Planning a Post-Wedding Brunch Buffet
When planning a wedding, the last thing you want to think about is adding another event to the wedding weekend. However, a post-wedding brunch is an event that is designed to be a casual way to wrap up a wedding. For tips on planning an enjoyable day-after wedding brunch complete with wedding supply rentals, keep on reading.
Guest List
Whether you had a large wedding or a more intimate affair, the post-wedding brunch is traditionally a smaller event . Generally, the bride and groom’s close family and bridal party will attend the brunch. Of course, the bride and groom may decide to invite others that they are close to, or perhaps guests who traveled from out of town for the wedding. The brunch is a chance for the bride and groom to have a more relaxed time with some of their guests. The stress of the wedding is over, and now is the time for the bride and groom to enjoy the company of their guests!
Location
The location of the brunch buffet should be convenient for guests. If the wedding was at a hotel and many guests stayed the night, then it would make sense to have the brunch at the hotel as well. A location near the venue, or where guests stayed the night, would be the best option so that guests can easily join you instead of having to worry about finding transportation to a totally new venue.
Time of Day
The optimal time for your post-wedding brunch will depend on the time of your wedding. If your wedding runs into the evening, consider starting brunch later in the morning. Make sure you know which guests have to leave and when so you can avoid starting brunch too late in the day.
When planning your post-wedding brunch, don’t forget the necessary wedding supply rentals! American Party Rental has you covered, from wedding accessories to party food catering to party decorations . Call (512) 236-5773 to learn more about how we can provide all you need for the perfect brunch.

Dealing with Divorced Parents At Your Wedding
The vast majority of the clients I’ve worked with over the years have had divorced parents on one side of the aisle. The divorced couples who got along made the wedding day effortless. The ones who didn’t get along made it a bit challenging. There were a few times I had to instruct a mom or dad to behave or leave.
I’ve always felt that the wedding couple is who sets the tone for the behavior. Don’t be afraid to set some rules about how the divorced parents should conduct themselves, and make sure to be gracious and recognize all the parents involved. Try to set aside any differences you have with your stepparent or step-siblings. It will make your wedding day far less stressful.

Tips for Renting Your Party Tent
If you are planning any type of outdoor event, such as a wedding or family reunion, contact a company that rents party tents in Austin . In Austin, both sun and rain can be equal concerns at the same time of year, and you want to make sure that no matter what the weather is like, your guests can enjoy your outdoor event. The tips below will help you rent the right tent for your event.
Tent Size
The nature of your event will determine the size of tent you need . For a wedding ceremony and reception, you will need a tent that is large enough to cover a seating area for all of your guests, since all of them will be sitting down for most of the event. You may also want to allow room for a dance floor. For family reunions, outdoor fairs, and other types of events, you don’t need to provide cover and seating for every single guest at once, so you can make do with a smaller tent or even several smaller party tents.
Event Time
The time of day will affect the type of tent you need. For events in the middle of the day, the primary purpose of the tent is to protect guests against sun and rain. You probably do not need tent walls or a liner for daytime events in Austin, unless you are hosting one in the middle of December or January. For evening events, you should arrange for a tent with walls and a liner, since evenings can bring chilly breezes.
Tent Set-Up
You can set up smaller tents without walls or linings yourself, which makes it easy to rent a tent or two if you just want canopies to provide sun shelter for your event. If you want a larger tent, complete with walls to protect against the wind, you will need your party supply company to set it up for you.
American Party Rental provides a full range of party supplies, including tents, party lighting, tables, chairs, catering equipment, and more. Call us today (512) 837-6500 to inquire about our products, rental rates, and tent set-up services .

Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Linens
Table linens are among the most visible wedding accessories, so you should choose them with care. You do not need to purchase linens, even if you are doing a lot of your wedding planning, set-up, and take-down yourself. A wedding supply rental company will have a wide range of linens for you to choose from in many colors, patterns, and materials.
The color of your wedding linens should fit into the color scheme of your wedding. If you go with a pastel palette, you should choose pastel linens; if your motif is jewel toned, you should use jewel-toned linens. Be sure to also consider the season when you’re selecting wedding linens. Earth tones might be best for fall and winter weddings, while bright colors and pastels are often better for summer and spring. You might also consider setting each table at your reception with a different color so your guests can find their seats easily.
You can rent linens, as well as any other party supplies you will need for your wedding, from American Party Rental. Call us today at (512) 837-6500 to rent party supplies in Austin .
