When planning a special event, one of the first things you'll need to decide on is what venue to use. After that is settled, it's time to take care of logistics, such as catering and table rentals. No matter what type of tables you pick, you can give them a personalized touch using the right decor, centerpieces, and place settings.
Rental tables will come in handy for almost any type of special occasion or event, including bridal and baby showers, holiday get-togethers, birthday parties, anniversary soirees, graduation celebrations, and wedding receptions. You can also use them in any venue, such as banquet halls, ballrooms, country barns, country clubs or outdoor spaces.
Even if the venue you're using does include tables in the rental price, you may need to rent more from an outside vendor to accommodate your guest list. Tables are also useful for holding gifts, beverage services, decor items, party games, and more. Long tables are ideal for buffet-style meals as well.
Rental tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as circular or rectangular, so choose the type that best suits your event needs. For instance, round tables are perfect for playing games and intimate conversations between guests, while longer tables are traditional mealtime options.
Here are some tips for personalizing your rental tables:
1. Linens
Linens are an essential part of events that include meal service, so pick ones that will work double duty as decor. As one idea, pick tablecloth colors that coordinate with the overall theme of the event, such as turquoise for a beach-inspired look. Tablecloths featuring patterns and designs, such a seashells, tropical fish, and palm trees, are also available.
Depending on your decor budget, choose reusable cloth or plastic tablecloths. Pick cloth or paper napkins in coordinating hues for a cohesive look. Napkin rings featuring themed designs will further add to the display.
If you don't want to cover the entire tables, consider using eye-catching runners instead.
2. Centerpieces
Another way to instantly add visual appeal to a rental table is with centerpieces. Again, you can customize the centerpiece to reflect the party theme, such as sparkling silver vases filled with white flowers for a winter wonderland-inspired event. For a tropical look, go with bouquets of birds-of-paradise, hyacinths, and red, orange, and yellow roses instead.
Other centerpiece ideas include bowls of floating candles, faux or real fruit, and decorative picture frames.
