5 Last Minute Wedding Add-Ons

Make Sure Your Rental Order Covers Everything!

Planning a wedding is hard, y’all! Things change and even the professionals can forget things sometimes. Maybe you received more RSVPs than expected, or you realized your reception layout needs a little extra something. We’ve compiled the most popular last minute wedding rental requests we get to make sure you have the pieces you need before you start to stress.

An Additional Bar

People don’t typically forget that they need a bar at their wedding, but when ALL of your parents friends RSVP yes… more guests means more drinks! If your RSVP count has grown, consider adding a satellite bar to ease congestion at your main bar. Short bar lines = happy, buzzed wedding guests. Our Prohibition Petite Bar makes for a perfect second location to grab a drink.

Cocktail Tables

Maybe you weren’t planning on using the outdoor patio at your venue initially. Your guest count went up and now you could use the space, but what do you do with it? Placing a few cocktail tables around tells guests where they should hang out and enjoy drinks during cocktail hour, providing a place for new faces to meet and mingle. This is also another great place for a satelitte bar, especially if your main bar is in a totally separate area.

A Lounge Next to the Dance Floor

Not everyone will be tearing up the dance floor, (hello introverts and your great grandparents) but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to be part of the fun! Be kind and provide a lounge setup near the dance floor for those who prefer to watch rather than dance. Head right on over to shop our Pre-Styled Lounges for inspiration.

Welcome Drink or Escort Card Display

A favorite wedding trend? Welcome drinks! Who doesn’t want to be welcomed to the party with a cocktail or glass of champagne? Rent shelves for welcome drinks and then repurpose them for an escort card display before dinner. Our Object of Affection Display Shelves are just right for this job.

Cake or Champagne Tower Table

Your wedding cake deserves its moment in the spotlight and you deserve really great photos of it, and same for your champagne tower! These iconic moments during your wedding reception are better set apart from the normal dining setup. Our Fluted Pedestals or White Pillars are great for displays. We also love repurposing a cocktail table, like our Julep, for highlighting a moment like this!

Last minute tweaks don’t have to be stressful—in fact, they can be the perfect opportunity to add a little more personality to your celebration. Now that you’ve made the rest of your design decisions, does that pink bar you lusted after actually fit better than you thought? Are there a few more older relatives that need a cozier seat? We’d love to help you get creative if you find yourself with a little extra budget before the big day!
