Wedding party in your own garden? We have tips!

Are you getting married soon? Of course that includes a party! This can be done on location, but also consider your own garden (or that of friends or family, if you have a garden the size of a postage stamp). It's a shame to rent an expensive location, especially if you plan to hold your wedding in the summer months. Getting married in your own garden is personal and can be done on a smaller budget. Plus you largely keep it entirely in your own hands.

Celebrating your wedding in your own garden comes with a few things that you should consider for a moment. Which things? You can read it below!

Make sure you have enough space

A garden party is fun, but you must have enough space. It is of course not pleasant if your guests are too close to each other. On average, you have to take into account two people per square meter, so if you have 100 guests, you need at least 50 square meters. Don't forget that you will lose space on a bar and other things. So it's really about the space you have left and where people can stand and dance. If your own garden does not have enough space, you can always look at that one uncle or friend with a large garden.

Shelter

The sun is lovely, but a little shelter wouldn't hurt either. It's nice when people don't have the sun in their faces all the time. Now this won't be a problem for evening guests, but of course it will be during the day. So make sure you have a tent or parasol so that you can create some shade in your garden. Also useful for a small rain shower, after all, it is still the Netherlands. Even in the summer it can sometimes rain a little bit. Party tents come in all kinds of sizes and colors, so they don't have to be the eternal white, plastic version.

Inform the neighbors

A good neighbor is better than a distant friend, they say. However, you don't have to feel obliged to invite all your neighbors. The only thing you have to do is inform them that you are having a party. Also keep in mind that you should not continue playing loud music until late at night. If you have the feeling that most people have gone home towards the end, then you can of course continue the party with a select group of people within a few hours. A little inconvenience is often not a problem at all, as long as you know about it in advance.

Provide proper lighting and decoration

Once the practical matters have been taken care of, it's time to get started decorating the garden. Everything depends on the decoration! To ensure that you do everything step by step, it is first important to start with the lighting. Nothing to worry about during the day, but of course as evening falls. How nice it is to have a beautiful one lichtslinger to run along the path from the entrance to the garden or to place some beautiful decorative letters with the first letters of you and the bride? In short, plenty of options!

Next to the lighting, decoration is the next step. Decorate the garden with flowers, banners and other festive decorations.

Rent the right materials

For the big guns: tents, technology, tables, chairs and complete bars, you should definitely contact us. Jongh's Rental. But you've also come to the right place for glassware, tableware and linen. It simply means that you can decorate and dress up your entire party with the rental items from this friend of all. Friend of all? Definitely! The choice is huge and we love it. No copy paste-work weddings, but a wide range to style it down to the last detail. Secretly also very nice; you can simply return all used tableware and table linen dirty. Saves a lot of tidying up and cleaning. That's a nice bonus, we think.

Gourmet Catering

A wedding is not complete without a snack and a drink. Welcome drinks are always appreciated and if you set up a nice cocktail bar you will definitely score points. The only thing you have to think carefully about is whether you want to arrange all of this yourself or whether you outsource everything. Especially during a wedding, it is important that everything is well arranged. Doing it yourself can and is fun, but it can also be quite stressful on the day itself, so we think having a catering do this is the most convenient option.

Also always a good idea: a late night snack. Yes, of course everyone has eaten, but after all the drinks and all that dancing, a little fuel later in the evening is nice. A croquette sandwich, or those small cones of fries.
