Extravagent Extras
If you really want to blow your guests away (along with your budget, possibly) and earn your title of 'best party organiser ever', there are always added extras that will guarantee the 'wow' factor. There are no rules to how subtle or extravagant you can go – your imagination is the only limitation!
Photobooths
A hot ticket at all types of functions, the addition of a photobooth (and props) has never been anything but good fun. It may sit empty for the first hour or so, but once those drinks kick in, inhibitions fly out the window and some massive laughs can be had in that very small space. The photos may be cringeworthy the following day, but at least you'll have evidence of everything!
Food trucks
After years of envying our eastern states and international counterparts, Perth can finally enjoy the food truck craze. For larger events and functions, why not invite a few of your fave 'meals on wheels' providers, and put an alternative spin on catering. They're great for themed occasions, such as Mexican or Brazilian, for example, and are right up there on the coolness scale.
Outdoor cinema
Hire a handful of beanbags, deckchairs or even lounges, along with an outdoor cinema for your next summer event. You can show movies (on private premises only, due to copyright act) or make up personal messages and productions for birthdays, weddings, or corporate events. Many hire companies even include a popcorn machine! Team this with a couple of slushy dispensers and catering, and you'll have one happy audience.
Fireworks
That's right: real pyrotechnics, not sparklers and boat flares. Nothing blows a crowd away more than unexpected explosions of colour in the sky. Weddings, corporate events, launches and closing parties all go off with a bang when the rockets erupt. Definitely something to incite the 'oohs' and 'aahs' from your guests.
