As spring approaches, we can expect an increase in events and celebrations for an array of celebration types. If you find yourself wanting to gather but you don’t have a birthday coming up or an exciting announcement to make, you don’t need one. If you don’t have a reason to celebrate, make one! In 2022 alternative bashes will be trending! People will be celebrating anything and everything! Grimes Events & Party Tents has all the rentals you need to celebrate all wins, big or small.

 

Divorce Party: To New Beginnings!

Although a divorce is undoubtedly one of the hardest life events that someone can go through, after the storm comes a rainbow.

This trending event gives a new attitude to divorce, welcoming the re-alignment of your life path!

 

End of Student Loan Celebration

After completing your degree, it can feel like you finished a marathon, but that’s not quite the end. With years of schooling comes debt that’s often more than your yearly income after college. Once that debt is paid off the race is over, and you can exhale. This triumph calls for celebration. We see more people celebrating this milestone as they say goodbye to student loan payments.

 

Adoptions

A new addition to the family should always be celebrated. Welcome your new family member to an adoption celebration. Get all your adoptee’s favorites and decorate your event with items that represent them. This will make them feel more at home while also showing guests their interests to get to know them better. Adoptions don’t stop at people… you can celebrate an adopted pet or adopted a lifestyle as well! Get creative and celebrate new facets of your daily life.

 

Empty Nest Celebration

The kids are off to college, and you can finally say, “I did it”.  As a parent, you sacrifice so much to shape and guide your children. As they spread their wings and fly out of the nest, they only have you to thank for your hard work and dedication through the years. When your children do great things it’s a direct reflection of you! Now that’s something worth celebrating. Invite your close friends and family to celebrate this new chapter to acknowledge the legacy you’ve created.

Event Planning: Selecting Your Venue

 

Picking a venue for your event can be a big part of your overall event planning process. Make selecting a venue easy by learning what to look for when beginning to search. Start with a vision and purpose for your event, then incorporate these tips to create the perfect venue space.

 

Location

Location is important to keep in mind when choosing a venue. The region where the venue is located can affect how accessible it is for guests. Without a guest, there is no event. Ensure that all guests can travel safely and have efficient access to enjoy all aspects of the venue space. Look into entrance ramps and parking spaces at your venue location.  Speaking of space, one of the first things you should know when picking a venue is how many guests will be there. This will establish the size venue that’s needed and can impact the comfortability of the venue.

 

Select a place

Once you have addressed the event size, you can decide where you want your event to take place. Finding a venue that has all your event needs in one place and can be designed to carry your theme is crucial. Although the fastest way to select a venue is picking one that is already built, it can be hard to get everything you want out of one venue space. The room could be large but there is only one bathroom, or there is a dancefloor but not much room to dance. If you find yourself having a difficult time checking all the boxes of your venue requirements, don’t settle. Building your venue can be more personalized and just as fun. For more information about personalizing your event space, read our blogs on Tent Rentals for Every Event and What is Your Event Décor Style?

 

Build your own space

Starting from scratch allows the event planner to build out the event the way they imagined, and not what the venue confines them to. A great way to build a custom venue is by renting a party tent. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of sizes and styles of outdoor party tents. Another great aspect of a party tent is it can be put anywhere opening the doors for endless locations. It can be on a beach, a farm, a park, or even your backyard. No matter where the event is, its one-of-a-kind setup will leave a lasting impression.

When you build out an event you can use one tent or multiple to build the structure of your choice. Add on rooms inside the tent or just off the tent to accommodate a lounge in addition to your event space. This is a great way to incorporate an upscale lounging area for your guests to relax. Maximize your space by organizing it the way it works best for your event. Incorporate rentals like a stage for entertainment, a floor for dancing, rentals for catering, and even luxury portable restrooms. Grimes Events & Party Tents has countless event rentals that will transform your space into a one-of-a-kind venue.

