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.

When accounting for all your party supplies, it is important to make sure you have everything you need for a complete event.
If you are planning to have balloons for your party decorations, be sure not to forget to rent a helium tank. You may have selected all your final linens, but haven’t secured a backdrop for your event. Perhaps everything is ready to go with your venue, but you haven’t nailed down a way to reserve parking spaces.
At American Party Rental , we have all the odds and ends necessary to complete your event, such as party lighting! Call (512) 236-5773 to inquire about all the party supplies we offer and how we can help put the finishing touches on your event.

Essential Summer Party Planning Tips
Having a backyard party in Austin is the perfect way to cool down during the summer. There are lots of ways to make your party unique and unforgettable. Invite your friends, rent some party equipment, and get ready to have some fun. Read on for party planning tips for your summer backyard get together .
Stay Cool
If you are hosting a party in the summer, keeping your guests cool is a must. For a tasty and refreshing treat fill ice cube trays with water, as well as raspberries or slices of lemon and limes. Once frozen, drop the cubes into a glass of water or lemonade for a delicious burst of flavor. Another chilly option is to fill decorative bins, or even just coolers, with plenty of ice and assorted bottled beverages for people to choose from.
Summer Decorations
Keep the atmosphere of your summer party light and cool with decorations that blow in the breeze. Soft colors and flowing materials will look great around your backyard. Try hanging a paper flag banner in a central location for a fun visual. You can also decorate with an abundance of summer flowers. Get a festive, glamorous feel when the sun goes down by lining a pathway or two with white tea light candles. If you don’t want to buy decorations, you can always rent things like assorted linens from a party supply rental store.
Outdoor Entertainment
Hook up a projector, which are always available to rent, to a laptop and play movies in your backyard. Hang up a white sheet or use an empty wall as a movie screen. Your guests will love gathering around the screen for a good laugh. For good old-fashioned fun, pick out a colorful piñata and hang it up for your friends to take a crack at. You may be surprised how much fun you can have with games from back in the day!

Questions to Ask Your Catering Company
The food is one of the most significant parts of any wedding reception. When hiring a catering company for your wedding it is a good idea to ask any and all questions you may have. You are investing money, as well as serving a lot of people, so it is important that you know what to expect. Keep reading for some questions you will want to ask your caterer.
Ask About the Food
You likely want the food at your reception to be memorable and well prepared. Find out what kind of food your caterer specializes in, and ask to see menu options . Will the caterer prepare a special dish, such as a family recipe, that you provide? Can your caterer account for different guests’ dietary needs, such as vegetarian, kosher, or gluten free? Also ask whether he or she will bake the wedding cake or if you need to find a bakery.
Questions About Business
Get to know the catering company and how it operates. Establish who the main contact will be. Ask about price range and how many people they are willing to serve. It can never hurt to ask the catering company for references from previous clients. Caterers should offer you a food tasting prior to hiring, so be sure to ask if they don’t. Additionally, find out where the caterer intends to prepare the food.
Other Provided Services
Catering companies will often provide more than just food. The extra services can make your wedding day much easier. You will want to know if the catering company has a wait staff, or if you will have to arrange that through the venue. Will the catering company provide tables and chairs? Do you need to rent catering supplies? Figure out how much of a role your caterer will play during the reception.

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.

Why Shade is Important for Your Party
Everyone loves a good outdoor event, from a large outdoor party to a themed barbeque with friends and family. However, not everyone loves being in the sun all day. Often when people think of getting party supplies in Austin, TX, they do not think to get a tent or some other shelter that will provide shade for their guests. In order to help you plan for your next outdoor party, look on to see why providing shade at your next outdoor event is important.
Shade Provides Comfort
Outdoor parties can attract people of all ages. Often times it is difficult for your guests to be in the sun all day. Anyone who has been around a toddler that is uncomfortable because of too much heat knows that it is not fun. Before you know it, everyone will start to feel the discomfort from being in the sun too long. As a host it is important to acknowledge that shade is needed and provide it for your guests. Renting a tent from a party supply company will allow your guests the opportunity to cool off when they need it, keeping everyone comfortable.
Shade Prevents Health Threats
Being out in the sun for hours at a time can pose health threats to your guests, such as sunburns and overheating. Nothing can bring your party to a halt, like someone getting heatstroke. Often times outdoor parties are accompanied by beverages that can dehydrate the guests. Dehydration mixed with too much sun can be dangerous. Renting tents to provide shade for your guests allows them to be protected from the sun’s UV rays and prevents overheating. This allows for your guests to be focused on having a good time with friends, family, or co-workers in the outdoors.
If you are planning an outdoor event and wish to provide shade for your guests, call American Party Rental at (512) 236-5773. From party food catering to tent rentals and decorations, our staff will help to make sure all your party needs are taken care of.
