Spring is in full swing, and there's no better way to celebrate the beauty of the season than by throwing a party for your closest friends and family. Of course, hosting an outdoor event of any kind is great for bringing everyone together and creating fond memories. But if you're looking for a few creative ways to use a backyard party tent this spring, we've come up with a few ideas for an unforgettable social gathering. And don't forget: you'll need the perfect tent rentals for your upcoming shindig! Here are just a few themed events you'll definitely want to throw this year:

• An elegant garden tea party
  Throw on your fanciest hat and prepare to drink with your pinkies up! There's no better way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon than in your backyard garden, enjoying a spot of tea and delicious finger sandwiches. Our perfect tent rentals will ensure your antique china and lace table linens will stay dry and safe, even in unpredictable spring weather. Be sure to decorate your tables with crisp place cards, mismatched teacups, and lots of fresh flowers. And  don't forget the scones and clotted cream! This can be ideal for your monthly ladies-who-lunch event, a birthday, or even a bridal or baby shower.

• A neighborhood potluck picnic
  For a new twist on a traditional neighborhood gathering, why not throw a backyard potluck picnic? Rather than have each family bring their own individual baskets, you can have everyone bring a favorite dish to pass. As host, you can provide some of the essentials, like soda, chips, or other snacks. Your guests can bring an appetizer, main entree, or dessert for everyone to enjoy. They can even share their family recipe on card stock so that these dishes will be loved for years to come. Be sure to decorate your tables with red gingham tablecloths and high-quality plastic or paper plates to make for easy clean-up. Keep in mind you'll need at least 15 square feet per person. That way, you'll have plenty of room but can still mix and mingle with ease.