 

Transforming your venue

Décor, theme, style, and functionality are all essential parts of having a memorable venue. Think about what kind of event this is and what kind of response you would like to evoke from your guest. Figuring out what you want out of your event will help you determine the essence of the celebration.  The theme or subject of the event will be the inspiration for the setup and décor inside. Tableware, statement pieces, lighting, music, colors, seating, refreshments, and any other personalization will make up the theme of the event. Think about the atmosphere you are trying to create with the décor. Will it be warm, cool, airy, intimate, fun, or sophisticated? The list goes on and creativity takes over. Take stock of your decorative goals for the venue and start trying things out.  Its highly recommended to take furniture, décor, and color swatches to the venue to get an idea of what the final product could look like.

If you are finding it hard to spark creativity, get inspiration from other events. Research common themes or trending décor to get a feel of beautiful materials you can include in your décor. A great source of inspiration is from event planning businesses like Grimes Events & Party Tents. Check out our social media and website to view our gallery of successful event setups.

Summer Party Rentals

The summer months offer beautiful weather that makes any outdoor event a huge hit. Make sure your summer party is set up for success by renting the right equipment!

Tents

There’s one thing we know for sure about Florida – it brings the heat! Between the intense sunshine and afternoon rain showers, every outdoor summer party should be prepared with a tent rental! Alone, tents offer shade and keep your guests dry in case of rain. However, when paired with tent accessories, such as side curtains, tents can transform an outdoor space into the perfect place to spend a summer day in Florida. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have a wide variety of tents including frame tents, pole tents, high peak tents, structural tents, and pop-up tents!

Lounge Furniture

Summer is all about kicking back and relaxing! Lounge furniture is the perfect way to ensure your guests have somewhere comfortable to sit, chat, and sip on their drinks. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have two types of lounge furniture available for rental. Our tufted lounge furniture allows you to mix and match corner pieces, center pieces, and ottomans to create the perfect layout. The Sobe lounge chair and sofa are great alternatives that offer a more modern look.

Air Conditioning

Making sure your guests are comfortable should be one of your top priorities when planning an event. Beat the heat this summer by renting cooling products along with your tent! Ceiling fans can be attached to the roof of your tent to save space and keep your event looking classy while also ensuring airflow throughout the space. We also offer Cool-A-Zone units for rental! These air conditioning units can lower the ambient temperature by 10 – 25 degrees. They are energy-efficient, easy to use, and do not require any special installation.

Restroom Trailers

Many summer events happen outdoors. Therefore, it’s important to consider the practical necessities like restrooms! If your event is being held outdoors, consider renting a luxury restroom trailer. Grimes Events & Party Tents is pleased to offer four variations of restroom trailers.

3 Stall Restroom Trailer: Private spaces, two women’s and one men’s, equipped with LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and individual sinks.

What is Your Event Décor Style?

Every event is different and therefore every event calls for a unique style. From rustic to vintage, modern to glam, there is a décor style for everyone!

Vintage

Vintage décor is all about the intentional use of antiques to create a warm, nostalgic environment. Quiet and elegant, vintage style events can transport guests to a simpler time. Monochromatic color schemes, distressed furniture, and tufted chairs are often used in this style of decorating. Delicate flowers, LED string lights, and satin rosette linens will bring a timeless sense of vintage elegance to any event.

Glam

For those inclined toward luxury, a glam style event would suit your needs! This Hollywood-styled décor is all things fabulous with the use of delicate lace and glittering embellishments. Elegant flowers, pipe and drape, and beaded chandeliers make any event feel high-fashion!

Shabby Chic

Shabby Chic combines vintage and glam decorations with an artistic focus. Distressed furniture, mixed and matched accessories, and a few natural elements help to create a perfectly shabby chic environment for any event. To achieve this look, use neutral colors, marble or brass, and vintage accents.

Modern

The modern world is sleek and fashionable. If you want to throw an event with a minimalistic feel, then modern style is the one for you! Simple color schemes using elements such as metal, glass, and steel will help your event feel polished and sophisticated. Comfortable lounge furniture will give your guests a place to kick back while LED decorations bring a sense of energy to the event!

Rustic

Rustic events are for those who have an appreciation for simplicity and are drawn to nature. Events decorated with a rustic style are often held outdoors or inside country barns. Regardless of the location, any event can have a rustic style! Details in rustic décor can include the use of woods, metals, burlap, ribbons, and more. Barrels, crates, bistro lights, mason jars, and flowerpots filled with wildflowers can give any event a warm, rustic feel!

