    Set a Spooky Theme|
    The best way to ensure that your guests are nothing short of impressed upon entering your fest is to decorate according to a specific theme. While Halloween will be the overarching theme, of course, you can narrow the décor and food down further by centering them around certain holiday-related creatures like witches, ghosts, and goblins.

    Plan Crafts for Children
    If children will be invited to your  Halloween party , then keep them occupied by planning several fun games as well as some arts and crafts projects. Kids can create bags or baskets to carry their candy in or even put together masks to wear with their costumes while they trick-or-treat.

    Provide Costumes Pieces for Attendees
    It’s inevitable that one of your partygoers will show up without a costume. Help him or her to get in on the fun by having several fun costume pieces on hand, such as wigs, hats, and masks. You can also purchase an inexpensive face-painting kit to decorate attendees’ faces.

    Rent a Space If Necessary
    In addition to renting tables, chairs, serving ware, and other party supplies from your Austin wedding rentals and party rentals store, you might want to consider renting a venue for your event. Not only does this option save you the trouble of cleaning your home the next day, but it also allows you to increase the number of invitees.

    You can find all of the party supplies you need to make sure your Halloween party is a success by visiting American Party Rental. Our Austin, Texas business is your one stop shop for all of the event rental items you will require for your celebrations. Call (888) 717-7301 to learn more about  our products and services

  • Unique Punch Recipes for Halloween

    If you’re getting ready to transform your home or a party rental space into the Halloween headquarters for your family and friends this fall season, then there’s a good chance that you’re busy as a bee putting together delicious drink and food recipes. As your Austin commercial food service professionals will share, one quick way to capture the attention and palette of your attendees is to create and serve several unique punches. If your party is going to be an adults-only affair, then consider putting together a mad scientist type concoction of blood red grenadine, sparkling lemon lime soda, tequila, and frozen orange juice. For a more kid-friendly beverage, fill a bowl with sparkling lemonade and add large cubes of blueberry flavored gelatin to make a colorful drink that resembles creepy, crawly slime.

  • Selecting the Perfect Venue for Your Special Outdoor Events

    During the warm spring and summer months, outdoor parties in Austin take center stage. Many people opt to take advantage of the mild weather and dry Texas heat by renting a tent for an outside celebration. While a party rental company can secure the supplies and equipment you need, it’s up to you to pick the perfect party venue. Here is how you can pick a destination for your upcoming outdoor event.

    Consider the Crowd
    For an outdoor event to remember, it’s important to pick a space that is the perfect size for your number of guests. An expansive outdoor venue is perfect for a large wedding party but it can quickly become overwhelming for a small gathering or company event. Of course, a space that is too small for your event can leave guests feeling cramped and uncomfortable.

    Follow Your Heart
    Many event planners advise their clients to host a party in a place that holds special meaning. If you want to get married in the butterfly garden at your local zoo or in a public park,  it never hurts to ask  if you can host your wedding there. Many public and private venues are available for rental, and you might be surprised at how many like-minded event planners there are!

    Personalize Your Space
    Whether you pick an open field or a friend’s backyard, be sure to make the space your own by adding personal touches. Speak to your party rental company about how to personalize your table, chairs, linens, and décor to create a truly customized party.

    American Party Rental  is proud to be Austin’s one-stop shop for any party rental need.

  • Getting Creative with Your Napkin Folds

    Whether you are planning a wedding, organizing a company event, or brainstorming birthday ideas, you already know that parties are a lot of work and a lot of fun. Creating the perfect event involves even more than renting a tent, tables, and chairs. To make sure your party is a success, it’s important to pay attention to even the smallest details —right down to your linens. Check out this fun guide to how you can get creative with your napkin folds this party season.

    Lotus Fold
    For an event to remember, set the stage with a beautiful table complete with intricately folded napkins. The lotus napkin fold is also known as the water lily or the artichoke, and the floral design is similar to a paper fortune teller. Starting with clean, pressed linens, carefully fold in the corners to leave a center spot perfect for a place card. For the best results, be sure to starch your linens ahead of time.

    Modern Fold
    For a casual event or a company party, think simplicity with a modern napkin fold. One striking contemporary option is to simply roll in both sides of your linen until they meet in the center. You should have two aligned columns framed by triangles. For a basic silverware fold, tuck your flatware into rectangular napkin pockets.

    Rose Fold
    Often used for rolls, this elegant and traditional fold for linens is  ideal for presenting a single piece of bread.  To create a rose fold, starch and press your linens in advance so they rest evenly on the table and hold a crease. Next, fold in the inside of the napkin to create petals. Finish by folding in the linen’s outside corners for a multi-layered, floral shape.

    Here at American Party Rental, we are here to meet all your party needs and surpass even the highest expectations. Our Austin team provides  everything you need  to plan the perfect event, from party equipment to tents to tables, chairs, and table linens.
