Is it Better to Hire or Buy Party Supplies?

Trying to plan cheap parties can involve sacrificing your ultimate vision to accommodate your budget. But does it have to?

Knowing where to cut costs can allow you to host the party you want without changing your theming or minimising the buffet table. And the greatest price slice you can take advantage of is to hire your tableware rather than buy it. 

But aside from upfront costs, which factors should you consider when choosing to hire party supplies?

Consider How Often You’ll Use Your Party Supplies

If you’re just having the one party, buying masses of knives, forks, spoons, and other general tableware is not worth it. Either it’ll all be thrown away by the end of the night or you’ll have to find somewhere to put it all until the next party! Not to mention all the washing up if you do choose to hold onto them!

A great way to figure out the worthiness of any purchase is to evaluate the frequency with which you’ll use the item and divide the cost to see how long it’ll take to pay for itself. 

Hiring cheap party supplies guarantees less waste.

Remember Your Budget Plays a Role

Hiring Gives You Flexibility

Hiring your party supplies allows you to adapt your party equipment to the specific needs of each event. Maybe you need a carvery unit, but you know you’re unlikely to use it again. Why waste the money on single-use items when you could hire them for the day?

The same goes for cutlery. You might throw a huge party in December, but host a number of smaller, more intimate events throughout the year. In the meantime, you’ve got hundreds of forks collecting dust in the drawer, which might not be used for a while. 

By hiring your party supplies, you’ll have what you need when you need it, and you won’t have to find somewhere to store it all when it’s not in use!

Sustainability

Hiring party supplies is an eco-friendly way to host an event. Disposable, single-use cutlery, crockery, and cups contribute to the rapidly increasing annual level of plastic waste. So choosing the reusable supplies that party equipment hire companies use will help you to be ecologically conscious while obtaining everything you need for your event.
