Hire a Food Truck for a Kid’s Outdoor Party

Food is an essential ingredient for any kid’s party and instead of hosts trying to prepare all the food themselves, a food truck is a great alternative – particularly for larger events. There’s something innately attractive about eating snacks from a food truck and it’s a solution that’s equally appropriate for kids of all ages.

Prices vary by region and there’s typically a minimum number of guests required. Other factors that will affect pricing is the location of the event, the date, and popularity of the food truck brand.

Ice cream

An ice cream truck is the perfect way to cool off on a hot and humid South Florida day. Everyone likes the frozen treat and it can include traditional ice cream, frozen yogurt, custard-based ice cream, and gelato to name a few.

Tacos

The popular food can be a simple blend of meat, cheese, lettuce and toppings to such diverse fillings as eggs, potatoes and all vegetable ingredients. They can be customized in multiple ways to accommodate any taste.

Pizza

Humans are drawn to foods that are sweet, savory and rich. Pizza fits those criteria perfectly and are customized to achieve any taste combination. Pizza combines any number of ingredients that taste better when combined and eaten together.

Burgers & Hotdogs

Burgers and hotdogs are two foods that never go out of style. They’re appreciated by kids of all ages and can be topped with a wide variety of condiments. A food truck that offers a side of French fries is even better.

Sandwiches

Kids of all ages appreciate finger foods and that encompasses a wide range of sandwiches. There are food trucks that specialize in sub sandwiches, sliders, grilled cheese and even breakfast sandwiches for any time of the day. Sandwiches are a staple in virtually every country and individuals can choose from cuisine with the taste of Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica and South America, along with American versions.

Throwing a Big Party in a Small Yard

outdoor event

One of the best things about summer is the ability to gather outdoors with friends and families. However, for those with small yards and a large number of family or friends, hosting a summer bash can present some significant logistical problems. Before scrapping the party plans or limiting the guest list, consider the following ways to maximize the space.

The Grill

Choose a smaller grill so it can be moved out of the way once everyone has eaten. There’s a wealth of small, compact grills on the market that operate with charcoal, gas and electric. Individuals can also choose from tabletop grills and there are even convertible models that transform from a traditional upright grill to a hibachi.

Multiple Tables

Separate the food from the beverages on separate tables, each in its own space. It prevents guests from crowding around a single place and evens out the foot traffic. Instead of trying to offer a full bar, consider a single beverage that can be served in a pitcher and made prior to the event.

Seating

Forget lawn chairs in small spaces. The modern way to provide seating is through stackable stools. They’re inexpensive, require less room, and can be pressed into service as a small table when needed. Establish seating areas on the perimeter of the party area. It’s a method that enhances the flow and ebb of foot traffic and leaves room for guests to mingle in the middle.

Fire Pits

Rather than try to control a bonfire, which may be illegal in urban settings anyway, consider a fire pit. They’re available in multiple styles and sizes to fit any deck or patio, including portable models. Some are even equipped with protective glass. It’s an important safety feature if alcohol is being served, someone imbibes too much, and becomes tipsy and unsteady.

End the Virtual School Year with an Outdoor Event

outdoor event

For many youngsters, their school year was a virtual one – at least in part – while others never made it into the classroom at all. Now is a great time to get the gang together to end the school year with an outdoor event. It will enable kids to visit with their friends and get some much-needed exercise. Outdoor events are also safer in terms of the pandemic.

Outdoor events can be held at home, in a park, or an outdoor venue can be booked. The location will have an impact on the type of refreshments served to the amusements and decorations that are planned. Conversely, there are many events that really don’t need decorations – just people sharing good times.

There are dozens of ideas for celebrating, whether it’s an event held during the day or in the evening. Commemorate the event with a T-shirt or other keepsake that can be imprinted with a novel message.

Water Party

This is a great idea for at-home events. Give everyone a squirt gun or large supply of water balloons and let the fun begin. For those that have the available space, consider renting a water slide.

Ice Cream Bar

Nothing says summer like ice cream and it’s an ideal way to kick off the end of the virtual school year. Play music appropriate to the event and offer attendees a rainbow of ice cream flavors, along with their favorite toppings.

Scavenger Hunt

Hide summer-related items around the yard appropriate for the kids’ age. Let them search for items such as sunglasses, small bottles of sunscreen, bubbles and sidewalk chalk, miniature inflatable beach balls, beach toys and paddle balls.

Be Inventive

Parents can throw a tailgate party or backyard BBQ, hold a movie night, a pool party, or camp out in the backyard. Inflatables are available ranging from games and mazes to bounce houses, along with bubble machines and foam/snow machines to create a winterscape. The important thing is to just have fun and celebrate the end of a virtual school year that’s kept everyone cooped up indoors.

Why Plan your Event Outdoors?

 

Many people automatically begin searching for an indoor venue when planning a special event, but there’s a lot to be said for holding a celebration outside. You can have all the amenities associated with an indoor event, including air-conditioned tents, to provide a respite from the heat and humidity. You can book a party planner or handle the details yourself.

