Summer Event Planning: Start Here!
Summer calls for graduation parties, pool parties, birthday parties, bridal showers… all kinds of backyard soirees and social events! The tone is often more casual, the locations smaller, and you can make a bigger impact with less rentals. Because your wishlist might be smaller during these months, we’ve compiled a list of summer fun party rentals to consider first.

Our Summer Party Rentals in Austin
Customized Photo Op | A Summer (Grad or Baby or Engagement) Party Necessity!
Investing in a photo op for your party means that people will go home with pictures to remember it by forever. This is especially important for special occasions like graduation parties and birthday parties. Customize one of our backdrops with a graduate’s school colors or custom vinyl that matches a party theme.
For Texas grads, snag our our Texas Wall (branded with school colors and grad’s name, of course). Hosting a bridal shower? Our Heart Wall is a fun addition and perfect present opening backdrop for the mom-to-be.

Backyard Bar | Essential For an Outdoor Party
Aside from a full-service bar, you can also use our bar inventory as a DJ booth or just a display table for food and self-serve drinks. Use a bright-colored bar, like our After Eight Bar, to spice up your space. A pop of color can really elevate your backyard party.
Or, consider the customized rental route with a custom-color bar. Personalize it with paint in school colors for a graduation party to match your photo op, or add vinyl lettering or a pattern for a birthday or baby shower.

Outdoor Lounge | Summer Fun Party Rentals
A nice, big lounge gives your guests a place to gather and enjoy cocktails and conversation. Start with our Beach Club or Palm Springs collections, depending on your party vibe.
Texas summer party tip: place your lounge in the shade so guests can actually enjoy it outdoors. If possible, an indoor/outdoor situation is ideal for parties in the middle of the summer so your guests can get some reprieve from the heat!

Cocktail Tables | Perfect for Summer Hosting
A really easy way to turn a lawn into a party is by scattering cocktail tables across it. High tables foster mixing and mingling to keep your party lively and by placing tables in certain areas, you’re telling guests where to gather. If you want a more “mix and mingle” vibe, opt for no chairs to keep people standing and moving around. If you want people to sit and stay a while, add bar stools.

Picnic Tables | Casual Dining Setup for Outdoor Parties
This one feels obvious but we have to remind you that picnic tables and benches are great for summer hosting! Our Grant Table & Bench Set takes care of both your table and chair needs in one. They’re also pretty enough that you don’t need to worry about tablecloths—just add a few bud vases and you’re good to go!
Low Dining Vibes | Summer Party Rentals
We love a picnic situation for a kids birthday party, a bridal shower, or just a casual backyard dinner party. Surround a table like our Reposado Low Dining Table with rugs and pillows. With our large selection of rugs and pillows, you can customize this setup to fit with any theme! Planning a UT graduation party? Consider our brand new Orange Peel Rug for this setup.
Whether you’re planning an Austin graduation party, summer birthday party, backyard bridal shower, or a laid-back dinner party, consider these rentals first! The right selections and summer fun party rentals can go a long way when planning a smaller, private party.
