First time renting for a kids party? Here is what you actually need. Start with your guest count. Write down every child coming and then add the adults who are staying. That total is your seating number. From there, figure out your space. Measure your backyard before you order anything because a tent that is too big will not fit and one that is too small leaves half your guests in the sun. Once you know your count and your space, the order basically writes itself. One chair per person, one table for every six to eight guests, and a canopy to cover the eating area. If kids are coming, a jumper is worth every penny. We are located right near the Target on Laurel Canyon. Call or text Oscar or come by the store on Vanowen Street and he will size everything out for you before you spend a dollar.
