    Spring is the season of rebirth and rejuvenation, and can be the season of romance, as well. When you are deciding when to have your wedding, remember how charming springtime in Austin can be. A spring outdoor wedding is lively and festive, and a great way to begin your new life as part of a married couple. When you have the right party rental supplies , you’ll be prepared for an outdoor wedding—even if there are a few spring showers. Keep reading to learn more about having a spring wedding.

    Make it Comfortable

    It doesn’t matter if you are having a formal wedding or a slightly more laid-back affair—either way, you and your guests should have a place to relax. Lounge areas at the wedding reception are currently in vogue, and it’s easy to create a few different seating areas around the event space. Ask your party rental company about fun and funky chairs you can scatter throughout your reception. Lounge areas let your guests take a rest from dancing while still having a chance to mingle with other partygoers.

    Make it Seasonal

    One of the reasons spring is such a popular season for weddings is that it lends a fresh, vibrant feel to the festivities. Keeping this freshness in mind, create centerpieces and decorations that highlight the youth and joy of the season. A light color palette in linens and décor calls to mind newly blossomed buds, and is more interesting to look at than simple white or ivory. Use fresh flowers and fruits to decorate your tables as well as your food service areas.

    Make it Outdoors

    Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather in Austin before the summer heat and humidity set in, and revel in the beauty of an outdoor wedding . You can rent party tents to protect your guests from the sun or an uninvited sprinkle, and you’ll find there’s nothing quite like watching the sun set on your springtime wedding day.

    American Party Rental of Austin is here to help you with everything you need for your spring wedding, from table linens and glassware to chairs and wedding arches. Call us at (512) 837-6500 to inquire about our rental catalog, and let us help you make your wedding day even more memorable.

Brunch is a classy and elegant way to celebrate your best friend’s upcoming nuptials. Use the following tips to plan a brunch that will please the bride.

    Order Perfect Party Rentals

    With the right supplies, you are well on your way to planning a beautiful and intimate brunch for the entire bridal party. Find a table rental that is big enough to accommodate everyone on the guest list and add chairs that are both comfortable and stylish. Table linens allow you to add personality to the location and even choose colors that work with the bride’s chosen color scheme. If you are planning to have your brunch outside, you might want to also get a tent rental to add to the ambiance and protect your brunch in case of rain.

    Choose the Perfect Menu

    Plan a brunch menu that allows you to put on the type of bridal shower you know your friend will love . Whether you want to have a sit-down brunch or a buffet-style meal, it is important to pick food that the bride wants. You might even want to select a menu that complements what the bride has chosen for the actual wedding to create a connective thread between the events.

    Decorate to Her Tastes

    Once again, it is important to keep the bride in mind when choosing decorations. Ask for her input as you pick a décor for the brunch. Candles, flowers, are accessories that quickly add elegance. Decorate based on the bride’s tastes to ensure that the brunch is an event that represents her.

  • Selecting a Color Scheme for Your Event Décor

    When you are planning an event, there are many details you need to consider as you are getting ready. In addition to creating a guest list, selecting a catering menu, and securing a venue, you’ll need to decide on a color scheme for your event. Oftentimes, the type of event will dictate an appropriate color scheme. More formal events tend to have simple yet elegant color schemes such as black and white, while casual affairs may be more colorful and bright. Consider the mood you wish to establish at your event, and choose colors based on the atmosphere you want to create. You can also personalize your event by incorporating your favorite colors into the design scheme, and having table linens and napkins to match your unique preferences.

  • How to Prepare the Tables for Your Next Event

    It takes a lot of work to make any event a success. Whether you are planning a wedding reception , birthday party, corporate event, or a barbecue for your friends, you’ll need the right supplies to make everything go smoothly. No matter what kind of event you’re throwing, you’ll need chairs, tables, and maybe even a tent in case of chilly temperatures. Keep reading to learn how to prepare the tables for your next event.

    table at the reception

    Linens
    You want your event to look good, whether your guests are colleagues and clients or your family and friends.  Table linens  add a classy touch to any party, and show that you took the time to go the extra mile beyond a bare tabletop—or even worse, a plastic tablecloth. Renting table linens allows you to create a sophisticated design scheme, and your guests will appreciate the added elegance even for more casual events. Choose colors that match with the rest of your decorating scheme, and have coordinating tablecloths and napkins to pull the look together.

