1. Consider your choices properly
If your requirement involves a room in a field, a marquee is what will suit you the most. Marquees are classic, solid, versatile, and opulent and can be stripped back. They work fine irrespective of whether you are looking for string lights or chandeliers. A marquee offers a large degree of flexibility as it doesn’t have too many poles in the centre.

2. Number of guests
This is a given; still, people fail to consider the number of guests that are going to be in their party. Consequently, the size of the tent they choose may prove to be inadequate in accommodating everyone comfortably, or it may be too large and it may seem that a handful of people are sitting in a large hall, which will also look awkward.

3. Climate
This is another factor, which is surprisingly overlooked by people when it comes to choosing a marquee for outdoor parties. You need to consider both the average climatic and the temporary weather condition in your area and choose the right type of fabric accordingly. Decide whether you need a cold weather marquee or one for warm conditions. Such details will help you make better arrangements.

4. Extra space
The thought of extra space should be on your mind based on the type of event you’re hosting. For example, if a party requires a lot of tables and chairs, you may need a bit of extra space. This factor needs to be considered while zeroing in on the size of a marquee.

5. Quality of the fabric
Ensure that the fabric of the tent is of high quality and durable so that it doesn’t sustain scratches too easily.

6. Make an informed choice
This is again something that people don’t seem to care much about at all and can end up having a disappointing experience because of it. Marquees come in different varieties, offering a lot of flexibility based on your theme. You can choose a traditional marquee, stretch tent, modular pods or any other variant as per your requirement. Ask yourself whether you’re looking for a traditional option or a modern one.

Conclusion
Marquees are like a blank canvas, but when you choose them for a party, it is important to think of the vibe and the overall atmosphere you want to create, and the requirements you have. Whether you’re organising a band party, private party or want to erect a unique wedding venue, marquees make for the most versatile, flexible and beautiful choice for every occasion.

1. In ancient Rome, wedding guests traditionally broke a loaf of bread over the bride’s head as it was supposed to bring her good fortune when it came to fertility. This evolved into the wedding cake getting smashed in her face.
2. It was once believed that your ring finger (the fourth finger of the left hand) contained a vein that led directly to the heart.
3. The phrase tying the knot came to be because several cultures around the world – Hindu, Celtic and Egyptian – to name a few – actually tied the hands of the bride and groom together to signify their commitment to each other.
4. Wedding veils were worn in ancient Greece and Rome because it was supposed to protect the bride from evil spirits.
5. Apparently the bride was especially susceptible to evil spirits. She was traditionally carried across the threshold so that her groom could protect her from those pesky demons which the groom is inexplicably immune to.
6. Even the bridesmaids were recruited to protect the bride from these pesky devils by wearing matching gowns in order to confuse the demons and bring good fortune to the marriage. To be fair, the groomsmen dressed in similar attire – but this was not to confuse the spirits but to thwart jealous suitors that may attempt to high-jack the bride.
7. The bridal bouquet was originally made up of bunches of garlic, grains, and herbs to drive off Beezlebub and his minions.
8. Shoes tied to the car bumper evolved from the bride’s father giving the groom the bride’s shoes before the ceremony to prevent her from running away and to symbolize that the father was now handing over the possession of his daughter to his son-in-law.
9. The best man’s job was not to guard the ring but to guard the future bride (who was often captured due to a lack of available women in the groom’s clan or tribe) – just in case her family tried to come steal her back during the ceremony.
10. One of the oldest surviving customs still practiced during wedding ceremonies – is the tossing of the garter. This custom came about because witnesses were required to make sure that the marriage was consummated. They would come back and use the garter as proof that the deed was done.

While many of these wedding traditions have evolved to fit the times, the one factor that remains constant is that weddings certainly can stretch the budget. Schupepe Tents offers marquees and stretch tents to allow you to have your wedding anywhere, at any time you choose. This significantly reduces the cost of an expensive venue so that you can buy the cake, the veil, the rings, and extra shoes to tie to the bumper of your car!

Cinco de Mayo! Ole!

On the fifth of May, 1862, Mexicans won the Battle of Puebla. The Mexicans were victorious against the army of Napoleon III despite being poorly armed and outfitted. There are various ways to create a unique and entertaining theme for your guests. If it is a private event, you could use the stretch tent in your backyard. Maybe you own a restaurant and would like to extend the celebration in your parking lot. The possibilities are endless. Here are some ideas:

• Guests must wear sombreros
• Decorate with piñatas and use the colours of the Mexican flag
• Use multi-coloured string lights to create a fiesta vibe
• Serve Mexican food, margaritas and Coronas
• Hire a mariachi band
• Make sure everyone learns how to do the Macarena

The Queen’s Birthday

The first thing that comes to mind is a high tea party theme. This would be perfect for a bridal shower, Mother’s Day, a charity event, or simply as an excuse to be surrounded by friends and show off your garden. The Queen’s Birthday is always celebrated on the first Monday in June, allowing us a much-needed three day weekend. For private events, your backyard or garden is the perfect place to utilize our elegant stretch tents. If this is a fund-raiser or corporate event, there are various public parks or botanical areas to choose from.

• Send out elegant, hand-written invitations

• Use empty tea containers filled with flowers as decorations
• Fill glass bowls with colourful fruits for centrepieces
• Guests could bring potted plants or floral arrangements to exchange with one another
