Holiday Fan Napkin Fold


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Only a month left until Christmas!!! YAY!


I've been searching far and wide for unique- but easy- napkin folds for our new tablescapes in our showroom. I came up with one that I thought was elegant and classy, yet simple enough for me to do by myself. Here are the quick and easy steps:


1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.


2. Fold the napkin in half and re-open it, leaving a crease in the center.


3. Accordion-fold the napkin up the crease, ensuring that the final fold rests nicely on the crease. This will help keep the fan folds uniform.


4. Finish accordion-folding the napkin, then fold in half.


5. Insert the folded napkin into a napkin ring, or tie it will ribbon as I did. Then I added a dyed piece of branch and placed it on top for a nice wintery look!

Holiday Table Decoration Tips


Before you begin decorating your tables for the holidays, you should measure the tables in order to get the accurate sizes for the linens. Not only measure the length, but measure the width as well, especially if you're planning to use a table runner. There are different sizes that will fall at different lengths on the table. Some go half way down and others will touch the floor. Another helpful hint- don't forget to measure the leaf if you're planning on adding additional guests.

Holidays can be expensive enough as it is! Make sure to check for things you may already have or things that you can get creative with. If you're planning on having an adult-only feast then you can count on little or no casualties, so you can splurge and go with the more expensive linens. If there will be kids at the table, you should consider using disposable linens or ones that won't break the bank trying to clean. Save yourself the hassle of using the expensive china as well!

Making simple yet elegant centerpieces is a fun and easy way to save money during the holidays. Searching online for ideas can help get your creative juices flowing. All you need to do is figure out what color scheme you want to use and everything will fall into place. Give us a call for any table, chairs, or linen needs! Let us ACE your next event.

Thanksgiving Quotes


While you're chatting with family over the Holidays and sharing stories of thanks, I thought you might take a moment to really listen to what others are thankful for. Most people are thankful that time seems to almost stop so that everyone could get together and stuff themselves with a wonderful meal. Others are thankful for the beautiful tables and linens that Ace Party Rental have provided for them (hehe). That's why I've decided to take a moment and list a few quotes about Thanksgiving that I really like.

Each year I am thankful for something new that I was not aware of the year before. Whether it be a physical item, or an emotion, or a new friend, there is always something that I am grateful for. I wish I took more time to really "give thanks" to those I love. Therefore I have vowed to do so this Thanksgiving. After reading and rereading a few of the quotes I'm about to list below, I realized that I'm blessed in more ways than meets the eye. I hope this makes you feel good too and you have something to be grateful for!

"We give thanks to unknown blessings already on their way" - unknown

"Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants" -Kevin James

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it" -William Arthur Ward

"If you're not thankful for what you've already got; it's highly unlikely you'll be thankful for what you're going to get" -unknown

"He who does not thank for little will not thank for much" - unknown proverb

Graduation Parties


Next spring I will be attending a few different graduation parties- ranging from high school to graduate school and I'm already looking forward to planning a few of them for my friends. One of my friends will be graduating from nursing school and my cousin will be graduating from Carmel high school. Both will more than likely require a little pre-planning thought. Little do they know, I've already been 'googling' ideas and tablescapes.
I came across a few ideas that I really liked
and wanted to share with you all.

By the time graduation rolls around, most high schoolers will know where they're planning on going to college. Embrace their decision and plan the party theme around that of that school. You can make your own banners by cutting out block letters and hanging the sign with the school name on display. Coordinating the school colors with the theme of the party, as well as hanging neat photos of campus, will allow the guests to become familiarized with that particular school (especially if it's out of state).

Since most graduations are held during the Spring, outdoor graduation parties are very popular and super easy to plan. Ace Party Rental has all your outdoor needs such as tents, tables, chairs, linens, frozen drink machines, etc. The list goes on! Having an intimate BBQ style buffet is a yummy way to feed your guests while retaining the casual atmosphere. There's nothing better than catching up with friends and watching someone embark on a new chapter in their life. Let us help plan your party and we'll take care of everything!
