Dance the night away

It’s not unique but that’s because popularity trumps it! At least 90% of your guests are going to be keen to bust a move. Dancing has been around since the beginning of time because guests just wanna have fun. A special occasion isn’t the time to get cousin Matt and his speaker dock – it’s time for a professionals. You’ll need some party hire ideas and referrals for a skilled DJ. A band has the skill set to adjust the music to suit the crowd and knows what it takes to get guests on their feet. Do your research. Read live reviews and ask for referrals from friends and family who have personally experienced the suppliers.

Make it sparkle

What’s a celebration without a little pyrotechnics? Fireworks are guaranteed to bring the ooh-ahh factor! Perhaps incorporate your fireworks as a after-dinner surprise for guests. Alternatively they make an amazing exit backdrop for the bride and groom. For the budget conscious backyard celebration, sparklers can be equally as beautiful and even more intimate. Not to mention sparkles of any size make for fantastic photos!

Let’s get quizzicle

On elf our favourite party hire ideas that breaks the ice. Fun + cost effective = everybody wins! Get creative and print out some ‘pub style’ quizzes for your guests to complete throughout the night.

Best party hire ideas = snack trucks!

Is there anything more exciting than an unexpected snack? In the wee hours (or anytime!), give your guests an extra surge of energy for the dance floor with a surprise fun snack. Try ice cream trucks (like the awesome Ruby pictured above), pancakes and waffles, mini cheeseburgers, a milk and cookies bar or even marshmallows and hot chocolates around a campfire. You will find some delicious morsels to fit any budget.

Feelin’ flashy

Google ‘wedding party flash mob’ and prepare to be entertained! A surprise flash mob will shock your guests in the best possible way (and has the added bonus of potentially turning your bridal party into a You Tube sensation!). The choreography doesn’t have to be fancy and remember there’s safety in numbers. Make an awesome song choice and you’ll figure out the rest!
