Party Patter: Are You Tent Savvy?
I have been doing many events over the years in outdoor tents. I have found through my own experience that not only do they provide shelter from sun and rain, but also create a more intimate setting for your guests. They are a unique venue for weddings, showers, and graduations.I thought we could spend a little time going over tenting structures so that if you have an event in the future, you will have some idea if what's involved.There are many types of tents form the very basic to the extremely elegant.Tent sizes range from 10-by-10 feet to as large as 100-by-300 feet. The first thing you need to do is inspect the area in which you are placing the tent. Check to see that there are no tree branches or electrical wires in the way. Placing a tent on a flat surface is easy but what if you have a smaller area? Here are a few questions you need to ask your self.
- How many guests will be coming?
- Will the tent be installed in the grass?
- Do you need tent walls?
- Do you need room for a head table, buffet table, beverage area?
- Do you need a dance floor?
- Do you need lights if the party goes into the evening?
- 6-by-30 foot rectangle table seats up to eight.
- 8-by-30 foot rectangle table seats up to 10.
- A 48-inch round table seats six to eight.
- A 60-inch round table seats eight to 10.
