How to Serve Food at Your Wedding Reception
One of the best parts of a wedding is undoubtedly the food served at the reception. Guests look forward to seeing what the host will choose to serve and delight in taking part in the eating. If you’re looking into catering and wedding supply rentals in Austin, consider trying something unique. Read on to learn about different and creative ways to serve your wedding guests.
Have a Barbecue
Barbecuing is always a crowd favorite, and it’s great for a casual wedding held outdoors. You can easily rent barbecue equipment at a low cost and prepare food for a large amount of people. Hire a designated team to barbecue so that your wedding party can relax and enjoy the festivities. Barbecue is easy to serve in a buffet style, with guests lining up and choosing their food and toppings along the way.
Set Up Food Stations
Food stations are a great way to make sure that every guest is happy, especially if you have a large number of guests. You can also take into account everyone’s dietary needs with different tables that serve various foods. Set up a station for each type of food, such as seafood, pasta, or Chinese cuisine, and encourage people to experiment. Keep in mind that this can be a more expensive catering option, but it is a fun choice if it fits your budget.
Serve a Late Brunch
A fun and different way to serve your wedding guests is to cater with breakfast or brunch foods. Especially great for a morning wedding, brunch during the reception is a fun option that may set your wedding apart. Options are endless and preparation is easy with foods like bagels and spreads, pancakes, and specialty meats. You can also choose to have a chef at an omelet station where guests can choose their fillings.

Choosing Linen Colors for Your Event
If you are planning a wedding or event, you will likely need to get table linens with your party supplies in Austin. The color linen you choose will set the ambience for the event. There are many choices of linens from which to choose, including a wide array of colors and designs. Read on to learn what goes into choosing the right linens.
Remember that Lighting Matters
Think about what the lighting will be like at your event, because it sets the mood. The lighting will be different depending upon the venue, as well as if the event is located indoors or outdoors. Be sure to also consider the time at which your event will be held. The lighting will affect the way your linens appear, and it can either help or hurt the look. It is a good idea to bring a swatch of your color choice to the venue to make sure it looks good under the light there.
Look at Your Color Scheme
If you are choosing linens for a wedding , consider the colors of the bridesmaids’ dresses and the floral arrangements. You can coordinate your linen colors with the wedding’s accent colors for a nice, complementary look. However, you can also choose a different color from the designated accents to add more variety, as long as they match! To ensure that your linens match your other color selections, you can stick to a neutral option, such as white, ivory, or beige linens.
Consider the Season
Consider the season when your event will take place and if it will be themed with the season. For an autumn event, try burgundy or gold linens to go with the fall colors. Burlap is also an option that is becoming increasingly popular for autumn and summer events. For a party in the spring, consider softer linen colors such as blue, light green, or pink. Green is great for summer, as are dark blues and purples. Winter is a good time for blues and whites, as well as sleek black linens.
American Party Rental has a huge selection of linens for your event needs, as well as chairs, tables, wedding accessories, and other party supplies. If you have questions about our products or services, call (512) 837-6500 or visit us online .
