Fall will be here before we know it and the temperatures will begin cooling off drastically. The kids will head back to school and we’ll fall back into our normal routines. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the summer towel now! Instead, take full advantage of the remaining few weeks of summer and throw an amazing backyard bash that everyone will be talking about.
In today’s blog, Signature Event Rentals, your Fredericksburg party rentals company, is here offer some ideas on how to throw the best end-of-summer party ever! Keep reading to learn more, or head straight to our rentals page to reserve your party rentals before they’re all gone!
Have Plenty Of Food To Go Around
Just because you’re hosting the party doesn’t mean you have to be in charge of all the cooking. Ask your guests to bring a tub of their favorite sides while you grill up the burgers and hot dogs. Backyard favorites include potato salad, sliced watermelon, baked beans, and chili.
Don’t Forget About The Dessert
When it comes to picking the right dessert, remember that this might be one of the last times it’s hot enough to sit outside and enjoy something frozen, so take full advantage of that. Choose something cold like snow cones, ice cream, or popsicles to pass around. It’s easy and you don’t have to make it yourself — a win-win!
Have Some Games Prepared
You can have organized games that encourage everyone to participate such as trivia or a water balloon fight, but you can also simply set out some giant Jenga or a couple corn hole boards for people to play as they wish.
Soak Up The Sun… Just Not Too Much
Of course, as summer dwindles you will likely be holding on to every sparkling ray of summer sun you can. But that doesn’t mean your guests want to wrap up the summer with a sunburn. Be sure to give them plenty of shade under a big white tent rental.
Keep The Kids Busy
Our inflatable rentals are the perfect way to keep the kids entertained while the adults kick back and relax. An inflatable slide or bouncy castle rental will keep them running off any energy they may have gotten from all the sugary desserts.
Keep The Party Going
Just because the sun went down doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. If you have a firepit in your backyard light it up and roast marshmallows around it. Or, turn the barbecue into a true party with a dance floor and some strobe lights. If you don’t have a good pair of speakers, consider investing in some or renting a PA system for the night so you can rock out to all your favorite jams.
Make Plenty Of Memories
Of course, what good is a party if no one remembers it? We recently added a Magic Mirror Photo Booth to our party rental arsenal! With this photo booth rental, you and your guests can use the included props to take funny and fantastic pictures and enjoy the free 6×4 photo prints! Using the Magic Mirror Photo Booth, you can draw on your photo and add emojis before the images are printed.
