Photo of the Quarter

Every time we publish a newsletter, we feature a photo that a client submitted to us.  This photo is from a brunch that Jerilyn Hammerstrom did in her backyard using specialty linen from Party Production Rentals and her own china. The effect is a fun, eclectic look that made for a great setting.  The base linen underneath is gold satin, and the overlay is a cream pin tuck linen. 

If you have a photo from an event that you set-up using rentals from Party Production Rentals that you'd like to share, you can win a $50 gift certificate from Party Production Rentals.  Email it to info@partyproductionrentals.com with your contact info, date of event, and what type of event it was.

Attractive and Easy Centerpieces

Centerpieces are a nice addition to a table at any party, or for that matter, at any meal.  Paula has an easy way of creating fun centerpieces that always give our tables the right feel.  Not only that, they are very cost effective if your event is on a tight budget.  You buy garden flowers from your local home center and plant them in fun pots.  Here are a few examples:

What you need to do:  Start with the pots.  If you have some fun pots at your house already, that's a good place to start.  If all you have are old terracotta pots, you can dress them up nicely with a little spray paint and a bow.  If you don't have any pots, you can get them at Home Depot or other home stores for a few dollars.  Look for close-outs or you can dress up the simple terracotta pots.  (Other ideas for dressing up the pots - let your kids paint them or glue things to them, it'll give it a fun, whimsical look.)  Not all the pots need to match.  In fact, having different pots often looks better.  Eclectic is definitely OK here.

Once you have your pots, you just need some flowers and potting soil.  Again, Home Depot is a good place for this, but anywhere garden supplies are sold will work.  Find potted flowers that are a color and style you like.  If you're doing a lot of centerpieces, you could get a flat of flowers without spending much (such as impatiens).  You can mix the colors and styles for a fun look.  You simply pot the flowers, filling in with extra potting soil, and your centerpieces are good to go!

Party Production Rentals Is Moving

We are excited to announce that Party Production Rentals is moving to a new location in East Village!  Our new, bigger location is the latest of the investments we’re making to better serve our clients.  Our new location will be at intersection of the 5/94 freeways, just 10 minutes form our current facility and more freeway accessible.  The move will happen late August through early September.

 

Why are we moving?

We've been investing in new equipment and our business is growing, and so we need more space to support the growth.  As anyone who's seen our current warehouse can attest, we're bursting at the seams. This bigger location will enable us to better serve our clients by having space for more inventory, better maintenance facilities, improved freeway access and better systems.  In addition, it will be a better work environment for our staff.  This location enables us to be close to our many South Bay clients, and more centrally located for our other clients.

What is the new address?

The showroom/office address is 705 16^th Street, Suite 200, San Diego, 92101.  Pickup (will call) orders can be picked up at the back of our warehouse at 710 17^th Street.

Will the phone number change? 
No, our main phone number will remain 619-585-3605, and our web site will remain www.partyproductionrentals.com.

What is the last day to pick up orders at 657 Palomar Street, Suite J in Chula Vista?

The last day to place orders for pick up at our current location is August 26th. The last day to pick up those orders at our current location in Chula Vista is Friday, September 2.  We'll then be closed on September 3rd, 4th, and 5th for Labor Day Weekend - and to finish moving.  The orders can be returned to 657 Palomar Street, Suite J in Chula Vista, but they must be returned no later than Tuesday, September 6th.  We will be completely out of our current building by the September 6th.  Any late returns will be charged a late fee and must be returned to our new location.

Will there be any interruption to our services?

No, we will continue to offer our services as usual.  However, our showroom will be moving the week of Aug 29^th and there will be no items available for viewing.  Our office will be open to place orders and receive payments, take questions, etc. We hope to open our new showroom by September 8th.  Work has already starting in getting the space ready.

Will delivery fees change?

Delivery fees will largely stay the same as we are not moving far.  However, our fees are based on travel distance, and customers in the immediate vicinity of our current office may see a nominal increase.  Delivery fees for downtown San Diego and the surrounding areas may see a decrease. 

We'll be sending additional communication to our clients in the next week, but please don't hesitate to email us or call (619-585-3605) if you have any questions
