How to Find Party Rental Companies Online

How to Find Party Rental Companies Online

Renting photo booths, games, costumes, tables, chairs or serving equipment for your party can make your party a huge success.

Because most rental companies have an online website, renting is much easier for you.  You can view the products, see the prices and decide what you want before you contact the rental company.

    • Go to the MerchantCircle homepage and search for rental companies in your area.  This site provides you with a link to the company site, information about the party rentals and customer reviews so you know you are working with a reputable rental company.
    • Use your favorite online search engine to find party rental companies located in Kansas City online.  The search results are links to party rental companies.  Click on a link and get some information about the company.  Make sure that you research the company fully before signing a rental agreement.
    • Look for party rental companies listed on sites like Angie’s List or Craigslist.  These sites can help you find rentals at reasonable prices and may offer some suggestions for the best rental companies.  You can even post a question on these sites asking other viewers for input about online party rental companies.
    • Ask your friends and contacts on Facebook or other social network to recommend a website for renting party equipment.  Someone in your social group may have rented from a company in the past and they may recommend or tell you to avoid a certain company, saving you research time.
    • Browse some of the many party rental websites.  These websites help you determine what type of products you want to rent, how much the rental will cost and direct you to a specific business to get the rentals you want.  These websites include Be-Seated.com,  AirJumpMoonWalks.com,

5 Differences Between Closed Photo Booths & Open Photo Booths

Jan 17, 2017

Photo booths hold an iconic role in the American cultural landscape. Synonymous with fun experiences, spontaneous friendships, and unforgettable memories, that classic photo strip resides in many homes from sea to shining sea, pinned between a drug store magnet and the door of their refrigerator. One might say they are irreplaceable, or possibly even impossible to improve upon. Well, vintage technology aficionados, fear not, for there will always be a place for nostalgia. But objectively, what are some ways that newer, open photo booths compare with their encased, curtain-concealed predecessors? Let’s take a closer look…

1. Lighting

This might be a no-brainer. Most open photo booths include a professional lighting set up, and they are themselves placed in well-lit areas. Natural lighting anyone? Noise reduction, no awkward shadows, and no eye-glare, make these photo booth photos ready for Instagram.

By comparison, enclosed photo booths contain, at best, a built-in automatic flash that may or may not put your carefully maintained complexion in the best light. Pun intended!

2. Pressure

Maybe the 10 second countdown to 4 automated shots aids in the spontaneity of enclosed photo booths, but it also creates an unnecessary degree of pressure to get your shots just right, and even then, you don’t find out how they turned out until they print. And, if it’s a busy venue, that means getting right back in line, partner! An open photo booth, such as the standard setup for us here at The SnapBar, allows users to see a camera view on a screen directly in front of them, allowing them to frame their shots just right. No more doubting yourself. You take that selfie, and you take it right.

3. Capacity

Maybe all of your guests are couples, and maybe they are all skinny. If that’s the case, the enclosed photo booth will suffice to a point. But two, maybe three people shoehorned into a literal booth has its drawbacks. And why limit yourself? Get the whole gang into one picture, and REALLY capture the moment. For some, this might be the greatest single reason to choose an open photo booth over an enclosed one.

4. Backdrops

There’s not much comparison to be made here, as enclosed photo booths don’t have anything to offer as far as backgrounds go. But with an open photo booth, the choices are limitless! Most open photo booth companies will offer a wide variety of backdrops that you can choose from, or you can even set up your own. Don’t want to make your own, but can’t find what you want? Some photo experience companies, such as The SnapBar, will custom print your backdrop for you.

5. Props

This is a fun aspect of open photo booths and the companies that run them. Props! There are dozens of them. You can carry whatever you like into the frame. A fake mustache, a giant pair of glasses, a guitar, a piñata, a grandparent… it’s up to you! Now, no one said you can’t take props into an enclosed photo booth, but good luck squeezing that giant inflatable shark in there.

Stand out at your corporate function in a instant ..

Having a photo booth for a corporate event is a relatively new idea that is quickly gaining traction.  What was once a fun idea for birthday parties and weddings is making more of a presence at conventions, festivals, holiday parties and professional conferences.

Photo Booths Are Instant

When a photographer takes photos at corporate events, you usually have to wait for the images to be mailed, taking days or even weeks. However, many corporate guests who get their photos taken want to see it right away.

InstaFunKC PhotoBooth partners with other local Kansas City Heros ..

As a special treat some of KC’s greatest local businesses got together to celebrate First Friday in September. Located in the heart of Kansas City, The Crossroads District .. these superheros’s helped kick off Superhero month with The Kansas City Clothing Co.’s month long event to raise money and awareness for the Supporting Kids Foundation.

Attention Kansas City Superheroes: Help Local Cancer Families

KC_Clothing_Co
The Kansas City Clothing Co. in partnership with KC’s Supporting Kids Foundation has created, SUPERHEROES OF KC, a limited edition t-shirt line aimed to reveal the heroes among us.

Once in a blue moon a cell in a child’s adrenal will make a bad copy of itself and multiply. They call it Neuroblastoma. That’s what happened to Jonah, to us. We found the cancer on his third birthday. It was painfully ironic that the day he was born three years later would also be the day we found out he could die. We even ordered the same take-out pizza, because we didn’t know what else to do. I couldn’t eat it.

Once there’s a blue moon, you meet once-in-a-blue-moon people. The day after our diagnoses, they began trickling into our lives through the door of our hospital room. The doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and child life workers at Children’s Mercy were perfectly pre-packaged. They knew what to do when I had to be convinced to eat. “Treatment is a marathon, not a race,” they said,“you have to take care of yourself.”

“Through the next few days, I am honored to tell you about the people who work on the cancer floor at Children’s Mercy through our family story. It has a lot of drama.”
– Annie Noll, Jonah’s mom

 

BUY A SHIRT, REVEAL YOUR TRUE IDENTITY

The Kansas City Clothing Co. in partnership with KC’s Supporting Kids Foundation has created, SUPERHEROES OF KC, a limited edition t-shirt line aimed to reveal the heroes among us. Throughout September, Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, a portion of the proceeds of every t-shirt go to local families afflicted with the disease. Reveal your identity and get your KC Superheroes shirt.
