Hosting a gathering can be fun, but if you're looking to keep everyone outside of the house as much as possible and you are worried about weather and accommodations, there are a few things you can get to prep. You can have all the fun and be comfortable but keep it outdoors. With the proper lighting, heating and seating, it should be easy to host this type of event.
Rent Kerosene Heaters
If you fear the temperature dropping and having guests that are cold, you can rent kerosene heaters for the night. These will have a great heat output and allow people to lounge around outside in warmth, even if the temperatures get chilly. The rental company can look at the size of the entertainment area and let you know how many heaters they think will be needed. The amount of people coming can dictate this as well.
Inquire About Portable Toilets
A portable toilet is a low-maintenance and affordable way to keep people out of the house, and it's also a good way to avoid overwhelming your plumbing system. Get a small unit that is freshly cleaned and sterilized dropped off at your party, and make sure that the area where it goes is well lit and easy to find. This makes it easy for people to go and prevents foot traffic through your house.
Small Trash Bins or Dumpster
The amount of trash you could produce from this party may be more than you can fit into your weekly waste container. Talk with a dumpster rental company or a waste management company to see if they have smaller bins you can rent to handle the extra trash from your party. You also may be able to arrange a onetime pick up for the party as well with one of these types of companies.
Seating Needs
Tables and chairs are easy to rent from local event companies, but you may also be able to rent some comfortable outdoor loungers and sectionals. If you want plush outdoor patio seating and more comfortable options, find a company that provides this and get a cost.
Don't let weather or your fear of having a house flooded with people prevent you from hosting the party that you want. Instead, look into these different rental options or even work with a party planner to get everything arranged and ready to go in advance. This way everything is in place when it's time to host, and you don't have to worry about a thing.
We rely on the environment to give us energy. The environment provides us with wind, which we can harness to generate electricity. It also provides us with coal and oil, which we can burn to generate heat. How we harness and utilize energy also impacts the environment. For instance, when we take coal from the environment and burn it, we release various greenhouse gasses and other polluting gases, resulting in dirty air and the perpetuation of climate change. As such, we need to use what the environment gives us wisely to avoid damaging this great planet.
