Are Modern Venue-Based Parties Better Than the Traditional Home Parties

There was a time when people would hold big parties only for very important events, weddings for example. And even if they held other types of parties, they were usually low key events. Friends and family would gather at home, there would be grand cooking for two straight days and everyone would chatter around the dining table. Now times have changed and everything is on a larger scale. With so many companies offering party hire in Berwick, people do not bat an eyelid throwing big parties. These companies offer everything from catering to table and chair hire in Melbourne. They have made throwing a party a breeze where you do not need to worry about anything besides the guest list. But that raises a question. Has the new bigger and better parties lost the personal touch?

Ask the old timers and they will say that of course parties in their day were better. The smell of home cooked food wafting through the air, the rush of people around the house, the chatter of kids. It all combined to make a very pleasant atmosphere. There was a general gaiety in the air and everyone interacted with one another on a personal level. The thing is the moment you let people inside your home they immediately feel a lot more at ease and can open up better. A formal affair always makes one feel conscious of what to say and do.

On the flipside there was the hard work. The ladies of the house (usually) spent hours in the kitchen cooking up a storm in the kitchen. As a result they were not able to join in the merriment as much as others. Moreover, you could not call in too many people home due to restricted space. Thanks to the party hire in Berwick, space is not a constraint thanks to the venues they provide, there is no exhaustion from cooking and you can host bigger parties more often. However, one cannot help but wonder, are the new type of parties just a tad colder than home-grown ones?

Why You Need Catering Equipment and Linen Hire in Even Small Parties in Melbourne

For any party that includes food, two things are of absolute importance: catering equipment hire and linen hire in Melbourne. You may be hosting a small party, maybe as small as 20 guests strong. You will not need to call in party hire from Berwick but you will need the catering equipments. A lot of people make the mistake of not hiring these equipments for what they consider a small party. They feel that they will simply order in or cook the food and hand it out.  However, if you have ever hosted a party before you will know that in a party, it is difficult to stick to a schedule, many changes will take place. For example, you may not be in control of when the food should be served.

As is human nature, when we are playing hosts, we would rather have an excess rather than a shortage. Similarly while cooking or ordering the food, we prefer to get it done sooner than later. When the guests start to arrive and you get engaged in conversation and fun while the food sits on the countertop getting cold. Even if you are eager to serve the food the guests may not be. When you finally serve the food it will be dead cold as a result none of the guests will enjoy it and neither will you. You will curse yourself about not calling the catering equipment hire in Melbourne to keep the food warm.

Similarly the linen too becomes a bother if you have to use your own. Guests, no matter how close they are have a bad habit; they misuse the house of their host a lot. If you think about it you do it too when you are a guest somewhere. They will wipe their soiled hands on the linen, spill food and by the end of the party, the clean white linen will resemble a war zone. Then just the thought of washing it could give you a headache. If you take the linen on hire, you effectively transfer the headache to someone else!

What You Need When Hosting an Outdoor Party

If you are organizing an event outdoors, you need to try and make the place habitable for your guests. While the open space does allow plenty of fresh air and a free, airy atmosphere, it also comes with many challenges. There are many factors that need to be judged before you are ready to host the event. First point of concern can be the weather.  It kind of follows the Goldilocks rule; if it is too hot or too cold, you cannot host a party outdoors thus the temperature needs to be just right, preferably with a light breeze. Even in the rainy season, it is an ultimate loss hiring the outdoor space as it may rain anytime forcing the guests to flee for cover. So if you are lucky enough to be at that ‘perfect’ weather when you can have an outdoor party, you can call in the party rentals of Melbourne and get the arrangements started.

 Now that the weather is taken care of, the next thing to consider is the preparation of the space. Depending on the scale of the event you can set up the decoration accordingly although a tent is highly desirable. An open space tends to look very bare without tents. If not tents you need to create some kind of cover, even if it is beach umbrellas. It not only gives dimension to the venue it also allows some kind of overhead cover for the guest. Next, you need to consider the type of table and chair hire in Melbourne you will need. If the ground of the open space in concrete then it is not that big a deal but if it grass, you have a problem.

The traditional wooden chairs will neither look good nor sit well on top of the grassy soil. Instead of a wobbly seat, it is better to hire metal or plastic foldable chairs to be used out in the gardens. They tend to offer much firmer seat on the soft soil and goes well with the open-air set up.
