Sadiq Gill - Party Rental Companies Relieve the Stress of Event Planning

Whether it's a graduation, wedding or an office party, the planning phase can be hectic and somewhat stressful. As items are scratched from the to-do list, planners often ponder whether anything has been inadvertently left off the checklist. In addition, there always seems to be one or two items that prove difficult to get squared away as the event draws near.

Party Rental Companies Can Help!

The goal of every party planner is to have everything go off smoothly and perfectly. This is not always the case, of course, but is usually the intention. With all the meticulous arrangements taking place, it’s easy for planners to become a bit overwhelmed. This is especially the case if they find themselves using a variety of different sources to provide all that is needed to facilitate a successful event.

Enter the party rental company. These outfits can often be a one-stop resource for all event-related items. Not only will this save planners time and headaches, but it will likely cost less than putting an event together piece-by-piece.

In addition to the conventional items, many party rental businesses also provide entertainment, lighting, dance floors, stages and even “bounce houses” and games to keep the kids occupied. Tent rental for outdoor events are usually an option, at least with many of the larger party rental outfits.  

It is always wise to do the research in order to find a company that not only meets all that is required of an event, but to ensure their reputation is solid. It is also important to find out if they deliver, set up and tear down their rental equipment.

Party and event planning does not have to be a costly, painstaking endeavor. With one phone call to an experienced, reputable party rental company, most if not all the supplies and materials needed to pull off an event can be provided. And company staff may even be able to assist in the planning process!

Sadiq Gill - What To Look For In A Party Rendal Company

By Sadiq Gill

Many factors come into play when you're searching for a company to rent party supplies and equipment from. The price of the things you need, what previous customers have said, or perhaps the quality of the things for rent, are all valuable factors when making your decision. Take a look below for some tips on how to find the perfect rental company for all of your party needs.

It might depend on the kind of event or party you are hosting. Start by making a list of everything you’re going to need for this event. 

In order to cut down on stress, see if a particular company has everything you're going to need. Finding a company that offers everything you’re looking for could be a major factor in your choice. This way, you don't have to work with more than one company.

Next, check out their customer service. Do they have customer testimonials you can read to give you a better feel of how they treat their clients? What will you do if there is a problem with a rental? 

If these things look good so far, check out the other things the company offers. Do they help with party or event planning? Do they help set up the rental equipment if you need it?

Many of these questions might be answered on the company's website, or perhaps are just a phone call away and can help you in your decision making.

Finances are also a factor. What is your budget? Does the company offer products that will fit your party needs and your budget?

Of course some of these factors will be more important than others, so perhaps ranking each factor will help in your decision. 

After answering these questions, it should stand out what company is not only going to provide you with the rental items you need, but also the quality customer service you deserve.

Sadiq Gill - Planning A Party For The Big Game

By Sadiq Gill

The only thing better than watching the big game on the big screen is to do so with a big group of your friends.

That said, throwing an epic Super Bowl or March Madness party may sound like too much of a hassle if you’re not used to hosting events at your home. However, by incorporating a few simple ideas, you can throw the perfect game day party without having to spend too much money or do too much work.

Have guests bring their own chili for a “chili cook-off.” This provides both a fun party activity and a main course for your party meal, taking much of the burden off the host. Really, any type of potluck is a good idea for a sports party. An alternative potluck idea for beer lovers is to have guests bring some of their favorite brew to share.

Focus on finger foods. Veggie platters, cheese platters, chips and dip are all great foods for a game day party. For the most part, people just want some easy and tasty snacking while they watch the game, nothing too fancy.

Have guests dress in theme. Ask your partygoers to dress up representing their favorite team or player (i.e., in jerseys or team colors, or if they want to get more creative, with wigs, temporary tattoos, etc.). As for the host, consider dressing up like a referee – don’t forget the whistle to call out party fouls! Have fun with the décor. Decorations for sports parties should be lighthearted and simple. Depending on the type of game you’ll be watching, consider the following ideas.

Cover your table with chalkboard contact paper and draw lines to represent the field/court using chalk and a ruler. Use it as a tablecloth and/or have guests use it to strategize their own plays.

To celebrate football and other games that take place on grass, cut up pieces of AstroTurf to make coasters or have a faux-grass tablecloth.

Use food and drinks as décor by setting up a Gatorade cooler for a game-time atmosphere or by serving some foods that resemble the game ball (for example, cookies decorated to look like basketballs)

Host your own game. Host a quick game of touch football or driveway basketball at half time or before the big game – your ref costume should come in handy for this!

Finally, don’t forget to stock up on any party rentals you need, such as chairs, outdoor heaters, or even an outdoor inflatable movie screen or inflatable bounce house for the kids. Contact One Stop Rental if for any questions about party supplies or rental specials for your big game day party.
