Utilizing a tent for your event is becoming much more popular because of all of the many benefits of it. If you are planning on using a tent, consider adding these 7 party tent accessories that will take your event to the next level.
If you have decided to host a party outdoors in a party tent, then go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. What a wise decision.
Event tents are a great way to enjoy life outdoors with your friends and family without falling victim to everything you don’t want outdoors. You know, the bugs, the heat, the cold, the rain, the snow, the wind, the dirt, and so forth.
But, although renting a tent can provide you some great protection, it is all the extra party tent accessories that can take your party from great to absolutely amazing. So before you seal the deal on your tent rental, check out this list of 7 tent accessories you need, but have never even thought of. You can thank us later.
1. A Clear-Paneled Tent
Let’s say, for a moment, that you are choosing to have your party outdoors because you are an avid outdoors person. Or, if this is your wedding, you love the natural surroundings of the place you selected to set up your tent.
So, you rent a tent. And, when it is constructed and ready to go, you realize that you are in a tent outdoors but it no longer feels like you are outdoors. Event tents can be pretty amazing these days and can easily make an outdoor event feel as though it is being held indoors.
Therefore, if outdoors is what you are looking for as the backdrop to your party/celebration/wedding, then you need a clear-paneled tent. This gives you all the perks of having a tent – without giving up your view.
2. Heating or Air Conditioning
As we mentioned, tents can be really awesome nowadays. And, yes, they can even include heating and air conditioning – depending on the season and the weather. What you are looking for is called an HVAC system, or a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system.
If you are looking for rugged surroundings, then skip the HVAC. But, if you are wanting to keep your guests content and happy, then you will want to keep them comfortable. Face it, there are few places in the U.S. that don’t have incredibly hot summers. And, unless you live in the south, wickedly cold winters.
You surely are not going to want to plan your party or event around the weather.
All you have to do is rent a tent and include an HVAC system as one of your party tent accessories. Your guests will be happy and you certainly won’t regret your decision.
3. Dance Floor
Having a dance floor is an accessory that not every party needs. You know, Little Charlie’s 5th birthday party or the company BBQ are not likely to have many dancers – despite how exciting that could make it.
But, there are many parties that warrant a dance floor. And, if you don’t have one, you are missing out. Dancing can be done anywhere, but when hosting an event where people are standing up to get down, why not top off the party with a place to do it?
Party tent accessories, such as dance floors, come in different styles. Do you want a decorative, fancy, light up dance floor?
You’ve got it.
Do you want a basic designated dance floor space?
No problem.
4. Walls
You rent a tent to hold your party event outdoors for one reason or another. Though, no matter how much you like the outdoors, Mother Nature can send weather your way that can really put a damper on the event.
That is unless you are prepared with your party tent accessories!
Tent rentals come without walls. However, you can choose to add these to your rental to provide you with protection from the weather.
Believe it or not, having walls up can protect your party from wind, rain, snow, ice, and so much more. In fact, inclement weather doesn’t really stand a chance against the walls of a tent.
Don’t spend your time, money, and effort to throw a party that is left at the mercy of the weather. Protect yourself and your guests and your party will go off without a hitch – rain or shine!
5. Lighting
We use lighting to see, but did you know it can also be used as a decorating tool. If you are renting a tent for a party that is scheduled for the evening – or you believe it may spill over into evening hours – then you need to be prepared for lighting.
Consider accessorizing your tent with lighting in magical ways, creating your perfect ambiance. Or use colored lighting as part of the decorations. Have lights shining in various ways and using various techniques. Or, simply use it to draw attention to a focal point in the tent.
6. Stage
Depending on the type of event you are having, you may or may not prefer to have a stage. However, if you are having a band, a DJ, a speaker, plan to give toasts, etc. you may want to consider it.
Stages don’t have to be large and take up too much space. They can just simply be a raised platform for someone to stand out in a tent atmosphere.
7. Flooring
Maybe you are having an event outdoors because you love the outdoors – including feeling grass between your toes. If so, then wonderful!
However, if you have something more in mind, know that you can add flooring with your party tent accessories.
Flooring gives you a slightly raised space to work with, which protects you from things such as rain puddles and so forth that may otherwise slide their way into your tent. Of course, it also makes walking a bit easier for those ladies formally dressed.
Conclusion
When it comes to renting a tent for your next party, remember that you can have it as rugged or as elegant as you want.
You can feel like you are outdoors in a tent. Or, you can feel like you are inside a magical space.
All you need is a tent and some party tent accessories. Which will you choose?
