According to one study, 48 percent of couples-to-wed say that the backdrop and scenic locale are one of the most important things to consider when it comes to planning the reception. This one statistic shows just why so many couples plan to hold their wedding, or at least their reception, in an outdoor location.
Off-beat outdoor venues may perfectly reflect your personality as a couple, but some places don't offer one of the most important features: restrooms. Guests at your outdoor reception are going to need a restroom, so renting basic portable toilets caters to that need with ease. If you want to spruce up these basic facilities to make them more wedding-worthy, check out these tips.
Add Temporary Mood Lighting Inside
The basic portable toilet does not typically have lighting. Many are actually outfitted with a skylight on the top to allow natural lighting in and nothing more. If your reception is planned later in the evening, you may need lighting inside the portable toilets anyway, but this is easy enough to add.
Pick up a few LED lanterns, battery-operated candles, or something similar, and place them in each portable restroom. Guests will appreciate the ability to see inside the unit after dark, but you will also give the interior of the unit a different atmosphere that feels more inviting.
Offer Toiletries Inside for Guests to Use
Wedding receptions can involve a lot of entertainment, such as dancing and entertaining games. Guests will no doubt need to freshen up when they head to the portable restroom. Fill a small basket with things like disposable wet wipes, small bottles of mouthwash, and travel-size deodorant. Guests who come in sweaty and with a smile coated with cake icing can walk away feeling refreshed.
Hang Something on the Outside of the Door
As long as you do not alter the portable unit, you can decorate it to make it more welcoming at the reception. No-scar adhesive can be used to place a small wreath of flowers or a poster with a sweet message on the outside of the door. When the event is over, you can easily pull these items off the door without causing damage to the unit.
Use Products to Offer a Welcoming Fragrance Inside
Scented weddings are actually a recent trend. Couples use fragrances to generate a memory link to their wedding day festivities. Even if you're not following this recent trend at your wedding, you could still use a signature fragrance to make the portable restrooms more inviting. Everyone likes a scented bathroom.
You can make your portable restroom smell nice by doing something as simple as placing a bowl of potpourri inside, setting up an automatic fragrance dispenser, or even placing scented wax cubes in a small jar inside the unit if the temperatures are warm enough to melt the wax.
Play Wedding Music Inside with a Bluetooth Speaker
Portable Bluetooth speakers are not expensive. You even have several different options to choose from for less than $50. These speakers can sometimes hold a battery charge for as long as 24 hours. You can wirelessly connect the speakers to a laptop, smartphone, or another electronic device that is playing a choice of songs from your wedding playlist. Guests entering the facilities will be greeted with music.
With a bit of sprucing up, the most basic portajohn can be perfectly welcoming at a wedding reception. Reach out to us at Gotta Go Site Service Rentals to learn more about our portable facilities and how we can help you achieve the desired atmosphere at your planned outdoor event.
