How Many Restroom Facilities Will You Need?
The days of wedding ceremonies being held indoors is becoming increasingly more bypassed by brides-to-be who consider in-door weddings, out-of-date. Brides are shunning the extreme formalities and choosing to say their “I do's” in rustic barns, in flower gardens, along-side lovely lake settings and other romantic venues. The Texas landscape offers a plethora of options when it comes to choosing that perfect location to make one's outdoor wedding truly unique and memorable.
There is one thing concerning weddings that hasn't changed, however, and that is: making sure wedding guests have quick and easy access to clean, comfortable restroom facilities. This is where Moore Cans makes its grand entrance with immaculate, lovely portable restrooms of all sizes and designs.
Details Easily Overlooked
When considering the number of portable restrooms that might be required for an outdoor wedding event, there are a few basic considerations that are, typically, overlooked. The size of the crowd is a given, of course; but other restroom details – if not calculated in – can add to long lines and wait-time for guests.
1. The Size of the Crowd: The minimum requirement for portable restrooms is set at 1 unit/100 guests/up to 4 hours. Other factors, however, could change the final tally.
2. More Women than Men: It's an undisputed fact: women are much more likely to use restroom facilities more frequently and for longer periods of time than men – after all, primping and gal-to-gal chit-chat can take up a fair amount of time! The predictable outcome is those, outside, who wish to use restrooms, being forced to wait their turn longer than desired.
Ghent University in Belgium revealed their research regarding women's restroom usage: ladies will spend 1.5 to 2 times more time using restrooms than their male counterparts. With this being the case, it is prudent to reserve more portable restrooms for women, compared to the number of restrooms that would be reserved for men. Even offering a single, extra bathroom facility for the ladies can make a difference between long wait lines or shorter wait lines or, none, at all.
3. Serving Alcohol: At most weddings, drinking alcohol is part of the fun of the festivities; and that, of course, translates into more restroom breaks. If your guests will be consuming alcoholic beverages, it would be proactive to calculate 3 bathroom units for every 100 guests who will remain at your event after 4 hours. UCLA Medical Center supports what we know about alcohol: it is a diuretic and acts on the kidneys that results in increased restroom usage.
4. Length of the Event: It can't be argued: the longer the duration of an event, the more-often guests will need to visit restroom facilities. If your event will last longer than 4 hours, one should figure 2 units for every 100 people.
