Getting Ready to Host a Graduation Party
Graduation season is nearly here, and now is the time to start planning the details for your party to celebrate this momentous occasion. Whether you are planning the party for yourself or for your child, be sure to take the time to figure out what you really want at the event. Use this guide to learn a few tips to help you host a successful graduation party .
Get All of the Supplies You Need
Whether you are hosting the party in your backyard or found an offsite venue, you have to prepare yourself with the party supplies you need to put the event together. Look into getting party rentals like tables, chairs, linens, and audio/visual equipment. Choosing and reserving these rentals in advance will make it much easier to put together a successful party.
Find a Theme
Party planning becomes much easier when you have a theme around which to design your party. If the graduate loves a certain movie or book, you might want to incorporate it into the party. You can even create unique seals for your party favors that honor the graduate and connect the rest of the details of the party. Choosing some kind of theme before you start to really plan the party makes it much easier to select the other details.
Figure Out the Menu
If you are planning to serve food at the party, you should decide on a menu as soon as possible. Deciding on the food gives you a better idea of how many plates and serving containers you will need. Create a list of food and beverages that you plan to serve and go through the event rental company’s product catalog. Renting products that make it easier to serve your food will take a lot of stress out of the party planning.

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 .

Tropical Luau Fun
Austin has a wonderfully warm climate, so you can have an outdoor cocktail party almost any time of year.

To quench the guests’ thirst, you can serve island-inspired creations such as Daiquiris, Mai Tais, or Hurricanes in the appropriate glassware.
