Re: Is there a list out there? I need to know what I need for a backyard wedding.
Be careful renting everything can cost A LOT. I think the 'WEddings for Dummies' book and 'Bridal BArgains' book devotes a whole chapter to weddings at home. Be careful of your choices because they can run just as much as halls.
You do need to rent:
tent chairs tables linens dance floor silverware glassware painting touched-up around house landscaping, possibly planting caterer must be able to have access to kitchen or have a portable setup Port-a-potties if over a certain number of guests
Oh, speaking of make sure you have adequate toilet facilites and that the cesspool if applicable has been pumped recently. We don't even want to think of the possibilities.

Plenty of candles...possibly even those citronella ones. Maybe a permit from the town for parking all the cars? I don't know where I read about that but it might be something to look into.

Yes, you definitely have to check with the town. It's best to provide valet parking and park the cars away from the house if there are a lot of other houses around. Also it's good to invite the neighbors considering if they aren't you might be disturbing them. I would at least inform them. Keep in mind sound ordinances... a dj or band would have to end at a particular time depending upon your locality.
