Attending an outdoor party is always a good time. Whether you’re in your teens and you’re going to Sweet Sixteen parties or Bar Mitzvahs, or you’re attending wedding parties, there is surely fun to be had at these events. Being a guest to these parties is one thing. Being in charge of setting up these parties, however, can be a nightmare.

With the right tent and party equipment rentals, you can transform your backyard into the ultimate ballroom experience, no matter your budget. As of 2012, the average wedding cost $26,951, but let’s not forget the reception, which on average cost $13,106. Worst of all, location can drive up the cost, too. Always dreamed of getting married in New York City? That’ll be $70,030!

Sweet sixteen season can certainly be exciting. However, many parties ultimately end up being exactly the same! You know the drill: indoor catering hall, candle ceremony, cheesy party favors (after all, how many pairs of oversized sunglasses can you even have?!).

In 2012, the average cost of a wedding reception was $13,106. And that doesn’t even cover the ceremony! In fact, with the ceremony, the average 2012 wedding cost an average of $26,951. If those figures are making you sweat so hard that your engagement ring is just about to slip off of your trembling finger, it’s time to relax.

Your wedding is supposed to be the most amazing, important, and beautiful day of your life. That being said, from the moment you say, ‘I do,’ the pressure’s on. And because of this, many a bride-to-be has made a massive mistake or two in the days leading up to the wedding.

If you’re planning a wedding this year, you probably already know how in-depth and stressful the process can be. From invitations, to decorations, to budget management and beyond, it can feel like you’re juggling hundreds of tasks at once! And if you haven’t come up with ideas for the wedding party itself, it can feel like you have a whole other event to tackle!

From invitations to budgeting, party planning is no walk in the park. And even once you have all of the logistical details mastered, there’s still decor to consider. Luckily, decorating your event is a fun to-do.

When it comes to planning a wedding or backyard party, there sure is a lot to keep track of. From the party tent rentals to the party equipment, from the hors d’oeuvres to the table renting, it can seem overwhelming to plan it all from stem to stern. In all the hullabaloo, it’s entirely possible to forget the few magical touches that will turn your event from a snoozer to a barnburner.

This year, 93% of brides-to-be are using the internet to plan their wedding and reception, most often on apps like Pinterest. But couples are also using social media after — and sometimes during — their weddings, getting hundreds of ‘Likes’ and ‘Shares’ for wedding posts. Meanwhile, we’ve already seen Bar Mitzvah invitations go viral this year, and virtually all teens are posting photos from their Sweet Sixteen’s and Quinceañera celebrations online.

Planning a party can be an incredibly stressful endeavor, especially if it’s a milestone birthday, anniversary, or wedding. There are often hundreds of details to agonize over, from invitations to decorations, food, and/or activities. But if you stay organized and take each thing as it comes, you should have no trouble at all. Keep in mind that depending on party size, location, and event type, you’ll have to adjust.
