Milk Sandwich & Winter Snow Party Time!

Here in the South, we don’t see much snow (when it snows), and when it falls, it’s usually a mess and no one wants to drive, so we all joke about stocking up on milk and bread before any winter weather comes our way.  Maybe we’re all planning on having PB&J sandwiches with a glass of milk while the roads are icy, or maybe we’re all planning on having Milk Sandwiches while we have snow parties at home (because schools and offices usually shut down at least for a few hours). We’ve also heard that the bags that sandwich loaves come in make excellent waterproofing agents to keep toes dry in that wet snow.

…All that said, we think it’s time to plan a Snow Party!…

A Snow themed party would be fun on a day when you’re huddled inside because it’s too cold to go out and play, or it would be a fun theme for a winter birthday party, baby shower, wedding shower, or company get-together. At Deborah’s, we’re always brainstorming fun party activities, so we figured this week, we’d help you out with some delicious milk and bread snacks and a few fun snow games.

Check out some of the great ideas we’ve found (and some we’ve tried!) to host your own Snow Party!




This White Hot Chocolate looks tasty (and we’re tempted to try it this weekend whether it snows or not!) With only 3 ingredients (that you may already have assuming you picked up some milk this week), it would be a quick, delicious, warm treat for kids and adults.

While we’re thinking about white chocolate (doesn’t it make you think of snow??), check out this White Chocolate Bread Pudding (handy recipe to have around in case you manage to get an extra loaf before it’s all sold out).

As you’re sipping on hot cocoa and your bread pudding is cooking, run outside and set a clean bowl on the deck so you can collect the main ingredient for this next recipe….SNOW CREAM. There are several varieties of snow cream recipes floating around, but this is one we’ve used in the past and we love!


We love this idea of stringing some cereal and raisins on some yarn and decorating trees outside.  The birds and squirrels will love you, and the kids will have fun decorating! (Bonus: You won’t have to un-decorate like you just did for Christmas!)

As always, the forecast has been changing as the weekend approaches, so it may turn out that we only get lots of cold rain.  In that case, here’s a fun way to make your own “snow”!
In fact, this would be a fun activity for kids (or the perfect decoration) for a snow-themed party! We’ve been compiling a few ideas on our Pinterest board…like this gorgeous ribbon and crystal chandelier we can create for a snow-themed party in a tent!



You could even set up a fun photo booth with a “snow” backdrop and some fun snow themed props and get your guests to upload their pictures to Snapchat with a custom Snapchat filter designed for your party or wedding!

Follow us on Pinterest!

Assuming we get the winter weather we’ve seen forecast this week, stay safe and stay warm! (And maybe set a bowl out tonight, just in case 🙂 ).

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!

How to Pick the Perfect Tent

So you need a tent?
You’ve come to the right place!
We offer over a variety of size and style combinations of tents, plus we have accessories available to make the tent as casual or elegant as you need. Are you looking for a small tent to provide some shade over a few chairs, or a large tent to create an outdoor dining room for a banquet? Either way, we’ve got you covered (literally!)
To dress up your tent, we have tent sides (with or without windows), leg drapes, ceiling liners, tent lighting, monogram lighting, and special effects. Take a look at some of othe other tents we’ve set up and decorated for inspiration for your next event!
We love elegant leg drapes and ceiling liners added to a tent!
Aren’t these cafe lights gorgeous?
There’s a tent for everything at this event, including our fun Midway Game Booths!
Those chandeliers are so dreamy and give this tent a feel of being indoors at a banquet hall.
You don’t want to chance your guests getting rained on at your wedding…

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?

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!


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!
