Tents and Tables and Chairs... Oh My!

It is open house and wedding season! For us, that means tents, tables, and chairs are flying in and out the door (I’m listening to one of my colleagues work with a future bride as I type!).

Everyone knows they can set up tables and chairs, but we get a lot of calls and questions about setting up a tent – few people know how easy it is to set them up and take them down (and doing it yourself can be more cost effective, too). Two non-pro’s can realistically set a tent in just over an hour! A few minutes of our advice at pick up, our illustrated instructions, and you’re good to go – I’ve even set one with my husband!

Once it’s up, there are a variety of different options in how you layout your floor plan, but in general, our 20×30 tent’s inner area is about 600 ft² and our 20×40 tent inner area is about 800 ft². General rule for people space is about 10 ft² per person, seated at a table. On our website, we have this handy little diagram for you to use also.

Want to do something different and memorable at your event? Consider a bounce house/slide combo unit to keep the littles entertained. Hire a teenager for an evening to watch them and keep them safe, and the parents can relax and enjoy the event!

Or, what about a few games and some prizes? You could make up goodie bags for each child, or see if a couple of people would award prizes right at the game. We can even match games to fit your theme, or try to get prizes that match your school or wedding colors!

So cool, right? We have had a couple of future brides inquire recently about games, and I can only imagine how much FUN their reception will be!

​Missing something from your open house or wedding? We do our best to have what you need, but if we don’t… we know people! Need a DJ, a dance floor, or a sound system? We can either arrange them for you, or give you a referral for you to make the arrangements.

Whatever you need this graduation/wedding season, we’ve got you covered here at Fun Services!
