PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES
TENT SIZE
When hosting a graduation party it is important to remember that not all of your invited guests will be present at the same time. A good rule to follow, when planning the size of your tent, is to order a tent that will accommodate ½ to ¾ of your invited guests.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
The tent, tables, and chairs are the necessities you need when planning an event of this nature. Remember to also consider recycling or trash containers, food serving areas and equipment, and if you are planning to have a party that lasts into the night, you will need some lighting for the tent.
EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY
The peak graduation party month by far is June. To secure your desired equipment, please remember to book events as soon as possible for this month. Typically, by April all of the equipment has been booked for this peak graduation party time frame. However, more and more people have been avoiding the graduation party “rush” by hosting parties in May and into July. Please contact us to reserve your equipment today.
TENT & EQUIPMENT SET UP PROCESS
Make sure you have someone lined up to be at the house the day of delivery or make sure it is communicated exactly where you would like the tent set up.
Tent staking: All tents are required to be anchored into the ground. It is the homeowner's responsibility to mark all underground utilities, sprinkler lines, septic fields, etc.
Miss Dig must be called prior to the event. We will not install a tent on your property unless the area has been clearly marked for utilities. Schedule Miss Dig by calling (800) 482-7171.
Please remember to be prepared to have your equipment delivered and set up. Any delay in our ability to deliver and set up will result in additional costs.

What graduation packages do you offer?
We have several sized graduation packages to help you save time and money: Social at $400, with a 20x20 tent for about 32 to 40 people; Shindig at $500, with a 20x30 tent for about 48 to 60 people; Gala at $600, with a 20x40 tent for about 64 to 80 people; and Bash at $1,200, with a 30x60 tent for about 100 to 140 people. You can also choose tents and tables and chairs a la carte.
What size tent do we need for a graduation open house?
Not every invited guest will be there at the same time. A good rule is to size the tent for half to three-quarters of your invited guests. If you need a different size than the packages, browse our tent rentals from 15x15 to 40x120, or call (989) 574-0624 and we will help you plan.
Do you set up the tent at our house?
Yes. Tent setup and takedown is included in the price, with a delivery charge based on your location. Have someone at the house on delivery day, or mark exactly where the tent should go. Tents must be staked, so Miss Dig has to mark underground utilities first. Tables and chairs are left stacked under the tent unless you arrange setup ahead of time.
Can we add chairs, sidewalls or other equipment to a graduation package?
Yes. You can add white padded garden chairs, white folding chairs, solid or window sidewalls, and cocktail tables. Linens are available in a range of colors, sizes and styles through our linen partners, and our event equipment includes lighting. See tent accessories for sidewalls and pole drapes.
