Enjoying Your Own Party

A few years ago, I went to the best party that I have ever been to. It was my friend's wedding reception, and I can't even begin to tell you how much thought and planning she put into the event. She had activities for everyone, and the atmosphere was amazing. Ever since that day, I have been trying to make the parties that I plan just as fun and interesting. Although my parties might not be up to snuff quite yet, I have learned a few tricks that might help you, too. Check out this website for more information on creating memorable events.

4 Tips For Supplying Power To Your Outdoor Party

Whether you're going camping for a weekend with friends or starting your first minor festival, one of the biggest issues when it comes to having a successful outdoor party is choosing the right power supply. Choosing the right generator for your needs can mean the difference between a memorable event and an unforgettable disaster. Below are some of the things you should keep in mind when renting a generator for an outdoor event. 

Coordinate Power Needs In Advance 

While estimating power needs may be sufficient for a backup generator at home, at an outdoor event, you may want to get very specific about what you will need to have powered. Having someone show up at the last minute with a light installation or sound system that needs extra power can quickly put a damper on your event. Even worse is having your system fail because your generator cannot power everything you have hooked up to it. 

Make sure you create a list of which items each generator will power, then stick to it. 

Opt for a Larger Generator 

While it's important to calculate your power needs, you should always go a size up than what you calculate. This will make sure you have plenty of power when your items are running at peak consumption. This is especially important if you plan on playing bass-heavy music as lower tones can quickly drain your power supply. 

Invest In High-Quality Equipment to Lower Your Power Consumption 

If you're just getting started hosting outdoor events, you should invest in high-quality equipment. For example, quality speakers can be much louder with lower power needs than their cheaper counterparts. The same goes for lighting. This will allow you to run a generator at lower power settings, making your fuel last longer. 

Be Aware of Generator Sound Levels

Many generators can be loud enough to disturb your conversation or music. To counteract this, you have a few options. You can rent a quiet generator, which usually costs a bit more. Or you can position the generator further away from your main gathering space. This has the drawback of requiring more cables to get power to your system. 

If you are confused about what type of generator you need to power an outdoor event, you should consult with a professional. They will be able to help you assess your needs and choose a generator that will meet your needs without overpowering your party.