COVID-19

Even though vaccines are now available, not everyone has been inoculated. Some guests are at greater risk if masks aren’t worn and social distancing is almost impossible with a large gathering. Outdoor events provide less potential for anyone to be unwittingly infected.

Weather

Outdoor events enable guests to take advantage of the sunlight for an effective boost in mood. Another advantage is that it provides natural lighting for the dozens of pictures that are always taken to commemorate a gathering.

Space

An outdoor location will provide more space for people to mingle and if children are in attendance, it gives them space to play. Outdoor events are especially beneficial if you have a large family, an extensive guest list, or aren’t sure how many people will attend.

Beautiful Scenery

No matter how elaborately decorated, an indoor venue means guests are looking at four walls. Florida is resplendent with picturesque views and scenery that make ideal backdrops for photos and videos.

Family-Friendly

If children will be in attendance, it can be extremely difficult to find a suitable location that’s able to accommodate them. There are no such limitations for events held outside. Parks are especially popular as the facilities typically provide bathrooms, equipment for youngsters to play on, and some include grills for cookouts.

Reduced Costs

Planning any event can be expensive and an outdoor location is a cost-effective way to have a great time without a huge associated cost. There are a variety of free locations where gatherings can be held and some party planners offer outdoor spaces at reduced costs.

Top 7 Must-Haves when Planning an Outdoor Party

 

Parties play an essential role in celebrating events ranging from employee appreciation days and retirements to weddings. However, planning the event can be extremely stressful as individuals attempt to ensure every detail is correct – from food to entertainment. There are some essentials for any gathering that are non-negotiable and must-haves for a successful party – especially in Florida.

  1. Food

The quickest way to ruin a party is for guests to leave the event hungry. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a backyard barbecue or a sophisticated soiree. Food is viewed universally as a demonstration of love and regard.

Professionals caterers will know exactly how much food to prepare for the number of guests to ensure everyone is well-fed. They can also accommodate special dietary needs. Caterers will provide table service, glassware and servers, along with beverages, a bartender, and even bouncers if required.

  1. Seating

There should be a chair for every guest, including any children in attendance. They should also be easy to move, as there will always be groups of people rearranging chairs to sit together to converse.

  1. Tables

Guests should never be scrunched up together, which means sufficient tables so they can spread out a little for elbow room. It’s especially important if children will be attending.

  1. Tents

Florida can get very hot and humid during summer months. A tent provides convenient shade from the heat. It’s particularly important for older individuals. Portable air conditioning units are available to provide cooling inside tents. A tent also offers a means of expanding available space and provides shelter in the event of unforeseen rain.

  1. Entertainment

The type of entertainment selected will depend largely on the guest list. Adults enjoy dancing so a band or DJ, along with a portable dance floor, is ideal. If the party is for children, there are any number of inflatable games and activities that can be rented. Don’t discount the value of inflatables for adult parties, either.

  1. Decorations

The addition of appropriate decorations, whether it’s special lighting, banners or table centerpieces, are an essential element that will set the mood and tone of the party. They also provide an attractive backdrop for people to take photos as mementos of the event.

  1. Party Planner

A party planner is an excellent resource. They can help individuals stay within any budget and they have connections with entertainers, venues, caterers and other professionals. Party planners will relieve the stress and ensure a party for any occasion is a complete success.

If you plan on throwing a Labor Day party, we are all about getting you all the best and fun ideas for your party. Here is a list of our top 5 favorite party ideas for the long Labor Day weekend.

  1. Host a clambake

Nothing screams long Labor Day Weekend than a ton of seafood in the shade of a summer day. All you will need is your backyard and a shallow pit to do your clambake in. Additionally, you should visit the farmers market to get your fresh ingredients before your clambake. Ensure that you get loads of potatoes, clams, lobster, and some fresh seaweed to cover your clambake in. Some fresh corn is also a must for a rocking clambake Labor Day Party!

  1. Throw a pool party

Nothing beats spending the summer in a cooling pool all day, whilst sipping refreshing cocktails and hanging out with friends. A pool party is the ultimate way to end the summer holiday with a bang. And why not add some pizzazz to your pool party by renting any one of our waterslides for a splash like no other!

  1. Have a cook-out

Grilling some fresh corn on the cob, steaks and marinated chicken thighs sounds like the perfect plan for your Labor Day party. Why don’t you get some friends together and get the lads hanging out at the grill while the ladies prep the drinks to go with your grilled feast? A cook-out is a great way to host a Labor Day party as it will allow lots of banter during the food prep and it will carry on into the night as you sit down to enjoy your food and drinks.

  1. Host an outdoor movie night

Going out to the movies sounds like a plan, but why don’t you consider renting a movie and calling over a few friends? Make it a more authentic experience by hiring our food machines such as the Hot Dog Roller and the Popcorn Machine for bottomless snacks during your movie marathon. Furthermore, you can also hire our Snow Cone machine which comes with 60 servings of the cooling treat for a hot summer night.

  1. Dance the night away

Dancing the Labor Day weekend through is such a fun way to consider spending your holiday before the end of summer break. Plan a night of dancing out on the patio and let it spill over into the backyard. Do you know what will make it even more fun? Include one of our giant backyard pool slides to add to the fun.
