Yes — you should rent a porta potty for your graduation party, especially if guests will be outside or your home bathroom cannot handle the crowd. A portable restroom keeps things running smoothly so guests can enjoy the party without waiting in a long line inside the house. At Cassie’s Cans, we help Rhode Island families set up clean, comfortable restrooms for all kinds of events. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get the right unit for your big celebration.
Why a Porta Potty Makes Your Graduation Party Better
When you have 30, 50, or even 100 guests outside, your home bathroom gets overwhelmed fast. Long lines inside the house pull people away from the fun and can make things feel chaotic. A portable restroom keeps the party outside where it belongs. It also protects your home from heavy foot traffic and helps keep your floors and bathrooms clean all day long.
How Many Porta Potties Do You Need?
The number of units you need depends on your guest count, how long the party runs, and whether you are serving food and drinks. A simple rule of thumb: plan for one unit per 50 guests for a party that lasts a few hours. If the party goes longer, or if you are serving lots of food and drinks, add at least one extra unit to keep up with demand.
- Up to 50 guests: 1 porta potty
- 50 to 100 guests: 2 porta potties
- 100 to 150 guests: 3 porta potties
- Food and drinks being served: add 1 extra unit

Which Type of Porta Potty Is Best for a Graduation Party?
Not all portable restrooms are the same. The type that works best depends on your guests, your budget, and the vibe of your event. At Cassie’s Cans, we offer several options that are perfect for graduation parties.
The Standard Can
Our standard porta potty is the most popular pick for graduation parties. It is roomy, clean, and ready to use right when it arrives. Every unit is deep-cleaned, sanitized, and stocked with hand sanitizer before we deliver it. If you need a reliable restroom that gets the job done without breaking the budget, this is it.

The Luxury porta potty
Want to impress your guests with something extra? Our Luxury porta potty includes a hands-free flushing toilet, interior lighting, and a built-in sink. It feels much more like a real indoor bathroom than a standard unit. If your graduation party is a bigger affair or you want to give your guests a more comfortable experience, the Lux Can is worth it. Get a Quote Today ➡️
ADA-Accessible Units
If any of your guests use a wheelchair or need extra space, we offer ADA-accessible portable restrooms. These units are wider, have grab bars on the inside, and feature a low-threshold entry. Every guest deserves to feel welcome and comfortable at your graduation celebration, and we make sure that happens. Get a Quote Today ➡️
Add a Handwashing Station
A portable handwashing station is a smart add-on for any outdoor party. Guests can wash their hands right next to the porta potty, which keeps things clean and hygienic throughout the event. Our stations use a hands-free foot pump, so no one has to touch anything to get clean water. This is especially helpful if you are serving food, which is common at most graduation parties.
Adding a handwashing station is one of the easiest ways to show your guests you care about their comfort. It is a small extra cost that makes a big difference in how the party feels. Get A Quote Today ➡️
Where Should You Place the Porta Potty?
Placement is important for making sure guests can find and use the restroom easily. You want it close enough to the party that people do not have to walk far, but not so close that it becomes part of the scenery. Here are some helpful tips for placing your unit:
- Keep it close enough for guests to find, but away from the food table
- Pick a flat, firm surface so the unit stays stable and level
- Leave room around the unit for our delivery truck to drop off and pick up
- A shaded spot helps keep the interior cooler on warm spring or summer days
Our delivery team will work with you to find the best spot when they arrive. We call ahead before delivery so there are never any surprises.
When Should You Book Your Porta Potty?
Graduation season is one of our busiest times of year in Rhode Island. Most parties happen in May and June, which means units book up fast. We recommend reserving your porta potty at least 1 to 3 weeks before your party date. The sooner you book, the more options you have.
We serve all of Providence County, Bristol County, and the rest of Rhode Island. We typically deliver within 24 to 48 hours of booking, but during peak season, booking early gives you peace of mind. Call us at 401-932-4470 or fill out our online quote form to lock in your date.
