Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and one of the biggest weekends of the year for party rental businesses. With families gathering, neighborhoods celebrating, and community events in full swing, it’s a golden opportunity to help your clients host unforgettable outdoor parties. At Tent and Table, we’re here to help you get prepared with the right equipment, ideas, and inventory to make the most of the season.
Here’s your guide to getting fully stocked and event-ready ahead of the holiday weekend.
Stock Up on Essentials
Now is the time to check your inventory and ensure your top rental items are in great shape. Pole tents, frame tents, and pop-up canopies are in high demand for Memorial Day cookouts, reunions, and community events. Folding tables and chairs are always must-haves, so don’t wait until the last minute to replenish your supply.
Be sure to inspect and organize your tent stakes, straps, sidewalls, and repair kits. Having the right accessories and quick-fix supplies on hand can save valuable time during busy weekends.
It’s also a great time to refresh your inventory with crowd-pleasing patriotic inflatables! Perfect for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and summer festivals, our patriotic bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses, and dunk tanks are a great way to attract more bookings for community events, backyard parties, and fundraisers.
Add High-Energy Fun
Outdoor celebrations are more than just food and shade. Your customers are looking for entertainment that keeps kids engaged and guests smiling. Offer inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses, and water slides to turn any backyard party or local event into a full experience. These units book quickly around holidays, so showcasing them now gives you a head start.
You can also expand your offerings with inflatable games. These are great for school events, neighborhood gatherings, and community festivals.
Create Packages for Convenience
Build out Memorial Day bundles that combine popular items like tents, tables, chairs, and concessions into ready-to-go rental packages. Make it simple for customers to plan their event with themed add-ons like cotton candy, popcorn, or snow cone machines. These treats add a nostalgic and fun touch that families love.
Be sure to highlight these packages on your website, in email newsletters, and across social media to boost visibility and bookings.
Don’t Skip the Details
Lighting and flooring help complete any outdoor event. Tent lights allow celebrations to continue after sunset, while portable dance floors create space for entertainment and movement. Encourage clients to think beyond the basics and include these finishing touches.

Memorial Day weekend fills up fast. Encourage early reservations by reaching out to past customers and sharing reminders through email and social media. Let clients know that popular items and dates book quickly, and now is the best time to lock in their rentals.
