You’ve got the date set, the guest list finalized, the tables and tents booked—what could possibly go wrong? Well, the truth is… it’s usually the small things that slip through the cracks. At Martinez Party Rentals, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to make sure your party goes off without a hitch. Here are the most commonly forgotten party details—and the rental items we have to solve them!
1. Trash Cans & Cleanup Supplies
After the fun, comes the cleanup. One of the most overlooked essentials? Trash cans! Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or family BBQ, your guests need somewhere to toss plates, napkins, and bottles.
2. Lighting for Evening Events
Once the sun sets, will your party fade into the darkness? Lighting is often an afterthought, but it’s key to keeping the celebration going.
✅ We offer:
- Globe string lights for tents and patios
- LED uplighting to match your party theme
3. Serving & Display Tables
You remembered the guest tables, but what about the food? Dessert displays, buffet lines, drink stations—all need a sturdy setup.
✅ We recommend:
- 6’ or 8’ rectangular tables for food and beverage areas
- Cocktail tables for mingling zones
- Table skirting and linens to dress it all up
4. Extra Seating
A few unexpected RSVPs or guests bringing plus-ones? It happens. Always have extra chairs on hand.
✅ Choose from:
- Folding chairs for easy, affordable backup
- Padded white chairs for a more polished look
5. Weather Protection
We can’t control the weather, but we can prepare for it. A clear day can quickly turn hot, windy, or rainy.
✅ Don’t forget:
- Pop-up tents for shade and showers
- Sidewalls to block wind
- Cooling fans or patio heaters depending on the season
6. Beverage Stations
Drinks are often handled last minute—but they’re a key part of the guest experience.
7. The Details That Make It Special
The extras are what make your event your event. Don’t forget to personalize your space!
✅ Consider renting:
- Backdrop stands for a photo booth or cake table
- Draping and linens in your color scheme
