If you want the sort of party that calls for a great deal of wholesome fun and laughter, an indoor party isn't always the way to go. Indoors are for more intimate gatherings, where family and friends can meet up and enjoy a quiet cup of punch or cocoa, and have a laugh or two before it's time to go home. If you want room to run around and breathe fresh air, an outdoor party tent is the way to go! But do you want just any party tent? For an especially memorable experience, look into spherical party tents.

Regular triangular tents, sometime called teepees, don't have as much room inside for movement as spherical party tents. Spherical tents - also called dome tents - have canvas walls that form a semi-circle. There is more room from wall to wall - and from the floor to the ceiling, overall - than there would be in triangular tents. Canopies, closed or open, may offer a larger amount of space, but the design may be too plain and boring for those used to outdoor gatherings. Opt for a little novelty!

What makes a party tent? Well, usually it's the people inside them - or, more accurately, the party people inside them. If you consider yourself a real party person, even the small confines of an outdoor tent can be fun - devise fun games and neat party tricks to keep the company lively and laughing.

Another thing that would classify a protective piece of canvas as a "party tent" would be the designs on it. Whatever shape you want for your tent, you can purchase one that has a blank or monochrome canvas. Then you can proceed to buy non-toxic canvas paints from your nearest art store, and have fun decorating your party tent with your family and friends. It's not just the fun moments that occur inside a party tent that end up being memorable, after all - the act of decorating the tent itself could be a happy memory!

If you intend to host a large outdoor event, such as a children's party or a family reunion, you can buy a lot of spherical party tents and set them up, one for each group or family. The people attending the party can then go "tent-hopping" and enjoy socializing with and getting to know the different residents of each tent! You can also devise a fame where people can hunt for different items that are hidden in some tents, with clues to set them on their way. Be creative - get uniquely designed party tents, and make unique party plans!
