When it comes to planning a Halloween party, everyone considers the decorations, costumes, candy, food, or even getting dry ice for that smoky cauldron of punch.
But have you considered the comfort and convenience of your guests? Instead of having them tramp through your house, leaving zombie makeup behind on the way to the bathroom, why not rent a portable toilet?
Here’s how a Halloween porta-potty rental could be an excellent addition to your backyard party this year.
Step 1: Consider the Number of Guests
The size of your event will determine how many portable toilets you need to rent. The general rule of thumb is to rent one portable restroom for every 15-30 guests, depending on how long your party lasts. If it’s an all-day event, you will need to add more restrooms.
If you will be serving food and beverages, you may want to consider renting an extra portable toilet or two to accommodate your guests. That way no one will have to wait in line, and your house won’t get invaded by ghosts and ghouls who really need to go.
Step 2: Select the Right Features
Considering the fact that most Halloween parties take place at night, there are several things you should consider.
- Lighting: No matter what kind of portable toilet you rent, you need to make sure there is adequate lighting both inside and outside your porta-potty rental.
- Hygiene: To prevent the spread of germs, your guests will need to wash their hands. Standard porta-potties come with hand sanitizer, but you could also rent handwashing stations along with portable toilets.
- Spaciousness: For your guest’s comfort and convenience, you should consider renting units that are a little more spacious than a standard portable toilet. Since your guests will be wearing costumes, larger units like ADA-compliant portable toilets or a luxury restroom trailer will provide ample space.
Step 3: Add Spooky Decorations
Decorating your Halloween porta-potty rental is fine, as long as the decorations are temporary. Any decorations need to be able to be removed easily without damaging the interior or exterior of the rental.
With that being said, go ahead and have some fun with decorations. You can find a lot of inspiration on Pinterest, or decorate your porta-potties to match the theme of your party. For example, you could use spooky tape or Halloween door covers. Other portable toilet decorations could include spooky spider webs, fake arms coming out of the ground, and so much more.
