There are many choices you must make prior to your wedding, such as renting tables and chairs, china patterns, and the catering menu. Your menu is an important element of your wedding, because it will help entertain your guests and keep them well-fed. Your menu may also influence the number of serving platters and china you rent in Annapolis. Here is a better look at how many courses you should plan for based on your wedding details:

As you can see in the attached video, the number of courses will often depend on the formality and time of day of your wedding. For example, a brunch or lunchtime wedding will have fewer courses than an evening event. You may also choose fewer courses if your wedding has a more casual theme. Speak with your caterers to determine the perfect menu and course choices.

• There are countless colors and styles to choose from when renting your table linens in Washington, D.C. You can choose classic white or ivory, or you may subscribe to the growing popularity of black table linens. You may decide to be wholly original and rent linens in bright colors, patterns, and fabrics. No matter your choice, however, there are certain tips to help you choose the best tablecloth colors for any type of reception. Let’s take a closer look below.
• Consider the colors and lighting of your outdoor venue. Your desired table linens may clash with the colors of your venue. If this occurs, then consider a different shade of your preferred color or using only accent pieces in the desired color.
• If you have a bright, dominant color in your wedding, then choose white or ivory tablecloths and rent china or table runners in your wedding color.
• You may also prefer a touch of color by renting white tablecloths and using a lace overlay in the color of your choice.

Family reunions are a great time to catch up and have fun with long-distance family. Planning a reunion for the first time, however, can be stressful. You can cut back on the stress by enlisting helpful family members to book the rental equipment and help set up your venue in Baltimore. Read on to learn some easy tips that will make planning your first family reunion a great experience.

Tip #1: Form a Planning Committee

It is best to plan any sort of large get together with the help of others. If you are wrangling in family members from all over the country—and you need to set up lodging, food, and activities—then you need all of the help you can get. Enlist family members who get along and work well together. Designate tasks to each person and set up deadlines for each task to be completed. For example, any rental equipment, such as china or chair rentals, should be rented about two months prior to the reunion.

Tip #2: Plan Well in Advance

Planning a family reunion requires a lot of time. If you are planning a large reunion, then start making reservations for lodging and travel six months to a year before the reunion date. Book a large estate, hotel rooms, or banquet hall a year in advance, because these locations are commonly reserved for large parties as soon as they become available. Notify all of the family once you have a specified date for the reunion. This will give your family members plenty of time to request time off work, make travel arrangements, and make other vacation plans.

Tip #3: Start Small the First Time

For your first time planning a family reunion, try to start as small as possible. Only invite close family members who do not get to see each other often. If you start too big, and invite extended cousins for example, then you risk becoming overwhelmed and the reunion falling apart.

There are countless ways to decorate your cocktail bar area. Consider your wedding or event theme before choosing your rental equipment, because you may find some new ideas for your party rentals. For example, a regular wooden table rental in Annapolis can be spruced up with the addition of sand or table linens. You can create the perfect cocktail decorations using a variety of rentals available to you. Read on for some fun ideas to decorate your cocktail bar area.

Rustic

If your wedding or event has a rustic or country theme, then decorate your cocktail bar with wooden barrels, wagon wheels, and wooden fixtures. Rustic elegance is a popular party theme right now, and it can be easily accomplished with a few simple party rentals. For example, large barrels and repurposed wooden centerpieces will give your rustic cocktail hour the added flair it needs.

Beach

Whether your wedding is on the beach or hundreds of miles away from the beach, you can bring the sand and waves to you. Set up a repurposed wooden shelf or table, and lay down heaps of white sand on the surface. Place seashells, starfish, and netting around the table for more beach vibes. Display signature cocktails and beers nestled in the sand with a cocktail umbrella shading them.

Banquet

Create an elegant and formal affair with a banquet décor around your cocktail bar. Drape fine table linens across the table. Set up tealight candles or candelabras on the table and around the bar area to create a soft glow and warm feeling. Place tall centerpieces on either side of the bar to properly frame it, and place large trees or drapes behind the bar for a more elegant look.

Speakeasy

Speakeasies are making a comeback in the bar scene, so why not include it in your wedding or special event? Your table and chair rentals should come in dark colors with cushioned seats. Choose dark woods for your bar table, and set up ferns to frame the bar.

Dancing by yourself is a great way to show confidence and have fun on a dance floor rental in Annapolis. Instead of sitting alone on a chair rental at your next event, head out on the dance floor and have a great time. Watch the video and read on for more information about dancing by yourself.

The dancers in the video suggest dancing in a figurative box around the dance floor. This is a simple dance move that requires you to step to the side, step back, step to the other side, and then step forward. You can make these simple steps more energetic and exciting by adding some turns, bouncing, bending, and snapping your fingers. Impress everyone with your confidence and security in solo dancing at your next special event.

