Planning Your Charleston Party
Determining Guest Count
Accurate guest counts drive equipment needs. Count confirmed attendees, account for plus-ones, and consider typical RSVP response rates when planning quantities.
Venue Selection & Logistics
Whether hosting at home, renting a venue, or celebrating in a Charleston park, confirm delivery access, setup space, power availability, and any restrictions on tents or equipment.
