7 Tips for Choosing NJS Design Event & Party Rentals Wedding Linens!
You ask a lot of brides what they dream of on their wedding day and wedding linens are rarely ever included. It’s always the dress, the venue, the flowers, etc. So we love it when brides understand how important a role linens play into their big day. Months down the road, guests may not remember what color napkins they wiped their mouth with or what color chair ties were on the seats.What will be remembered is how beautiful the room looked and felt when the entered it for the first time. And that’s the feeling that NJS Design Event & Party Rentals strives to achieve with each and every event! We’ve put together a list that hopefully can help turn the daunting task of choosing rental wedding linens
into a simple (and dare we say FUN!) process:
1. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute It always amazes us how often we get frantic phone calls from brides that are 1-2 weeks away from their wedding and haven’t thought about linens for their reception. By that time, the bride’s first choice for linens may already be rented out so they have to decide on an alternate. It’s very important to start making a decision on linens at least 6-8 months before the event date if possible. The sooner the better!
2. Know What You Need Before you contact a rental linen company, it’s important to get a count of all the tables and chairs that you’ll need linens for. Be sure to include gift tables, dj tables, buffet tables (if your caterer isn’t supplying these), guest and head tables and escort card tables. NJS Design Event & Party Rentals allows orders to be adjusted up/down until 2 weeks before the event, but it’s always better to be as prepared as you can. Last minute changes aren’t necessarily guaranteed with all companies.
the linen company you rent from is providing. If possible, try to get a swatch of the linen you are ordering. It may come in handy in future meetings with your dress shop or florist.. Most linen rental companies do offer swatches for free or a minimal cost. Don’t be afraid to ask. doing the setup of the reception area and taking it down after it ends. Usually this is a separate cost added onto the quote, but some brides assume it is included in the rental price.