Your sweetheart table is meant to look brighter and more beautiful than all of your other table rentals in Baltimore. This table showcases you and your new spouse, so it is important to add extra flair. You can add more rental equipment, such as table linens and candelabras. You can also create a personalized backdrop or sprinkle extra flowers. Let’s look at some popular décor schemes for your sweetheart table.

Set up a Backdrop

In addition to decorating your sweetheart table, hang a personalized backdrop behind you and your spouse. The backdrop can be made of a monogramed, decorated, or cut out a piece of fabric, or you can decorate a large piece of foamboard. Consider the material that will best match your wedding theme and decorate it in a complementary manner.

Add Textures

You can also add different types of texture to the table to make it stand out from the rest of your table and chair rentals. For example, bunched-up tulle, faux fur, and burlap all have interesting and noticeable textures that can be dressed up however you like.

Splurge on Linens

The sweetheart table should stand out from the rest of your table rentals. This can be easily achieved with different table linens. Use different colors or pattern of colors from the rest of your tables. You can also choose different fabric, such as satin or silk.

Add Extra Lighting

There are easy ways to add extra lighting to your sweetheart table. Beautiful candelabras can stand on both sides of the table. Small strings of light can circle your table. You can also set up extra tealights around your centerpiece for extra mood lighting.

Sprinkle Flowers

Add flower petals over your entire table and on the ground. Sprinkle your sweetheart table with flowers that match your colors and your décor.

Use Nature

If your wedding is outside, then consider using nature as your backdrop. Set up your sweetheart table against a beautiful hedge and use potted plants to line the aisle to the table.

There are several benefits that come with renting party supplies in Washington, D.C. Renting your supplies will give you greater variety and greater peace of mind, whether you are throwing a corporate event, anniversary party, or a wedding. Here is a better look at the benefits you can expect from renting party supplies:

• You will have access to more party rentals. You can choose between several china patterns and table linen designs. This will give you a better chance of creating a cohesive and attractive party theme.
• You will not have to worry about cleanup duties after the party. Many rental companies only require china and flatware to be rinsed and placed back in their containers. This takes a lot of stress and time off your hands, so you can focus on having fun with your guests.
• Renting supplies is more cost-effective than purchasing items. There is no reason to purchase dozens of chairs, tables, and dishware that will only be used once. It is also damaging to the environment if you purchase one-time-use plastic items.

Wedding cakes and desserts are becoming more beautiful and more inventive every day. You can commission a hand-painted cake or display a variety of mixed desserts on your table rentals near Annapolis. Ensure that your wedding cake—like your party rentals, table linens, and rented china—represent you and your significant other by taking an active hand in its creation. Speak with your cake designer, party rental specialist, and wedding coordinator about the best ways to feature beautiful summer ideas for your summer wedding. Get started by reading about different summer wedding cakes below.

Summer Paintings

Painted wedding cakes are the rage right now because they are hand-crafted pieces of art that can subtly represent you and your significant other. You can have your favorite summer flowers or your favorite summer vacation spot painted on the sides of the cake. Speak with your cake designer to determine how simple or intricate your cake painting can be.

Modern Shapes

Geometric shapes are another popular wedding feature. This idea is especially good if you or your significant other likes math, engineering, or architecture. Your cake designer can decorate each shape with patterns of your wedding colors. If you do not like geometric shapes, then consider modern lines that are sleek and clean. Continue this idea across your wedding decorations to create a cohesive theme.

Mixed Desserts

There are no rules that say you must serve a wedding cake at your wedding. In fact, many people do not like the traditional wedding cake. Serve a variety of desserts to please all of your guests. You can use different-sized serving platters to create an engaging and interesting-looking dessert table. Consider serving a small wedding cake, chocolate-covered fruit, and candies for a nice variety of sweets that your guests will love.

Bundt Cakes

Bundt cakes are another welcome change from traditional wedding cakes. You can serve different flavors and display them in flattering patterns around your dessert table. You can also decorate your Bundt cakes to match your wedding colors and the colors of summer.

Toasting is a common feature at weddings, corporate events, and anniversary parties . Hosts are usually prepared with various party rentals in Annapolis—such as a microphone and audio rental equipment—but every guest may not be as prepared to deliver a toast. However, the attached video offers three easy tips to help anyone deliver a great toast. Read on for a better look.

1. Keep the toast short, sweet, and concise. A toast should not be long-winded, so practice delivering a few simple anecdotes and speak from the heart.
2. Be careful when adding humor into a toast. A humorous toast should not be offensive, degrading, or filled with bad language.
3. Practice well before the event. In case there is no available audio rental equipment, then be prepared to project and enunciate so everyone can hear.
