As we begin to enter hotter and longer days this summer, it means that cookouts, BBQs, pool parties, and concerts are going to fill up a lot of our time. If you’re lucky enough, this summer you will be responsible for hosting one of those events or maybe even something bigger. In this article, we have put together a list of ideas and tips for how to throw a summer party year after year that everyone will enjoy.

The best parties are all inclusive. They have food, drinks, games, and everything in between.  However, that’s just it! The most important part of throwing a successful party is everything that is included in that ‘in between.’ Since most of these parties happen during the day, you have to consider providing shade for your guests. Tent season just began if you haven’t noticed the graduations happening everywhere. You can get yours by renting one from your local rental company.  Don’t wait to give them a call as tents are among the most popular rental items on the market. It can get hot and the last thing you want is for people to feel uncomfortable or for one of your guest to risk injury. The second popular item you should rent for your party are tables. People need a place to eat, play cards, and you need a spot to put all of the food and drinks. Your local dealer will have a multitude of options including specialty tables such as poker tables. The next step is to consider renting collapsible chairs. These come cushioned or un-cushioned and in many different colors. People prefer to sit down when they eat, and we’re not talking about on the floor or in the grass.  Rent some chairs for people to take a load off under that big tent and to relax and enjoy the atmosphere you have brought to them.  Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when throwing your next party. Tents, tables, and chairs are easy to handle, but what’s going to set your party apart from the rest is the décor. Décor is where rental companies are the strongest. They have everything you can think of regardless of size, color, and style. All you have to do is visit or call, and they will most likely have it in stock or recommend an appropriate substitute. Items such as colorful polysolid linens, DJ equipment, carnival games, cotton candy or snow cone machines for the kids, utensils, and grillware can all be rented this summer at little cost to you. The best part of renting is that it saves time, space, and money. Look at it as an opportunity for you to give something special to your guests that they won’t often get anywhere else.  Don’t be average, and think beyond what’s considered normal for a party. Go the distance and rent your party equipment this summer so that you and your guest can have an amazing time. Pick up the phone and lock down your summer party rentals today!
