Hosting A Springtime Garden Party? Make Sure To Rent These Items

by Angel Kennedy

The arrival of spring makes many people eager to get outdoors, and there's no better way to celebrate the changing of the season than with a garden party in your backyard. While you might be eagerly deciding what you'll serve and coming up with a guest list, it's also valuable to give some thought to which items you'll want to rent to keep everyone comfortable. You may wish to rent plates, glasses, and cutlery to avoid having to use your own items, but there are a number of other things that you'll want to rent to augment your gathering. Here are some suggestions.

Tent

A tent is a must-have item for your springtime garden party. With weeks of planning devoted to this event, you can't afford to have rain derail the good times. If your guest list is long, it might not be practical to have everyone inside your house, so the simple solution to this issue is to rent a tent. Speak to your local party rental service to find a tent that will suit your needs. You can let the rental agent know how many people will be attending your gathering, and he or she will suggest an appropriate size of tent. It's also worthwhile to consider an elevated wood floor so that if it does indeed rain, guests' feet are dry.

Infrared Heaters

A dip in the weather may threaten the enjoyment of your guests. After all, no one wants to stand outside in chilly temperatures. You can overcome this challenge by renting one or more infrared heaters. Often powered by a standard propane tank, these heaters will make your backyard cozy and hospitable for those in attendance. You'll find that people who are naturally cool will gravitate toward these heaters, so you can set up a few throughout your backyard.

Lights

If your backyard party will go late into the evening, you'll want some form of light — and your back porch light just won't cut it. Party rental companies often have a selection of eye-catching lights that blend function and beauty. For example, a series of stringed lights affixed to your fence, wrapped around trees, or mounted to your tent will provide some valuable illumination for the gathering. You can power these lights with an extension cord plugged into an outlet at the rear of your home — just make sure to tuck the cords away so they're not underfoot.

Once I bought my first home, I realized I wanted to dedicate a portion of the yard for a garden. I wanted to grow some fruits and veggies that I could use inside for cooking, but I wasn't sure how to get started. Fortunately, a neighbor of mine heard about my project and suggested a great continuing education class about beginning gardening. When I started going, I was overwhelmed, but I quickly realized that the information was valuable and interesting.
