When planning a graduation party for your son or daughter, there is a long list of items that need to be completed. One of the more popular items on that list is throwing a graduation party. Celebrating this huge milestone and accomplishment is fun for the graduates and the adults. The not-so-fun part is the planning, cleaning, organizing, inviting and the unknowns, like how much food do I need, where will I have the party, how can I accommodate all of these guest.
One idea that is very popular for graduation parties is having the party at your house and having a tent in your driveway or yard.
We listed the Top 5 reasons, we have heard from our Florida customers on why they wanted to rent a tent for their son or daughters graduation party:
1. Add Shelter for any types of weather: Tents can add shelter for a hot sun and if it rains. Florida for example, has been known to have unpredictable weather. Occasionally this is the most common first – thought on why anyone would rent a tent but we believe the next 4 are the most important reasons for the renting a graduation party tent.
2. Adds an Extension to your home to accommodate more guest: gradation party tents are a great way to add a temporary extension and extra square footage to your house for the party. You can add anywhere from 400 sq ft to 4000 depending on how big your party and yard are. It’s completely up to you.
3. Keeps Guest Outside and your house clean: Having a tent outside will keep your guest outside. By keeping your guest outside this will reduce the foot traffic in your house which will in turn, reduce the amount of cleaning you will have to do in the house on the Sunday or Monday after the party.
4. Overflow for unexpected guest (FB and Social Media): Facebook and Social Media has changed the way parents are planning for their graduation parties. There’s typically not an RSVP for these types of invites. Typically the graduates or graduates friends post a status update like “Lindsay’s graduation party, 6-1-13, starting at 6, bring whoever”. This makes it difficult to plan for unanswered questions: Who will show up, how many will show up, will they stay long, will they eat? Having a tent outside helps accommodate for the unknown guest.
5. It’s just fun to have one: Nothing says you’re having a party like a tent. Think about it, every time you drive in a neighborhood and see a nice tent, you think to yourself, “they must be having a party!” Not only are they functional but they set the mood for the party and guest. They add a flare to your event. They provide an area for people to mingle, eat and drink.
Our list above of the top 5 reasons why our customers rented a tent for their son or daughter’s graduation party hopefully helped.

Adding lighting to your next Florida tent rental can be used to make a statement, enhance the classiness of your event or for the functionality of keeping the party going to the wee hours of the night.
The 6 Awesome Grimes Events & Party Tents Lighting Options we discovered are:
Crystal Chandeliers: Our 3ft long, cascading chandeliers add just the touch of simple elegance.
Italian Market Lighting: This is the most traditional tent lighting. It has light a little smaller than a traditional light bulb on a light strand and can be installed around the perimeter of the tent or through the middle.
LED Light Strands: These are a great way to add a unique look to your event and make it give it a natural out door look.
Up lighting: Up lighting provides great accent lighting to your event and can add a real pop of color! It makes a statement and provides the classy look that any wedding or upscale event can use to color accent their event.
Paper Lanterns: Are a great way to provide a unique lighting over the crowd, they come in many different colors and sizes, they are an elegant look that is great for weddings and gala events. These Lanterns can also be used without lights for excellent aesthetics for your event.
Globe Chandelier: Go retro with our Globe chandelier. It’s comprised of white plastic and is 24? tall and 24? in diameter with 4 branches. We can install a dimmer switch as well.
Optional lighting is an excellent accent your party. It will enhance the look and feel of your event making it elegant and classy.
It’s your big day, and you want everything to be perfect. You are, however, going to have to give a little. When planning an outdoor wedding, it is critical to make preparations for all kinds of weather. Party tent rentals or wedding tent rentals can be fresh and simple, or sophisticated and detailed. Wedding tents rentals will keep guests comfortable in summer heat and/or protect dresses and suits if it should rain.
Make your guests’ comfort top priority by making sure your site is well-equipped with things like fans, outdoor heating units, well-lit paths to the bathrooms, refreshing non-alcoholic drinks, and citronella candles.
Be Considerate of All Guests
Keep your senior guests in mind as you plan the ceremony and reception. If you are inviting young children, you will need to consider them, too. I recommend if there will be a lot of walking from the parking lot to the clearing in the woods or a beach walk where the ceremony is, let them know ahead of time on the website or even the invite.
Keep Your Wedding Well-Lit
The Knot recommends lighting up your reception area with paper lanterns, strands of lights, candles, and delicate chandeliers. Lights can make the difference between a drab, boring wedding – or a beautiful, unforgettable venue.
Outdoor weddings are all the rage. Keep your outdoor wedding planning under wraps with party tent rentals, clear descriptions of the venue for guests of all ages, and plenty of twinkling lights.
