Fun Seniors 2018

5/30/2018

When you’re in the business of “Fun,” it’s rare that a post gets to you. We try to offer tips and tricks to make your events great, we show you behind the scenes glimpses of us and what we do…. we don’t get sappy. Sappy isn’t FUN! However, once a year, I try to do a post honoring the seniors that have worked for us throughout the years.

Usually it’s just a quick blurb in the middle of another blog. These kids truly do become part of our families – and it’s not unusual to see them come back and visit us here at the office when they come home from college.
This year, it’s a little different. This year, one of “our own” is graduating, along with 6 other amazing kids. This means that I’m working on a tent, tables and chairs rental of my own. This means I’m scouring our blog for tips on how to plan a great open house. And around Fun Services in June, it means scheduling that open house and hoping we don’t get too crazy busy!
Without further ado – the Fun Services Graduating Class of 2018.

Also, graduating from Olivet College this year are two amazing young men who worked for us, not only on events, but in the warehouse for the last few years. Jesse and Mike were both a great help as warehouse workers and supervisors. Mike has returned home to continue working, and Jesse will be moving to New York at the end of the summer to pursue a graduate degree and help coach a college wrestling team.

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!
