• Helium Safety Tips

    Colorful Balloons

    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.

    American Party Rental is Austin’s answer to party supply rentals and equipment that enhance an event. Whether you are planning a small party or a huge celebration, our party supplies and table and chair rentals help you get set up. To order a helium cylinder or to learn more about using it safely, call (888) 717-7301.

  • 3 Tips to Stay Organized When Planning Your Party

    Planning a Party

    When planning a party, it is easy to get distracted and overwhelmed by all the little and big tasks you need to complete in order to make your event memorable. As a result, without focus and good organization, you may forget essential supplies, and your party may not run as smoothly as you had hoped. Luckily, the following party tips will help you stay on track when throwing your big bash.

    • Write Down Goals

    The first planning step is creating a party journal, or simply grabbing a notebook page and writing down what you want your party to be. Does it have a theme? Will you plan activities? Are you going to provide a meal or just snacks? Will you need to rent a party tent, chairs, or tables? Figure out the big picture, and then assign dates by which you hope to accomplish these general goals.

    • Make Detailed Checklists

    Now you can break down your big plan into detailed party checklists you will use to ensure that you don’t forget anything and complete all necessary tasks in time. Title each list according to a general category, such as “Food,” “Activities” and “Party Supplies,” and figure out exactly what you need to purchase, rent, and do in order to make each component of your party a success.

    • Gather Supplies Early

    Last-minute shopping is stressful and will usually end up costing you more money. While you should send out your invites six weeks before your party, you should call your rental company as soon as you determine what you will need for party supplies in order to reserve them. Gather your food and goods a week before your party so that you have extra time to double-check what you have, leaving you plenty of time to clean and get your home ready.

    American Party Rental in Austin can make your party unique with our wide selection of quality party supplies. Our friendly and helpful staff will also help you to get everything you need for your big bash, from cupcake stands to disco balls and everything in between!

  • 3 Tips for Renting Your Wedding Table Linens

    Table set for a festive party or dinner

    Choosing linens may not be at the top of your wedding planning task list, but the perfect table linens can give your reception the “wow” factor you are looking for. The appropriate wedding linens can complete your color scheme and will also greatly enhance the overall aesthetic and mood of your special day. Use the tips below to rent your table linens with ease and make your wedding reception a visual success.

    • style=”font-size: 11px;”>Select Appropriate Sizes

    Enlist the assistance of your reception venue to plan a comfortable seating arrangement and room layout for your reception. From this plan, you can determine how many tables you will need to dress with linens, which may include dinner, cocktail, cake, and place card tables. Your rental company can also provide you with each table’s size so that you will choose the appropriate tablecloths, runners, napkins, and table skirting for your reception.

    • style=”font-size: 11px;”>Choose Colors that Complement Your Theme

    Next, you should select table linen colors that work well in the room where your reception will be held and fit the theme of your wedding colors. Most modern brides and grooms choose at least two colors that influence the décor of the entire wedding, so you may choose linens in multiple colors. Also, if your wedding activities will take place over the course of a day, check the effect of the changing light on the color tone of the room and your chosen linen colors.

    • style=”font-size: 11px;”>Place Your Order Early

    Don’t let your linens get lost in the flurry of your wedding planning! Because linens feature so prominently in the reception and provide the backdrop for your table centerpieces, don’t put off this important task; waiting until the very last minute to place your linen order with your rental company can limit your choices. In order to ensure the linens you so carefully selected are available, you should reserve your linens six to 10 weeks before your big day.

    American Party Rental has provided Austin with quality event and party supplies for over 20 years. Our family business has everything you need to make your wedding day a success! To learn more about our rental policies, call us at (512) 837-6500.
