Royal Kunia Cul-de-Sac Block Party: Shared Shade, Split Lines, Zero Clutter

Cul-de-sacs are perfect for neighbor nights: kids ride bikes, aunties talk story, and grills go nonstop. Keep it tidy with shared shade, split beverage lines, and a simple power plan. This guide outlines counts, three street-safe layouts, and a friendly timeline. We’ll reference A & B Party Rentals for pop-ups, banquets, folding chairs, cocktail rounds, linens, string lights, cord covers, and trash stations.

Quantities (Seats for 60–70%)

• Shade: 10’×10’ pop-ups chained in a row; weight every leg (no stakes on asphalt).
• Tables: Banquets for potluck + cocktail rounds for standers.
• Chairs: Perimeter seating; +10% buffer.
• Lighting: String lights hung between pop-ups; task lights at food.

Layouts (40, 80, 120 Guests)

Layout A: 40 Guests

• Two pop-ups over potluck; cocktail rounds central; chairs at curb.
• Single beverage table; trash with lids near end of row.

Layout B: 80 Guests

• Four pop-ups making a shaded lane; dual buffet lines same direction.
• Two drink points (water/tea split) at opposite ends.

Layout C: 120 Guests

• Six pop-ups; 4’ pedestrian aisle; mic corner for quick mahalo.
• One cord route only with covers; announce quiet hours.

Food & Safety

Full-lid chafers, labeled allergens, and cooler rotation (one open, one chilling). Keep bikes clear of cord path. A & B Party Rentals provides weighted bases, cord covers, and lantern kits ideal for street setups.
