Party, a term itself that makes you hyped for the upcoming celebration. Gathering with friends and family to create several memories is wholesome. Throughout the year, the organizing trends of the party have changed. We have done a 360 degree circle from arranging backyard parties to indoor parties and back to arranging backyard parties.
There are two reasons that we have circled back to the backyard parties: one we are recovering from a pandemic caused by contagious viral, two you can get more creative with the backyard decorations than the house one without moving around a lot of furniture.
In both situations: the more space the better. While everyone agrees on the backyard aesthetics, some disagree on contacting a rental company for the decors as the same can be done independently.
If you calculate the cost of purchasing the decorations vs. the rental fee, you are likely to get the same amount for the decorations but you can save some bucks on service charges as well. However, don't be so quick to judge based only on monetary basis that arranging a party independently is cheaper.
Below we have discussed aspects of organizing a party and compared the experience between hiring a rental company vs. arranging things on your own.
Hiring Party Rentals Vs Sourcing Them on Your Own
Independent Souring:
The first aspect of organizing a party is sourcing the decorations and necessary tangibles such as tables, chairs and clothes to cover, extra outdoor lights, cutlery such as plates, knives, forks and even glasses.
If you are inviting a moderate number of people, then the mention above are few of the basics you will need. Now if you have decided to use the plastic or the recyclable cutlery, you can save a lot of money by purchasing through eBay or amazon in bulk.
Additionally you can purchase cups at 50 cents per cup from a thrift store. This diverse collection of cups will definitely give your party a cool look (except if it's an official marriage ceremony).
While you might save money at the thrift shop, the sourcing will consume a lot of time to arrange everything for the moderate number of people. For independent sourcing you will need to plan months earlier. Moreover, the plastic cutlery is cheaper than the decomposing one but those are not environmentally friendly at all.
Storage and Hygiene:
When it comes to storage and cleaning, rental companies are the most convenient option who will deliver to you clean tangibles (along with ironed curtains, and furniture covers) and fortunately you don't have to clean anything prior to sending them back.
There is literally no upside of purchasing tangibles when it comes to storing and cleaning them. It is a common idea that you will have to pay once and then save the cost of the tangibles every event. However another downside of independent sourcing is that you will need the storage pre and post celebration to secure everything you are purchasing for the event
Apparently, even if you have the space you shouldn't be optimistic about the durability of these tangibles and let's not forget about the pre and post cleaning of the tangibles after every party.
Thinking is Great but Implementing?
Pinterest gives us some major party organizing vibes and 100% aesthetic ideas. The DIY you have binge watched looks easy but trying them out at the last minute will be hectic and you can confirm even from professional party organizers.
Organizing a party and taking responsibility for the decorations as well requires a lot of time and strength, while achieving an aesthetic look will not be easy. You will also require several kinds of tools to fit the decorative and additionally men power as well.
Downsides:
Even if you have the talent to pull an aesthetic look and storage shelve for more decorations but are you ready to use the same decor at each event? We are sure your answer is no! Well, for each theme you will again have to source the decorations, pay more and make more space for the decorations.
Rental Equipment:
Hiring a rental company gives you the benefit of ordering the rental equipment which otherwise are too expensive to think of. These equipment can include the jumping jack, drinks and popcorn machine, food heater, chocolate fountain/ cotton candy machine, centerpieces (you can get customized as well) and more. A rental company can possibly arrange any kind of equipment you want.
Additionally, the party rental companies offer several affordable packages which includes rental equipment and the basics as well.
If you are not an expert, the rental company sets the difference between walking into an event-ready backyard vs. walking into a yard sale of decorations. And the extra (minimal) service charges you give makes that difference.
By now if you are convinced that party rentals are better than purchasing and sorting the decorations, you are probably sad to have let go of your part in organizing the party. If supervising the arrangement is not as fun for you we have another idea!
Other than well-organized parties arranged you need something to keep your guest engaged and something that will mark their day different from the usual days. Since, you will be saving a lot of time thanks to the rental company, in the meantime you can brainstorm games for the event. Depending on the type of event you can come with a series of age appropriate tasks and games.
