How to Rent Tables for a Party in Fort Lauderdale

Large parties require a lot of supplies and equipment, including chairs, decorations, flowers, tents, tables and more. There are many sources for party supplies in the Fort Lauderdale area. If you need to rent tables for a party, there are several factors that you need to consider before just running out and renting them.

• 1
  Count the number of people that you know are coming to the party and add 10 or some more seats for those who may show up without letting you know they are coming.
• 2
  Look over the party area and figure what size and shape tables will fit in the area best. Round tables are more conversation-friendly than rectangular tables. Take measurements of the actual space where the tables will be located and exclude space that needs to be used for other things, such as the buffet table or dance floor.

  Draw out the party area on grid paper, with each block used as a specific distance, such as 1 foot. Block off the areas on the paper that cannot be used and decide how much space you want between tables. Remember that when people are seated, chairs with be out from the tables by at least a foot. Draw tables in the space to see how many of each type you could fit and select which will work better for the number of people that are coming.
