The layout and flow of your event starts with the basics. You want your guests to be comfortable, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetic. Skip the mismatched patio furniture and rent tables and chairs that suit your party style. For example:

• Use bold Black Bentwood Chairs to add a modern statement.
• Opt for our relaxed, coastal-inspired Bamboo Folding Chairs for a breezy, backyard feel.
• Cozy up the dining experience with banquet tables, which are ideal for family-style meals and conversational seating.

If you're hosting outdoors, don’t forget functional pieces that also look great, like our White Scalloped Ivory Umbrellas that offer both shade and charm.

Define Your Space with Statement Pieces

If your party is taking place in a yard, driveway, or open indoor area, define your space with visual anchors like backdrops or tents. Our Greenery Wall makes a perfect photo backdrop or feature wall behind a food station or bar. Similarly, Gold Arches add a touch of modern structure and elegance, especially when adorned with florals or signage.

And for larger gatherings or unpredictable weather, party tent rentals are a must. They keep guests comfortable while offering the opportunity to hang lighting, chandeliers, or garlands that enhance the overall vibe.

Serve Beautifully, Not Just Efficiently

Serving pieces don’t have to be hidden in the kitchen, they can be part of your tablescape. We love using carafes or beverage dispensers for batched cocktails or infused water, especially at stations where guests can serve themselves. Similarly, set up your table with family-style serving pieces that invite sharing and make the meal feel more relaxed and communal. Mixing materials like wood, glass, and ceramic adds texture and warmth.

Dress the Table with Intention

Table linen rentals are one of the simplest ways to make a party feel special. Whether you go classic or playful, linens create visual cohesion and elevate even the most basic table setting.

• Keep it timeless with soft solids like Sage or a subtle neutral.
• Add energy with a trendy print like Celery Barocco Panama, which adds both color and pattern.
• Use textured or brightly colored napkins to create contrast or a pop of fun.

And don’t forget table linen rentals also include overlays, runners, and more—great for layering.

Build a Thoughtful Tablescape

A few intentional touches go a long way. We love the look of clear glass plates layered over a printed linen—it lets the fabric shine while keeping the setting clean and modern. Or opt for the elegant Lucia Dinner Plate paired with an Arlo Wood Charger for a soft, rustic look.

Glassware is another chance to add personality. Toast with Gatsby Coupe Glasses or keep things casual with Jupiter Beaded Glasses, which feel elevated but easy. Make sure you have plenty of wine glasses or goblets on hand, and consider a few extra vessels for cocktails, iced tea, or sparkling water.

Don’t Overcomplicate It

The best parties feel effortless, even if they’ve been carefully planned. Focus on the few elements that matter most to you. Maybe it’s creating a cozy dining experience, serving a favorite cocktail in beautiful glassware, or just having a table that looks pulled-together and polished. With a few key rentals for parties, you can skip the stress and focus on enjoying the celebration.
