Graduation Open House Porta Potty Guide
Nebraska open-house season runs from May into June. Here is how to keep the line out of the house bathroom.
How many porta potties do you need for a graduation open house?
A graduation open house for 120 guests with food over 3 to 4 hours needs 4 standard porta potties and 1 hand-washing station, using 1 unit per 35 guests with food. A smaller open house of 60 guests needs 2 units. Many families pick 1 flushing unit with a sink as one of them.
| Guests | Standard units | Hand-wash stations |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | 2 | 1 |
| 80 | 3 | 1 |
| 120 | 4 | 1 |
| 200 | 6 | 2 |
When should you book?
Book open-house porta potties 3 to 4 weeks ahead for May and early June Saturdays and Sundays in Omaha. Those weekends fill first because many schools graduate in the same few weeks. Units drop on Friday and come back on Monday.
Where should they go?
Put the units at the edge of the driveway or side yard, away from the food tent, with a hand-washing station in front. Guests find them without walking through the house, and the truck can reach them.
Should you get a flushing unit?
A flushing unit with a sink is a good upgrade when grandparents and dressed-up guests attend. Pair 1 flushing unit with standard units to keep the cost down.

Questions about this rental
Can two families share porta potties for back-to-back open houses?
Neighbors often share units for back-to-back open houses. Add 1 unit for every extra 100 guests over the weekend, and ask for a service visit between the two days.
What if it rains on the open house?
Porta potties are fine in rain. Place them on the driveway or gravel instead of the lawn so guests do not walk through mud.
