With the most awaited party season of the year at the threshold, it is no wonder that you are looking for party tents. There is something uniquely exciting about partying in a magnificent party tent or a canopy that is erected in an outdoor location. Be it a corporate party, a family get together or a pulsating bash with friends, you can throw the best party in town under a tent.

The good thing is that these tents are available in a whole lot of sizes and shapes. So, depending on your guest list and the events you plan in your party, you can get a tent and throw a fantastic bash that remains etched in the minds of your guests for a long long time. However, to ensure this, you need to put in some homework.

Choose the right size
Choosing the right tent is the most important aspect. Your party cannot be successful if your guests feel congested and keep bumping into each other. There are a number of aspects involved here.

Firstly, size of a tent depends on the kind of party your host because the space required per head varies from one kind of party to another. For example, if you host a wedding party complete with small tables, the standard space required is 15 square feet per guest. So, if you plan to invite a hundred guests, the minimum size of party tent should be at least 1500 square feet. For cocktail parties, you do not require much space because you don't have to organize elaborate furniture. You can have a small food section, a bar area and comfortable chairs scattered around the space. Typically, the space requirement comes to about 8 square feet per person. For hundred guests who you invite for a cocktail party, a party tent of 800 square feet is adequate.

If you want a dance floor in your party, you need lots of space. Depending on the number of guests, you need to choose tents between 900 square feet and 4000 square feet. Row type seating requires the least amount of space.

Tents are available in standard sizes such as 20' x 20', 20' x 30', 30' x 40', 40' x 100' and lots of sizes in between. So, take various factors into consideration and choose the right size so that your guests are comfortable, there is enough circulation space and you can arrange all the decorations and facilities that you want to include in your party.

Other important considerations

Besides size, the choice of a tent also depends on the kind of surface on which the it needs to be erected, requirement for heating or cooling equipment, lighting requirements, need for enclosed portions for privacy and accessories such as DJ station, food counter, drinks counter, decorations or barbecue section that you want to include under it.
When you have a tent that is comfortable, the fun quotient of your party amplifies multifold. You can bask in the compliments that your guests pay you and relish the satisfaction of having organized an excellent celebration.
