#TransformationThursday – Birthday Party Edition!

 If you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or Pinterest you’ve seen some of our #transformationthursday posts showing how our rentals have turned the simplest space into something truly spectacular!
This week, check out the transformation made to this backyard for a three year old’s PJ Masks Birthday Party! 

Before….Fun Space to run and Play! (But where to sit?)
…besides, this needs to be a PJ Masks Headquarters for the Party!
This space on any other day is perfect for running and playing, but when it came time to party, there wasn’t much sitting space for guests to relax. Plus, a May afternoon birthday meant the sun was shining and a little extra shade was needed to keep the guests cool.  Fifteen white folding chairs, a roundcocktail table, and a blue umbrella table rented from Deborah’s Party Rentals solved those problems!

Check out all that seating and the extra shade from the Umbrella!
One of our rectangle tables covered in plastic table cloths to coordinate with CatBoy, LunaGirl, and Gekko was perfect for holding snacks and drinks.


To make the icing have green speckles like Gekko, just mix in some green sugar sprinkles! Here is a link to some similar cupcake toppers you can print if you’re planning a PJ Masks party.

Speaking of snacks, the shaved ice machine with Blue Raspberry syrup (like CatBoy of course!) was a hit with all of the guests (from under age 1 to over age 70!). What a perfect way to keep cool when the temperature was hanging around 80 degrees.

Everyone wanted seconds on the Shaved Ice.

In addition to the slide and backyard toys that the birthday boy had set out for his friends to play, he also picked out the Fat Cats tossing game to have set up for everyone to enjoy. We have so many fun carnival type games you can rent!

Fat Cats was a fun game for all the kids and adults to play.
A month later, when it came time for this Birthday Boy’s little brother to celebrate his first birthday, the backyard was transformed into an ocean-themed party! (Stay posted for a post about that party in the future).

10 Party Tips that Will Rock Your World

When you’re planning any kind of party, no matter the size, location, theme or occasion certain details must be addressed.  The following list will make your party planning process considerably easier.  These 10 party tips will lighten your load and have your guests cheering for more.  Happy Planning!
1.       Freeze fruit to chill your favorite beverage.  Fruit will not only add flavor to water or wine, but will also keep your beverage of choice cool without watering it down.  Bottoms up!



2.       Use food as a container to serve other food.  This technique is most often seen on fruit and veggie trays, but is an easy way to dress up your buffet.  This is the perfect place for your favorite dip.



3.       Make it clean up easy with baskets lined and labeled for trash and recyclables.  The baskets look nicer than regular trash cans and you won’t be sorting through the mess after the guests go home.



4.       When using extra power sources and extension cords for an outdoor event, make sure to protect the intersection of all your cords by cutting holes in simple disposable containers.  This simple step will prevent guests and their vehicles from shutting down the fun unexpectedly.


5.       When partying outside, don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray stops.  Nothing can kill the fun faster than bug bites and sunburns.



6.       Glow in the dark everything!  If something is fun during the day, it’s even more fun in the dark where it glows.  This can be fun for kids and adults alike and the products are great on the party budget as well!




7.       Use what’s on hand in a new way.  Your guests will be so impressed when you have taken ordinary household or office items and used them in a new way to accommodate your party’s theme of choice.  Get creative!



8.       Light it up!  Nothing changes the mood more effectively than lighting.  Whether you hire pros to create a custom monogram to be highlighted at your wedding reception, or you simply use Christmas lights across your fence to create a romantic effect to your backyard garden party, lightening can make or break your party.




9.       Make sure your food is easy to eat.  All the beautiful displays that can be imagined when entertaining food can underwhelm when guests don’t have an accessible way to eat it.  Try to remember the logistics of your event when planning the menu.  For example, don’t serve steak when guests have nowhere to sit down with a knife and fork.  Finger foods without messy sauces are always crowd pleasers at parties.




10.   Last but not least, don’t forget about the kiddos when planning your next party.  In most cases, you can count on kids being among your guests, so don’t leave them out.  Even if your main focus of the party is an adult centered event, keeping the kids occupied will insure success.  A Kid Zone is the perfect way to keep the integrity of the main theme of your party still intact.



AS you can see, these party tips can be lifesavers for your future successful party planning adventures.  Have Fun!

Back To School Fun

It’s here!  Kids are back in school.  Backyards and neighborhood pools are quiet once again, and soccer fields and playgrounds will be buzzing with activity each afternoon.  What better time to get your neighbors together and kick off the school year right than now?  Deb’s Party Rentals can help you throw a back to school bash that your crew will be talking about all year long.



If you have lots of young kids in your neighborhood, Deb’s can help you plan both adult and kid-friendly activities that will be sure to please the whole family.  Inflatable rentals are always a big hit with the kids and will provide hours of entertainment.  Rented tents and chairs that are already preset will go a long way in relieving the pressure on you to host everyone inside your house and/or borrow mis-matched seating from your invited guests.  You’ll then be able to host with ease in the backyard Deb’s has transformed into a ready-made party space.



However, you might only have the middle and high school busses trapsing through your neighborhood these days as all the kiddos have grown up.  Families with older children enjoy a carnival style party where they can compete against one another for bragging rights.  A carnival style party complete with rented game booths and rides from Deb’s Party Rentals is also a great way to raise money for your local schools.  Neighborhood guests could either pay admission as a donation to the local school, or could use rented attractions, like a dunking booth as a fundraiser to support the school of their choice. 




As you can see, hosting a backyard back to school bash can be simple when you ask the helpful professionals at Deb’s Party Rentals to do the heavy lifting.  Call Today!

The Perfect Tent for Your Next Special Occasion

They provide shade when it’s too sunny, can create walls to keep the heat in and rain out, they can showcase beautiful lighting and floral decor and are a must when planning an outdoor event. Tents can make your outdoor event of any size run seamlessly for you and your guests.



Tent rentals come in all shapes and sizes and can be dressed up or down to suit your event needs. Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding hosting 700 guests, a corporate event for 15,000 or a company picnic for 50, a tent can go along way in protecting what you’ve already invested in food/beverage and decor.



When you rent a tent from Debs Party Rentals, we’ll have it set up long before your other vendors need access to install their portion of the job, and we’ll be back to breakdown when your guests have said their goodbyes. Call today for a quote for your upcoming party.



No job is too big or too small. Don’t let rain in the forecast ruin your neighborhood barbecue. Reserve a tent from Debs Party Rentals rather than rescheduling the fun. Our tents are made to keep the weather out and the fun in.  It it’s too hot out, we can set up an air conditioning unit to keep your guests cool and comfortable.  Want to get married outside in August?  No problem! 



Maybe you’re looking for a unique way to change the look of your favorite event venue. When you rent a tent from Debs Party Rentals, the sky is the limit as far the look you wish to create. Setting up a tent at your event creates an additional room for added space and separate functions. For example, you may plan an outdoor wedding and set your chairs for the ceremony in one area, then create an entirely different feeling space under the tent for your reception.



As you can see, a tent is an absolute must when planning a successful outdoor event. You’ll impress your guests with your planning and design with a tent rented from Debs Party Rentals. Call today!