Grimes Events & Party Tents is here to help with your next event! We have rentals for every style and offer top-notch customer service. Call us today to get started!

Wedding Trends 2021

The wedding industry has seen many changes over the past year. As we venture into the wedding season in 2021, make note of which trends have stayed and which appear to be over.

Sequel Weddings

After hosting a pandemic wedding with a restricted guest list, many couples are choosing to host another party for those who were unable to attend the first time around. Many couples are choosing to renew their vows during these ceremonies. Others saved their first dance and toasts for the sequel wedding to make the occasion special!

Weekday Weddings

After many 2020 weddings were postponed due to the pandemic, we are now seeing more weddings than usual scheduled to take place in 2021. This results in hard-to-find bookings and availability. Therefore, weekday weddings are becoming more and more popular as not only an alternative for availability but also to save money, as many venues offer discounted prices during the week.

Backyard Weddings

Hosting a wedding in a backyard was a trend that truly burst out of the gate during 2020. However, this trend is far from over. Again, due to the limited availability of venues because of the many weddings being planned for this coming year, many couples are opting to have their weddings in their backyards. This alternative venue allows for flexibility and personalization that no other venue can offer!

Tents & Twinkly Lights

A tent is a perfect complement to any backyard or outdoor wedding. With so many options to choose from, creating a magical atmosphere for the special day is easy. Tent choices include frame tents, pole tents, and high-peak tents. To top it off, creating an ambiance is easy by hanging up string lights in any number of ways.

Formal Dining

To encourage health and safety, many weddings are limiting the amount of serve-yourself, buffet-style food that they serve and instead opting for restaurant-style, formal dining options. Another added measure many couples are taking when planning their big day is assigned seating. Doing this helps to limit the amount of contact people have with those who live outside their households.

Alternative Entertainment

With the pandemic still being a concern this year, wedding entertainment has taken a big turn. Instead of hiring bands or DJs and having people congregate on the dance floor, couples are choosing to hire alternative entertainment for their guests that make it easy to maintain social distancing. These entertainers can include comedians, illusionists, acrobats, sketch artists, roaming musicians, and more.

If you are planning your wedding for 2021, reach out to the team at Grimes Events & Party Tents! We have everything you need to help make your special day a success!

Light Up Your Next Event

String lights, in all their forms, are all the rage these days. They can be added to almost anything to bring a touch of magic to your event! String lights can be used as an elegant decoration, to bring attention to an object or space, or establish a sense of ambiance.

A Sense of Ambiance

Hang string lights behind a sheer curtain to diffuse and soften the appearance of string lights while creating a warm, elegant look. Combine our pipe and drape rental with our LED string lights for the ultimate effect!

Make It Personal

Personalize your event by strategically hanging string lights to form a word or shape of an object. The options are endless with this idea! Here are just a few:

  • A newlywed’s last name
  • A heart
  • “Love”
  • “Yum”
  • “Dance”
  • “Relax”
  • A tree
  • The geometric shape

Guiding Light

Tracing the outlines of objects can help draw attention to them! Have your string lights follow the shape of doorways of entrances for a sense of magic or line them up along a pathway to guide your guests in a certain direction.

Center of Attention

Battery operated fairy lights work great as part of a centerpiece! Using a large glass vase, lantern, or bottle, arrange the fairy lights within to create a dazzling centerpiece for your table. Add other elements to this combination as well to support the theme of your event such as flowers, shells, or holiday ornaments!

Picture This…

Create a photo wall by hanging string lights horizontally and attaching pictures between the bulbs. This is a popular idea for intimate affairs such as weddings, birthday parties, and more. Not only will your photo wall look amazing, but it will also give your guests something to interact with!

Light It Up

The most common way to use string lights is by hanging them overhead. For a creative twist, hang the lights in a zig-zag pattern or have them flow downward to create a beautiful backdrop.

String lights present endless possibilities. For more ideas, contact the talented team at Grimes Events & Party Tents. We have everything you need to light up your event!
