Having enough places to sit for an event is a key detail with little to no room for mistakes.
Whether you're planning a wedding, reception, party, or work-related event, your guests will want to sit and be comfortable while they are there.
Have a Seat You may not often think about where or how you sit, but seating is of vital importance at an event, so it is important for chair rental to be a priority as you plan an event.
Seating does not need to be fancy or ornate to fit its intended purpose.
Instead, it should be functional, comfortable, and attractive, lending itself to the overall style of your affair.
Look for options that provide comfort and support for your guests, in a style that fits the décor and design of the occasion.
Styles Available Before you proceed with chair rental, explore the different styles from which you can choose.
A classic choice would be plain, white seating with slat backs and soft, padded seats.
These options are ideal for any type of wedding.
Another option is a simple white folding chair, made out of metal with plastic on the back and seat.
If you prefer a more natural look, opt for simple wood with rustic wood finish and comfortably padded seats.
Bamboo is also an option for more casual events.
Check into special options like children's sizes, too, which would be ideal for a birthday party.
These chairs come in both bright and vivid primary colors.
Dressing Them Up If you prefer a more stylish or fancy chair rental, you can still achieve that look without breaking the bank.
All you need is a little creativity! Make a basic selection and add décor to each chair.
You can cover the backs of the chairs with fabric, tulle, or a wide ribbon tied in a bow.
Make your fabric, tulle, or ribbon match your event colors to coordinate the décor beautifully.
You could also attach an artificial flower to the back of each rental to add a festive touch to match wedding décor.
How Many to Rent To determine your overall chair rental, you will need to know your final guest count.
Some people have a firm guest count, while others will not know the precise number of guests coming until the event itself.
If you don't know your guest count, split the difference between the total number of guests you invited and the total number of affirmative responses you got and order this number.
If you will be serving a meal, you will need a spot for each guest to sit, plus a few extras for security.
The number of tables you need depends on the number of people that can sit at each table comfortably.
Some people opt for a combination of tables with seating and bistro tables that allow guests to stand while they mingle and eat hors d'oeuvres.
If you opt for bistro tables, you can decrease the number of rentals accordingly.
Once you have this detail arranged, you can move on to other concerns as you plan your affair.
