Four Must-Haves for a Perfect outdoor Winter Wedding

It may be getting colder outside, but you can still have an outdoor party and stay warm! Today we’re sharing our four favorite ways to keep your wedding or party from having a chill when it’s sweater weather.

1
Tent….With “Walls”!
These are PERFECT for keeping the icy wind off the dance floor.
Tent sides can be solid or have windows to let in extra light.
 

2
Patio Heaters!
They keep you warm and add to the decor, a win-win if you ask us. If you’re looking for something a little different, a fire pit would be another way to warm up your winter wedding.
3
Warm Food & Drink!
Whether you have a buffet or a sit-down meal, we can help you set up the perfect crowd-pleasing dishes to warm your guests from the inside-out. We have all the tables, linens, plates, and serving equipment you’ll need for your warm winter event. Think of some of the fun winter dishes you could have….a baked potato bar, a coffee or hot cocoa station, a sampling of soups for an appetizer at a seated dinner…

4
Dance Floor!
What better way for your friends and family to keep warm than to DANCE to some great music? Depending on the size of your party, you might only need an 8×8 dance floor…or maybe you need a 16×20 dance floor! Regardless of the size, it’s sure to be a hit.



Tables and Chairs and Linens (Oh My!)

Every party needs seating right? (And if it doesn’t need seating, we have cocktail tables for standing).
Check out this quick guide we’ve put together comparing our most popular table and chair rentals!

A Not-So-Traditional Menu for Thanksgiving

Maybe it’s just us, but did Thanksgiving sneak up on you this year? If so, we’re here to help with your menu!
We’ve compiled some fun recipes that are spins on traditional Thanksgiving dishes so that whether you’re cooking the entire dinner for family and friends or if you’re signed up to bring dessert, you’ll have something delicious to share.
Check out this tasty menu we’ve put together:
Cooking on the Weekends
This would be acceptable at any party, right? Why limit this turkey to just the end of November?
Plain Chicken
This recipe adds one simple ingredient to an otherwise “regular” casserole…and it looks delicious!
CincyShopper
Can you imagine how wonderful your kitchen house would smell if you made this?
Lemon Tree Dwelling
There are so many delicious variations of macaroni and cheese…but this one is loaded with extra flavor! And yes, even though it looks like potatoes, that really is mac & cheese!
We can’t wait to try this recipe soon…
For Dressing and Cranberry in one, check out
Carlsbad Cravings
We love a delicious traditional dressing (who doesn’t?), but doesn’t this one sound extra savory?
 
Tablespoon
We speak from experience when we say, “Don’t expect there to be many (or any…) leftovers if you make these miniature sweet and tart bites! (Also, they are best right out of the oven after the brie has cooled…but also delicious after being in the fridge). If you can’t find the rolled puff pastry, canned crescent rolls cut in half also work!
Dole
This sweet & tangy drink will be loved by everyone at your party! If you want it a little sweeter, increase the pineapple juice and decrease the cranberry juice.
Last but not least…..dessert. 🙂 We couldn’t pick just one (so we didn’t 😉 ).
Home Made Interest
If you don’t think this looks delicious, we’re sure that the person you sit next to at dinner would be more than happy to eat your portion for you. Such a fun twist (no pun intended) on a classic pecan pie!
Pecan pie filling rolled into a light sponge cake make this pecan pie cake roll a perfect Thanksgiving dessert.
Now that you know what you’re making for your dinner party this week, do you need some extra seating? If so, give us a call and we’ll make sure everyone at your party has a place to relax while they dig into that bacon wrapped turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We’re so thankful for our customers who are like family to us and we hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family this week.

Free Fall Printables to Accent Your Party

With Fall officially underway (although the temperatures haven’t been reflecting that this week…), we thought it would be fun to showcase some free Fall printables and give you some ideas for how you could use them at your wedding, corporate event, party, or just in your home or office decor!

