the planning process, some friends and family, and party rental equipment.
Here are a few essential things to keep in mind when planning your outdoor party this summer:
The invitations. What good would a dance floor rental be if there was no one to use it? Spread the word by either using traditional snail mail party invites (which will make your guests feel appreciated) or by creating a closed Facebook group. Using social media can help you advertise your party, and it will allow you to be able to reach all your guests at once if you need to change the date or time unexpectedly.
Ask for help. The party rental supply industry employs roughly 34,610 people, so it may be helpful to hire professionals to set up and tear down the equipment so you have one less thing to worry about. Equipment such as party tent rentals and canopy rentals can be quite heavy and dangerous to maneuver, so it is best to leave it to the professionals.
Food. This is a no-brainer. If you are going to have a backyard summer party, you are going to need food. If you are throwing a party for a bunch of teenagers or younger children who will be running around all afternoon, they’re going to get hungry at some point. Opt for finger foods that don’t require a lot of prep work.
Drinks. For those throwing a 21-and-over party, an outdoor bar rental can really impress your guests — and it will come fully stocked with whatever you want to have served. Always make sure that you are using glasses and cups that aren’t easily breakable. Picking up plastic cups or wine glasses from the dollar store is a great investment.
Safety first. Make sure your backyard is bulletproof (i.e. party proof) if alcohol is involved, you won’t want anyone tripping over poorly-placed benches. If you have a pool and plan on using it, create a fun sign that highlights some safety rules your guests should abide by.
If you think of anything else you may need in order to throw the ultimate summer party, such as outdoor lighting or heaters, don’t hesitate to request those from the supply rental company. There are 3,245 party rental supply businesses located in the United States (an industry that generates around $2 billion a year), and each one of them wants to make sure your party is perfect.
