We many be coming into winter but birthdays are year round! Here are our Top 10 Party Rentals ideas to help make your birthday a hit!
Weather can be unpredictable, especially for outdoor events (and definitely in the winter!), so a tent or canopy is an essential rental for ensuring your party goes off without a hitch. Not only will a tent protect guests from sun or rain, but with a big enough space, you can also provide a designated area for eating, dancing, or relaxing. With different sizes available, you can choose one that fits your guest list and space needs. Add lighting or leg drapes to create a festive ambiance.
Comfortable seating and ample space for food, gifts, and decor are essential for any birthday party. Renting tables and chairs allows you to tailor the layout of your party to suit your theme and guest count. Whether you need cocktail tables, long banquet tables, or elegant chairs, Chairs for Affairs offer a variety of options to fit any style or budget. Plus, we'll handle delivery and setup, and even help you pick out linens or decor (give us a call to make an appointment with a rental specialist!). For casual outdoor events (when the weather permits) we offer outdoor sectional furniture and adirondack chairs.
For a little kid's birthday party, a bounce house is such a fun addition! They provide hours of entertainment and ensure kids are physically active while having a blast. While we don't carry these at Chairs for Affairs, there are plenty of companies in our area that specialize in inflatable rentals. Companies offer various sizes and themes, from princess castles to superhero inflatables, so you can match the bounce house to your party’s theme. Be sure to choose a safe and properly maintained unit to guarantee fun for everyone and look at reviews online to ensure the company is reputable and focuses on safety!
Photo booths are a blast! A photo booth adds a fun, interactive element to any birthday party. Guests can snap silly or serious photos with fun props, and you'll have a collection of memories to look back on. Many DJ and production companies offer photo booths with instant printouts, customizable backdrops, and even digital sharing options. Keep your guests engaged and as an added benefit, guests get to leave with a souvenir!
Whether you’re hosting a dance party or making announcements during the event, a quality sound system is essential. Renting speakers, microphones, and a DJ setup ensures everyone can hear the music, speeches, or special moments clearly. If you plan on playing a playlist or having a live performance, professional-grade equipment can help create the right atmosphere and ensure the sound quality is top-notch.
Transform your party venue with rental lighting that adds atmosphere and drama. String lights, chandeliers, or LED uplighting can enhance your event space, whether it’s indoors or outdoors. If you're throwing a night-time bash or need extra mood lighting, the right rental lights can completely change the vibe. Plus, you can often find customizable lighting options to fit any color scheme or theme.
If you’re planning to serve a meal at your birthday party, renting catering equipment is a practical way to handle food and drinks. Items like chafing dishes, buffet tables, drink dispensers, and bar setups can streamline service and keep everything organized. Many rental companies also offer linens, dinnerware, and glassware, so you can ensure your event looks polished without the hassle of purchasing everything yourself.
For a more formal or lively celebration, a dance floor can be a great rental addition. A dedicated space for dancing can help define your party area and keep guests engaged. Whether it’s a sleek black or white floor or a colorful LED-lit option, renting a dance floor makes the party feel more like a special event and ensures that everyone has a designated spot to cut loose.
For a fun and unique twist, consider renting concession stands like cotton candy machines, popcorn machines, or snow cone makers. These items add an extra layer of excitement and nostalgia to your birthday party. If you’re having a kids' party, they’ll love the novelty of having fun treats made on the spot. Plus, concession stands often become a fun focal point for guests to gather around.
Renting interactive games or entertainment can keep guests entertained throughout the event. Think of items like a giant Jenga set, cornhole boards, or carnival games. If you want to take it up a notch, some rental companies like Chairs for Affairs offer giant board games or interactive video game setups for a more modern twist. Renting games ensures everyone has something to do and helps break the ice for guests who may not know each other.
The moral of the story is...be creative! Figure out what your budget is and from there, reach out to rental companies like Chairs for Affairs Party Rentals and let us help you design a party to envy! From fun activities like bounce houses and photo booths to practical essentials like tables and sound systems, rentals can make your party planning easier and more efficient. Take the stress out of organizing your next birthday bash and let us help you throw an event your guests will talk about for years to come!