Check out this classic leaf print from A Night Owl Blog. Wouldn’t it be perfect as an accent piece on a sign-in table at a wedding, or framed on your mantle at home?

from A Night Owl Blog
Print out these signs and put them in frames surrounded by floating candles or a flower arrangement and you have a nice Autumn centerpiece at the tables for your corporate dinner under one of the tents we have available to rent!

from Tatertots and Jello 
This whimsical word art would be a fun way to have guests at your get together sign in (and write what they’re thankful for!) around the border, then frame later OR print out a smaller version for a mini office desk frame to brighten up your workspace.


We love the mention of cozy sweaters in this print by Pitter and Glink! (Maybe this time next week, we’ll all be able to unpack our cozy sweaters to wear!) This would be a sweet print to have on display at a pumpkin or fall themed shower, or how about frame it to display on a table with coffee and pumpkin spice creamer at your fall wedding reception?

Can’t you just smell the leaves in the air and the bonfire and apple cider now?
It’s like love is in the air. 🙂


Of course, if you’re looking for more fall-inspired ideas for your next party, check out our Pinterest boards for inspiration, then give us a call and we’ll help you put everything together so all you have to do is sit back and drink your pumpkin latte!


Pumpkins, Leaves, Sweaters, Football, Lattes …. and Festivals!

Aren’t there so many wonderful things that show up around the same time that the leaves begin to fall? Everyone around town starts to sport their favorite team colors on a sweater while stomping through leaves to their favorite coffee shop to savor a hot latte topped with cinnamon (iced coffees are great, but we’ve been enjoying those all summer).

We love every one of these little signs of fall, our favorite part about the changing season… is the upcoming Fall Festivals!


We’re well known for having an exciting assortment of moonwalks for kids of all ages – from toddlers to “kids at heart” – but did you know that we also have concessions rentals so that you can have delicious snacks at your trunk or treat? Our popcorn machine or our cotton candy machine would make the perfect sweet or salty treats at any cool weather event! We even provide the supplies you’ll need to serve them (one less thing to remember at the store, right? Besides, you’ll need the extra room in the shopping cart for candy corn…)



If you’re planning to have a carnival style Fall Festival, check out the fun Carnival games we have for rent including Skeeball, High Striker, or our Inflatable 3 in 1 Carnival Game.


 If you need prizes to give away to game winners, let us know and we can help you get those at a great deal as well.

October is a busy month (everyone must love fall festivals as much as we do!), and a lot of these fun attractions are rented quickly….so give us a call today so we can help you plan the PERFECT family event for your church, school, or work group while Fall is fresh on your mind.

Happy First Day of Fall!

The Perfect Tent for Your Next Special Occasion

They provide shade when it’s too sunny, can create walls to keep the heat in and rain out, they can showcase beautiful lighting and floral decor and are a must when planning an outdoor event. Tents can make your outdoor event of any size run seamlessly for you and your guests.



Tent rentals come in all shapes and sizes and can be dressed up or down to suit your event needs. Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding hosting 700 guests, a corporate event for 15,000 or a company picnic for 50, a tent can go along way in protecting what you’ve already invested in food/beverage and decor.



When you rent a tent from Debs Party Rentals, we’ll have it set up long before your other vendors need access to install their portion of the job, and we’ll be back to breakdown when your guests have said their goodbyes. Call today for a quote for your upcoming party.



No job is too big or too small. Don’t let rain in the forecast ruin your neighborhood barbecue. Reserve a tent from Debs Party Rentals rather than rescheduling the fun. Our tents are made to keep the weather out and the fun in.  It it’s too hot out, we can set up an air conditioning unit to keep your guests cool and comfortable.  Want to get married outside in August?  No problem! 



Maybe you’re looking for a unique way to change the look of your favorite event venue. When you rent a tent from Debs Party Rentals, the sky is the limit as far the look you wish to create. Setting up a tent at your event creates an additional room for added space and separate functions. For example, you may plan an outdoor wedding and set your chairs for the ceremony in one area, then create an entirely different feeling space under the tent for your reception.



As you can see, a tent is an absolute must when planning a successful outdoor event. You’ll impress your guests with your planning and design with a tent rented from Debs Party Rentals. Call today!
