Wedding Rental Tips and Planning

Idaho Wedding Rentals

Consider utilizing wedding rentals for planning resources as well as budget savers

Even if you’re in the beginning stages of your Idaho wedding planning, don’t forget to utilize local wedding rental resources. You might not even know your venue or how many people you are inviting – or maybe you have the day and place picked out but aren’t sure how you want to decorate for your wedding. Don’t forget, the professionals at wedding rental facilities are experts who have helped plan hundreds of weddings – use them for their experience!

If you’re searching for ideas or inspiration, make an appointment and look through books of past weddings they have done. Go armed with questions! Consider asking the following:

  • Are there any big trends you are seeing?
  • What kind of things can be rented?
  • What advice do you have to a bride that’s just getting started?
  • How do you calculate the number of items you need?
  • Do you have any cost saving ideas?
  • Can you work within my budget?
  • Do you recommend any particular venues?
  • I’ve already chosen my venue – have you had any particular complications or things that worked really well at that venue in the past?
  • What important things to people often forget to order?
  • Can you handle all of my renting needs?

Environmentally friendly wedding transportation

13 Nov
Airport Shuttle Bus

Have your guests take advantage of shuttle busses

With a bit of planning, it is easy to make your wedding more earth-friendly, from the invitations that you choose to the attire, the food, and the dishware. The suggestions discussed over the last month can be incorporated into other events as well, from anniversary parties to company picnics.

By making a few changes, you can do your part to make the Earth a better place and reduce the glut of landfill waste.

Transportation - If you will have a number of out-of-town guests attending the wedding, you might arrange transportation for them so they don’t need to rent cars. Most hotels will provide shuttle service to and from the airport. Many cities offer trolleys and/or shuttle buses that you can rent by the hour to transport guests to and from the ceremony and reception. If your city doesn’t offer such a service, then rent one or more passenger vans and ask a friend or relative to act as chauffeur.

Rental Industry-Pervasive and Dynamic

07 Jan

It was about two thousand years ago when a young couple were on their way to pay their taxes and needed to rent a room. Well, as you may be able to guess, the rental industry of the time was unable to keep up with demand. They let them borrow their barn, because they cared, because taking care of the customer came first and it was the best that they could do.

Today’s rental industry has become pervasive and dynamic. Parents can rent toys for their children. Fashionistas can rent purses and designer dresses. Just about everything is for rent today and it allows everyone to enjoy a lifestyle that would otherwise be unavailable.

Renting allows people access to that which they cannot afford or don’t need to own. Sometimes people rent because of need and sometimes it’s for recreation. Rent to own or rent not to own. I like to think that when I rent something it’s mine while I rent it and I’m just letting whoever I’m renting it from take care of all the problems. Grandparents know what I’m talking about.

I guess when people think of renting stuff or the rental industry they think of small lots full of all kinds of equipment of various shapes and sizes, the function of which may seem quite confusing. When I was a kid I took care of my parents’ lawn. I would mow and trim and water, I thought that’s all there was, oh if I had just walked in and talked to the friendly people at my local rental shop.

Those people at the local rental store are a wealth of friendly information. They can tell you what you need and how to use it, where to get some help and where to get what they may not have. Further, for any event you may have, just walk into the local rental store that has some sparkly stuff in the showroom and there will be the sweetest person who can help you with all aspects of your event.

These “ma & pa” rental stores are a wealth of knowledge, not to mention stuff you need but don’t need to own. Want to tile a floor, rent a tile saw and they’ll help you figure out the rest. Getting married, walk into a rental store and you’ll find someone who will not only rent you dishes but can recommend a caterer, a limo, everything else you need and you can trust them because quite frankly they can’t stay in business if they are not authentic with their recommendations.

The rental industry isn’t just a source for stuff; it’s a dynamic group of experts that can be guideposts for any event or project. Help them help you and I’m sure you’ll find it quite helpful.
