Spend more time with Family & Friends over the Holidays

So your boss has asked you to organise you company’s annual Christmas party! Or maybe you are having your family over for the holidays, and then you found out your significant other’s distant extended family; most of whom you’ve never knew existed are unexpectedly coming over….Oh the joys of the Christmas Season!

Here are some tips to overcome the stresses of event planning to ensure you have more time to spend with friends and family.

Order early as possible! You’re free to make some changes of to your order in the meantime. Things tend to book out well in advance due to the huge volume of events in the month of December. All it takes is for 1 large party to order all of the one item you desperately need.

Save money!

1. Is your order under $248?
You can also pick up from our new and improved depot. This will save you a minimum $49.90 plus HST. And we’re sure we don’t have to remind you how to use that money. We’ve got Free Seattles Best Coffee, to warm you up on these cold winter days.

2.  If you pick up from our depot, you can take advantage of our damage waiver. It’s just 8% of your order. There is a substantial amount of orders that go out and something breaks or gets damaged. Why bother with replacement fees when you don’t need to. A lot of the time the damage waiver is considerably less expensive than what it costs to replace some inventory. Accidents do happen, and often, but we don’t want you to sweat the small stuff, relax knowing that you are protected from when Aunt Betty has one too many drinks and drops her glass.

3. Ask questions to our Client Service Professionals how you can save money. Don’t be shy! Let’s say you’re like most people and on a budget and you see these beautiful linens that you’re not sure you can afford. We might be able to play around with some different sizing ideas for you so that you can reduce your costs.

Or let’s say this year you don’t want to serve beer from a can, we can recommend how many beer glasses a typical event orders.

In other words, ask lots of questions and you may just get more bang for your buck.

4. Read your contract and then read it again. Ensure that everything you need is on your contract. You can avoid some same day rush emergency delivery fees. This is particularly important when multiple people have been revising the order.

5. Ensure that everything is knocked down, put back in their original containers, scraped of food, drinks emptied and everything is put together in one spot for our drive team to pick up. This will avoid any possible missing item charges, extra labour, and second pick up charges.

So the bottom line is we will do our best to make things easy for you, so you can enjoy your memorable event, and leave the dirty work to us!
