Masquerade

If you’re hosting a black-tie gala, then a masquerade theme fits perfectly. Use low lighting and a three-color palate for your table linen rentals, or choose a single color you can accent with gold or silver. Ballroom dancing is a must at a masquerade event, do don’t forget to rent a dance floor. Live music and upscale accessories are part of pulling this fashionable theme together, so look for luxury features when choosing your party supply rentals.

Vegas

For a gala that is sure to be full of action, build around a Vegas theme. Borrow colors from playing chips and cards to inspire your décor. Game stations are must, so make sure you rent extra tables for things like poker matches and black jack. Consider putting a deck of cards and other game supplies at each table, so that guests can form their own games. Be sure to have some prizes on hand to award the winners of your pseudo-casino games.

Under the Sea

Taking inspiration from the ocean is a tried-and-true theme for a gala. You can opt to take your décor in the direction of a Caribbean theme or go for a nautical look to pull this kind of event together. Blues and green table linen rentals can set the tone for the event, and a seafood-based menu will bring the theme together.