    Glassware
    If you are planning on throwing a party for small children, paper or plastic cups might suit your needs. However, when you are planning an event that will be attended mostly by adults, it’s best to graduate to rented glassware. Not only does rented glassware look better on your tables, it’s also better for the environment since you won’t be generating excess waste.

    Silverware
    The highlight of any event is almost always the food. Your tables will look much better when the settings have real silverware instead of plastic utensils. In addition to making your event classier, it’s much easier to eat the delicious offerings using silverware, especially if there are meats or crunchy vegetables that need to be cut with a knife.

    American Party Rental is your home for everything you need to make your next event a success. Give us a call at (888) 717-7301 to  learn more about our services . We are Austin’s one-stop shop for tables, linens, chairs, games, and much more. 

  • Your Guide to Winter Wedding Planning

    Planning a wedding is no easy task. In addition to finding the perfect dress or tuxedo, deciding who to invite, and selecting a delicious catering menu, there are many other details that must be taken care of before the big day. A winter wedding can be beautiful and uniquely elegant, especially when you have the right party supplies to accommodate your event. Read on to learn what you need to know about planning a winter wedding.

    Colors
    Though it doesn’t snow very often in Austin, winter is still a lovely backdrop for a wedding. Even if there isn’t any snow on the ground, you can evoke a wintry feel using colors like ivory and black in your décor, including your table linens. A hint of shimmer will give your wedding a glamorous feel, and a few pops of colors such as deep reds or royal purple will keep things playful.

    Venue
    Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to spend all of your time indoors. Having an outdoor  wedding in the winter  is a unique and fun twist on your special day. Your ceremony may be brief, but be sure to provide chairs for your guests. For your reception, consider keeping the festivities outside and rent a party tent. You can customize the tent with your own lighting ideas, and keep things warm with heaters so your guests don’t have to don their winter parkas for the evening.

    Favors
    Your wedding day is one of the most memorable occasions of your life, and it is due in no small part to your friends and family who gather together to celebrate your new life milestone. As a token of your appreciation for their presence in your life, consider giving winter-themed party favors for your guests to take home. You could personalize white or red candles, or bake gingerbread cookies and place a small bag for each guest at every seat at the reception.

    No matter what time of year you decide to get married,  American Party Rental  of Austin has everything you need to make your day a success. Call us at (888) 717-7301 to find out how we can help you with everything from table linens to chairs to dishware and tents. 

  • Which Flowers Should You Choose for a Winter Wedding?

    Winter weddings may not be as common as weddings during the other seasons, but they offer a wonderful setting for unique flower arrangements. Watch this short video to learn which flowers you should choose for a winter wedding.

    It is easy to find flowers in the winter that call to mind the holidays, with lots of reds and greens dominating the stores. For your winter wedding, however, consider keeping your flowers more sophisticated with shades of ivory and cream. You can use green and soft grey touches for an element of interest, and branches give your arrangements height and drama. Muted tones of flowers pair well with vases and containers that have just a hint of sparkle.

    American Party Rental of Austin is happy to provide beautiful vases and other accessories that will make your winter wedding everything you’ve dreamed of. Call us at (888) 717-7301 or  visit us online  for a complete look at our rental catalog.  

  • Helium Safety Tips

    When it comes to event planning, party rentals give you access to some festive extras that enhance the day even more. With a helium cylinder, you can easily fill up colorful balloons, and decorate your venue festively. It is important to follow the proper operating procedure for this party supply, though, in order to keep everyone safe. No one should inhale helium from the equipment or the balloons. Keep children away from the equipment at all times. Wait until you attach a balloon to open the cylinder valve, and be sure to store the tank in a cool, well-ventilated area. You should also remember to shut off the cylinder valve each time you use it.
