Rental Process
Booking lead times can vary depending on the specific items you need and the time of year. However, as a general guideline, it’s advisable to book your rentals as far in advance as possible, especially if you have a specific date and event in mind. Here are some considerations:
- Peak Seasons: During peak wedding and event seasons, typically in the spring and summer, we at Truly Yours experiences a surge in demand. This heightened demand can lead to increased competition for rental items. To ensure you get the items you desire, it’s highly recommended to book well in advance, ideally around 6 to 12 months ahead of your event date. Doing so secures your place in line and guarantees availability, especially for those sought-after items.
- Off-Peak Seasons: If your event falls within the off-peak season, which usually occurs outside the spring and summer months, you may have more flexibility when it comes to booking. However, it’s still wise to plan ahead. Booking 3 to 6 months in advance is a good practice, as this allows you to lock in your rental items with Truly Yours and avoid any potential last-minute rushes. While off-peak seasons might have fewer bookings overall, popular items can still be in demand.
- Popular Items: Items like chafing dishes, tables, and chairs are staples at many events and tend to be in high demand. To increase your chances of obtaining these popular items from Truly Yours, booking well in advance is a smart move. These items can get reserved quickly, so it’s advantageous to secure them early in your planning process.
- Flexible Rentals: If you have flexibility in your rental choices, such as opting for different styles or designs, you may have more options available to you, even if you’re planning on shorter notice. Truly Yours offers a variety of items to choose from, so being open to alternatives can help you find suitable replacements if your first choice is unavailable.
- Custom Orders: If your event with Truly Yours requires custom-made items or large quantities of specific rentals, providing ample lead time is essential. Several months to a year or more in advance is recommended for custom orders, as these often involve designing, crafting, or sourcing unique items to match your event’s theme or requirements. The more lead time you provide, the smoother the process of creating these custom items will be.
- Last-Minute Events: Sometimes, circumstances require planning an event on short notice. Truly Yours is often capable of accommodating last-minute requests, but it’s essential to understand that availability may be limited. To secure the items you need, it’s best to contact Truly Yours as soon as you know about your event. This way, they can work with you to find suitable alternatives or available inventory.When a client requests party decoration services with less than one week of notice, we require additional resources and labor to fulfill their request within the shorter timeframe. This could include expedited shipping of materials, overtime pay for our employees, and other costs that we wouldn’t incur for a typical project with more lead time.
To cover these additional expenses and ensure that we can complete the project to the client’s satisfaction, we charge a rush fee of 20% of the total cost of the services. This fee helps us compensate our team for the extra work and materials required to complete the job on time, and ensures that we can continue to provide high-quality services even under tight deadlines.
We value our clients and want to make sure that we meet their needs, even on short notice. However, we also want to ensure that our team is fairly compensated for the additional work required to fulfill these requests, which is why we have a rush fee policy in place.
Always keep the lines of communication open with Truly Yours regarding your event date and needs. They are there to provide guidance, assist with availability, and help you make arrangements that align with your timeline and preferences.
Making changes to your order can typically be done, but it’s important to follow our specific procedures. Here’s a general guide on how to make changes to your rental order:
- Contact Us: Reach out to us as soon as you realize you need to make changes. The sooner you communicate, the better chance you have of accommodating your requests.
- Specify the Changes: Clearly communicate the changes you want to make. This might include adding or removing items, adjusting quantities, changing rental dates, or modifying delivery/pickup instructions.
- Check Availability: We will check the availability of the items you want to add or modify. Depending on our inventory and other bookings, we will let you know if the changes are possible.
- Review Updated Quote: Once we have assessed the changes, we will provide you with an updated quote or invoice that reflects the adjustments in pricing, rental duration, or other terms.
- Confirm and Pay: Review the updated quote carefully to ensure it aligns with your expectations. If everything looks good, confirm your changes and arrange payment if necessary.
- Updated Confirmation: After you’ve confirmed and paid for the changes, we will issue an updated confirmation or receipt that outlines the revised order details.
- Delivery/Pickup Instructions: If you’ve made changes to the delivery or pickup details, ensure that we have the correct instructions for your event.
- Keep Communication Open: Throughout the process, keep communication open with us to address any questions or concerns.
It’s important to note that making changes, especially close to your event date, may be subject to availability and possible fees, depending on our policies. Additionally, some changes may be easier to accommodate than others, so it’s advisable to plan your rental order carefully from the start to minimize the need for significant modifications.

If you’re unable to be present, you can designate a trusted individual to oversee the delivery and pickup process on your behalf. Just be sure to communicate any specific instructions or requirements to them in advance.
Our goal is to make your rental experience as convenient and stress-free as possible, and having someone present helps us achieve that goal.

Balloon Longevity Enhancements:
Ultra Hifloat Treatment:
- Enhances the durability of latex balloons, extending their float time. Standard balloons last 18-24 hours, while those treated with Ultra Hifloat can last from one to four weeks.
- Larger 16″ latex balloons can last over 30 hours, and with Ultra Hifloat, three to seven weeks.
- Our 3-foot latex balloons can last three to five days, or six to twenty weeks with Ultra Hifloat.
- Note: Ultra Hifloat is an optional addition that incurs an extra cost but is highly recommended for events spanning multiple days, such as trade shows or extended celebrations, to maintain optimal appearance.
Hishine Treatment:
- We use Hishine to achieve a glossy finish on all our balloon decorations, particularly effective for latex balloons that naturally have a matte appearance. This spray not only adds a beautiful shine but also restores brightness to oxidized balloons, enhancing their visual appeal.
Air-Filled Balloon Options:
- Air-filled latex balloons treated with Hifloat can maintain their size for at least two months. These balloons do not float as they are not helium-filled but are ideal for long-lasting, air-filled displays.
- Foil balloons, known for their less permeable material, do not require Hifloat and can last several days to weeks, depending on environmental conditions and care.
Additional Information:
- The use of Ultra Hifloat and Hishine treatments will increase the cost of balloon decorations but are worth the investment for ensuring your decorations remain vibrant and impactful throughout your event.

At Truly Yours, we want to ensure that your event or party goes smoothly and safely. To help you make the most of our tent rental services, please adhere to the following guidelines to avoid damage, accidents, or additional charges:
- No Smoking Inside the Tent: Smoking or open flames are strictly prohibited inside the tent. Smoking near the tent may result in burns or damage to the fabric.
- No Cooking or Open Flames: Cooking or any open flames, such as grills or fireworks, must be kept at a safe distance from the tent to prevent fire hazards.
- No Adhesive Materials: Do not use adhesive tapes, glues, or any sticky substances on the tent fabric. They can cause damage and may leave stains.

- Custom Tent Draping: Our custom tent draping service starts at $500. This option provides limitless style possibilities, allowing you to personalize your tent decor to match your event’s theme and color scheme. The final price will depend on factors such as the size of your tent, the extent of draping required (including walls and ceilings), and the choice of fabrics.
