Helpful Tips for Your Rental Day! 🌟
(Read below)
Picking up and setting up your rentals yourself? No problem — we’ve got your back! Here are some quick tips to make your DIY setup smooth, stress-free, and photo-ready:
📏 1. Measure Twice, Pick Up Once
Before pick-up, double-check that your items will fit in your vehicle and through your venue doors. Need dimensions? Just ask — we’re happy to send them over!
💪 2. Bring Backup (AKA: Extra Muscle)
While we’re usually available to help you load, there are times we may not be on-site — so if we’ve coordinated a self-serve pickup, be sure to bring someone to help lift and load.
📸 3. Snap a Pic Before You Load
Take a quick photo of how everything is packed at pickup. It’ll be a huge help when it’s time to return.
(Bonus tip: If you’re picking up a wooden backdrop in an open truck or trailer, bring straps to keep it secure!)
🪜 4. Once you are ready to decorate, don’t forget a step stool or ladder. All of our backdrops are over 6 feet tall — unless you’re part giant, a little boost goes a long way for safe and easy decorating. 😉
📐 5. Bring Decorating Supplies
Decorate your way with tape or staples — just no paint or stain, please! We love keeping our pieces clean and ready for the next celebration.
🌦️ 6. Outdoor Setup? Watch the Weather
Minnesota weather can be unpredictable. Our decor isn’t waterproof, so if rain pops into the forecast, please move items under cover. For wind, make sure your setup is supported or secured.
✨ Need help? Text us anytime (seriously — anytime).
We’ll exchange numbers ahead of pickup so we can stay in touch in case anything comes up. We love a good DIY moment, but you’re never truly on your own!
