Okayyyy y’all finally wore me down 😭💛
We’ve been getting asked about this custom tent for MONTHS so here’s the tea...

This setup was under $600.

And before anybody thinks we started like this... absolutely not 😂 We started with basic setups, figured out what worked, made mistakes, made sales, THEN upgraded.
But when it was time to level up, I was not trying to spend thousands on a tent 😭

Huge shoutout to and their printing team for helping bring our custom tent vision to life because they really did their thing 💛🍋

If you wanna see exactly what we ordered, I dropped everything here:

Andddd if you want a little extra off the tent 👀 comment DALLAS and I’ll send over the discount 💛

When we first started vending, there was no custom tent, no fancy setup, and definitely no huge budget 💛

One thing I wish more beginner vendors knew... you do NOT have to start glamorous.
Start with what you have. Learn your market. Build your process. Make sales. Upgrade as you grow.

But when you ARE ready to level up your setup, that doesn’t automatically mean spending thousands either 👏🏽

This custom tent ended up being under $600 and completely changed our visibility at events.

Me: babe it’ll be fun 😅
Him 8 hours later after setup, prep, serving customers, breakdown and loading inventory back up:

The energy at the start of the event isn’t always the same by the end 😭😭😭😂

Small business spouses are built different 😂💛

Some days I still have to stop and remind myself how far we’ve come. 😭🍋

This event ended up surprising us!

In just 3 hours, we sold 150 lemonades with just my husband and me running the booth... and our two kiddos along for the ride. 💛

Was it chaotic?

Absolutely. 😂

But moments like these remind me why we keep showing up, even on the exhausting days.

Building a business while raising a family isn’t always easy, but it’s been one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done.

Would you believe me if I told you there were times we wondered if anybody would even buy one lemonade? 😭🍋

When I first started vending, I thought every successful vendor had a fully custom setup.

Then I started paying attention. 👀

A lot of vendors were using simple tents, homemade signs, printed banners, and DIY branding while they built their businesses.

You don’t have to buy everything at once.

Our setup looked very different before our custom canopy, but those smaller upgrades helped us create a booth we were proud of while staying within budget.

Start where you are.
Make the sales.
Upgrade when you’re ready. 💛

Everyone sees the cute booth, the branded tent, and the finished setup... 😂

What they don’t see is the 24 hours before the event when I’m running around making lists, packing inventory, charging everything, filling coolers, double-checking supplies, and somehow still convinced I’m forgetting something 😭

Owning a business is fun... but nobody warned me about the pre-event chaos 😂

Any other small business owners or vendors feel personally attacked by this? 👀😂

The joke is that he works for free 😭

The reality is Thirst Trap Lemonade wouldn’t be what it is without him.

Most people see me behind the booth, but they don’t see the hundreds of cups he’s labeled, the tables he’s carried, the coolers he’s loaded, the late nights getting ready for events, or the countless times he’s stepped in when I was overwhelmed.

Starting this business was my idea, but building it has absolutely been a team effort.

So yes... technically this is what zero dollars an hour looks like 😭🍋

But I’m grateful every day that I have someone willing to help me chase crazy ideas.

Okay so this is something I think beginner vendors don’t realize at first 😭

A busy event and a PROFITABLE event are not always the same thing.

Thankfully we’ve been really fortunate to have a lot of successful events, but a huge reason for that is because we spend a LOT of time researching events before we commit to them 👀

Just because an event has thousands of people doesn’t automatically mean those people are YOUR customers.

You really have to think about:
Who the event is actually attracting
The age range of the crowd
Family-focused vs adults only
Whether people there are actually spending money
And if your product even makes sense for that environment

A couple questions that can honestly tell you a LOT before booking:
1. “What type of crowd usually attends?”
2. “What vendors/products usually do well here?”

Because the right audience will almost ALWAYS outperform a random giant crowd 😭
