A Party House has a large inventory. During the peak months – June thru October – there is a large number of events in Tahoe. Making a reservations early will ensure the items you select will be available.

We recommend you use the price list for you worksheet. When determining the items for you event, always figure on the maximum amount on your original guest list. Two (2) weeks prior to your event, lower the number to meet the needs of your RSVP’s plus 10%. This will ensure you that the equipment will be available. There is no penalty for the decreased amount.

Many or our clients feel comfortable creating their own equipment needs after viewing our helpful suggestions and price list. If this is your desire, please telephone us with your equipment needs. We will be happy to answer your questions and send swatches of fabric you have selected.
