How to Choose Event Planning Supplies: Battery Candles, Tablecloths, and Centerpieces
Are you planning an event? Whether you are putting together an elaborate business conference or a class reunion, you will need to think about how to choose the best event planning supplies. Battery candles, tablecloths, and centerpieces are all supplies you’ll need for your event. Here are a few tips to help you decide what to look for.
Tables and chairs: Be sure to ask first if the venue where you are holding your event provides tables and chairs, but if not, you will have to do so yourself. Unless you are starting an event service or planning to hold enough events to make it worth the investment, buying enough tables and chairs for your event is an unnecessary expense. Luckily, you can usually rent them for an affordable price. Usually rentals will be folding tables and metal folding chairs, so you will also want to get tablecloths to cover the tables.
Tablecloths, napkins, and other linens: Before renting or purchasing tablecloths, you will need to ask yourself a few questions. Is your event very fancy? If so, you will want the linens to be especially high quality. Casual events can get away with the cheaper white polyester tablecloths. Also, are you going to only be holding this one event, or are you likely to hold more than one? If the latter, you may want to buy instead of renting your linens. The investment is a good idea if you are going to reuse them. Also, be sure to compare prices for renting versus buying — you may find yourself pleasantly surprised at how affordable it is to buy linens for your event, especially if you buy them wholesale.
Centerpieces: No matter the type of event, casual or elegant, the right centerpiece will add ambiance to the room. Using a mixture of battery candles, flowers, and unique vases can provide that personal touch the table needs for your event. Battery candles are safe and cheap when purchased in bulk. Flowers and unique vases are easily accessible online or from local vendors as well.
Cups, dishes, and silverware: Are you serving food at the event? If so, you will need to consider whether you want to buy disposable plates, cups, and silverware, or whether you would prefer to rent nicer items. A few factors may influence your decision. For instance, disposables are usually better for a very large event, while you will want to rent for a fancier event. Also, be sure to ask what is included with the event or catering — some of your event planning supplies may already be provided.
Nametags: Do you need nametags? For a business conference or another large event where people will likely not know one another, they would be a great idea. Most likely if it is a large event, though, you will have custom-designed nametags with the conference name or a company logo, and the attendee’s names pre-printed on them. A safety pin backing is a nice touch, especially because adhesive nametags are notorious for losing their stickiness or getting pulled off by coats and purse straps. For a business event or a large conference, a professional appearance is important, so this should be one of your criteria in choosing nametags.
Smaller events can also benefit from nametags. Even in the case of class reunions, if it has been 25 or 50 years, people may not recognize one another anymore, making nametags a welcome addition. The adhesive variety, with a place to handwrite the person’s name, should do just fine for most smaller events.
There are a lot of things to consider when putting together an event: tables, centerpieces with battery candles, silverware, nametags and more. With this list of event planning supplies, however, you should be well on your way to start planning the perfect event!
