Desserts to Consider Serving at Your Next Special Event
Whether you are getting ready to tie the knot or you’re preparing to celebrate the birth of a very special loved one, creating the perfect menu for your big event is an important task that you won’t want to overlook. Once you’ve settled on appetizers, entrees, and drinks, don’t forget to contemplate desserts, since this crucial course can make or break any meal. Here are some desserts you should consider serving at your next special event.
His and Hers Sweets
If the special event you’re planning is a wedding, why not make both you and your partner happy by introducing the idea of his and her desserts ? This is a great way to make sure that both individual tastes are catered to, and it’s also a fun way to provide your guests with options. No matter what desserts you and your love choose, be sure to select the right food service materials when renting your party supplies.A Themed Cake
When in doubt, choose a cake that goes with the theme of the party. Children’s parties are well complemented by cakes with fun themes such as superheroes, cartoon characters, and zoo animals. For a birthday party fit for an older crowd, select a cake themed around fun colors and patterns. Contrasting shades like black and white make for a statement that guests will find memorable.On-Trend Treats
Perhaps you are more of a trendsetter when it comes to cuisine. If so, consider selecting a dessert that is creating a real buzz at the moment, such as the famed “cronut,” mini pies, crepes, or layered truffles. Your guests will be thanking you for opening their eyes to new dessert possibilities. You can find all the equipment you need to present and serve your on-trend treats at your Austin party rentals supplier.No matter what you decide to feature on your party menu, let the professionals at American Party Rental help you present it to your guests. We offer beautiful cake stands, mirrored pedestals, and other elegant food service supplies that will look great at any themed event.

Setting Up a Dessert Bar
One of the most fun accessories that you can incorporate into the layout for your upcoming party is a dessert bar. As the creative duo in this video share, putting together a one-of-a-kind dessert bar doesn’t have to be difficult, nor does it have to be expensive. You can easily transform any neutral space into one conducive to celebrating with help from a few everyday materials, like paper and scissors.
As the designers in this video demonstrate, paper pompoms are a great decoration to use to create a focal point around the dessert area. These pompoms are perfectly complemented by a table that is dressed in fabric of a similar shade and elegant cake stands or serving plates from your local party supplies dealer.
When the time comes to put together your party space, be sure to turn to American Party Rental for all of the party supplies you need. Find out more about our rental catalog by visiting us online or calling us at (512) 837-6500.

Lighting Options for Your Party
When it comes to planning the perfect party, one important fact that is easy to overlook is lighting. Since the wrong lighting scheme can throw off the mood of the celebration, it’s always a good idea to explore different lighting options when consulting with your Austin party rentals company. Continue reading to learn about just a few of the many lighting options you could implement at your party.
Add Drama and Elegance with a Classy Chandelier

Chandeliers have long been a favorite lighting fixture for party planners because of their unique ability to enhance interior ambience . Our chandelier collection accommodates a variety of styles, from more modern with our wrought iron model, to classic with our gold filigree fixture.Create a Whimsical Look with Dainty String Lights
If the look you are going for is more whimsical and lighthearted, don’t hesitate to talk to the party rentals staff about the different string lights we carry. String lights are a great choice for weddings as well as evening events and can be used either indoors or outdoors. Best of all, they are easy to install.Use Pins and Pucks to Create Focal Points
A pin light is a single light that can be focused on a specific area in a room, such as a stage. A puck, on the other hand, is a medium beam light that diffuses the focal point to a greater degree. Together, these two spotlights are the perfect duo to have on hand if you want to create different zones in a ballroom or if you simply want to create an element of drama and excitement.Whatever your lighting requirements are for an upcoming event, you can rely on the staff at American Party Rental to meet those needs.

How to Design an Enticing Menu for Your Special Event
Whenever you’re planning a special event, the menu is definitely a critical piece of the puzzle. Even a small menu can quickly become overwhelming if you don’t take time to design and plan it properly. Here are a few tips to help you prepare everything, down to the table and chairs :
Decide What the Focus of Your Menu Will Be
Whether it’s your great-grandmother’s savory brisket or your signature roasted quail, you need to know from the beginning what the main course is going to be. You wouldn’t want to serve the same appetizers and side dishes with smoked salmon that you would with a pot of chili. Your main course will also help determine what the style of your meal will be, whether that’s casual, formal, or buffet.Consider Color and Flavor Balances
While you do want to have a nutritionally sound menu , you also want it to look good. Green is beautiful and healthy, but too much of it just doesn’t look very enticing. Similarly, buttery mashed potatoes, soft biscuits, gravy, and other starchy foods may be comforting and delicious, but they can make your spread look bland and boring, not to mention unhealthy. Go for diversity in colors, flavors, and textures that are appropriate for the main course, and try not to use the same ingredients in too many dishes.Make It as Easy as Possible on Yourself
Avoid the temptation to try out a brand new and complex recipe for the first time. Stick with things you know you can make quickly and well, and that won’t break your budget. Talk to a party rental supply company about commercial food service equipment that you can use to serve, and go ahead and take care of your flatware and seating needs while you’re there. The more you can do to minimize your work, the more you’ll be able to actually enjoy the event you’ve planned.Come see us at American Party Rental in Austin or call (512) 837-6500 if you’re planning a party or special event.

Planning a Home Holiday Party
Throwing a holiday party at your home can seem stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Making sure your home is festively decorated is a big part of the party planning process, so it is very important to make sure you have the right party supplies for your event.
Set out all of your holiday decorations so you can see what you have and what you need to buy. All aspects of your home should be decorated, and there should be a flow throughout your home so guests can easily mingle.

Factors to Consider When Renting Tables for a Special Event
Finding the right table rental for your special event from American Party Rental is an easy way to make sure your guests are comfortable. We offer a variety of table rentals for every type of occasion. When trying to choose the right table, you should take the following factors into account.
Party Size
The size of your guest list is an important factor when selecting the right party supplies. If you’re hosting a smaller event, you might want to consider renting a few long tables to maximize your space. For larger events, many prefer to seat their guests at smaller round tables so that people can still easily talk to those sitting next to them, and it also provides more space for mingling.Menu
The food you serve and how you serve it are also crucial parts of your event planning. Will you be asking your guests to serve themselves buffet style ? Will servers bring their plated meals to them? Or will the serving platters be placed at the center of the table so guests can serve themselves while sitting down? Once you answer these questions, you’ll have a better understanding of which table rental will best suit your party rental needs.Location
The physical space of your event is another critical component you need to think about for your rental needs. You’ll have to consider possibilities like whether or not the table rentals will be outdoors or indoors, next to a dance floor, in a small space, etc. Once you know the lay of the land, you can determine the size and shape of the table rentals that will create the right environment for your event.If you’re ready to take your party planning to the next level, contact Austin’s American Party Rental today by visiting our website or calling us at (512) 837-6500.
