Whether your setting is in a rural forest or on the grounds of a stunning vineyard, you need the right equipment to make the event a success. Start with each of the party supplies below for a wedding you and your guests alike will not forget.

5 Must-Have Party Supplies for Outdoor Weddings

1. Tent

Tents are essential for outdoor weddings, no matter the time of year. They add a wonderful ambiance to your event and will keep people comfortable. In the summer, it will keep guests out of the sun. In cooler seasons, it will keep loved ones warm in their dress clothes while protecting them from the threat of rain.

2. Climate Control

You can’t control the weather, but you can keep guests comfortable. If you’re hosting a summer wedding, rent some fans. Portable heaters are recommended for weddings in cooler weather below 65 degrees. Placing these inside your tent will help to contain that conditioned air.

3. Lounge Furniture

Nothing says “elegance” like a luxurious lounge area in the great outdoors. Create seating areas that will encourage conversation among your guests. After they are finished with their dinner, there needs to be other areas they can sit and relax other than at their tables.

4. Lighting

Lighting adds a magical atmosphere while keeping everything safely illuminated in the dark. Hang chandeliers inside your tent for an elegant feel. If you want something more rustic or bohemian, string patio lights overhead.

5. Dance Floor

No wedding reception is complete without a dance floor. Whether you have a live band or a DJ, you’ll need a safe and solid floor where people can have fun. Generally, you can assume that 40 to 50 percent of your guests may be dancing at any given time. Get a floor that allows 9 square feet per couple.
