              TABLE DECORATING CATEGORIES:
              1- Celebrate your business' birthday! Focus on the important milestones of your business, the year your dream came to life or the number of candles on your cake! What was significant about the year your business was founded? What has changed from the beginning until today? (Ideas: Then & Now displays, timelines, milestone markers, framed dates, number decor)
              2 - Choose an American icon: Statue of Liberty, Bald Eagle, Liberty Bell, American Flag, Uncle Sam, National Anthem, National Motto, National Tree, etc.               or just go all out with Red, White & Blue!
              3 - What does America mean to you? Choose a nostalgic or patriotic image or idea and showcase your business through that concept...baseball, hot dogs and apple pie; cowboys; freedom; strength; entrepreneurship; progress; perseverance, etc.

              TABLE DECORATING GUIDELINES:
              *We encourage you to keep the theme in mind while planning the decorations as well as creative ways to promote your business to event attendees.
              *Centerpieces must not be taller than 24 inches as to not interfere with guest’s view of the stage.
              *Please remember that since this is a dinner event, our guests will need to have room to eat.  Please leave a clear 12-inch path around the perimeter of the table for place settings.  You are welcome to incorporate your own napkins, chargers, and/or placemats, but those should be the only items within the outer 12 inches of the table.
              *Most table decorators provide their own tablecloth. If you need a tablecloth, please let us know as we will have a few extra black or white tablecloths on hand.
              *Many businesses choose to bring gift items to leave at each place for the guests to take home (to remind them of your business).
              *Please be clear in designating which items the guests can take and which decorations you want to keep.  We don’t advise the use of priceless décor on the tables, even if well marked.
              * If you plan to provide wine or other alcoholic beverage as a decoration/gift on your table, in addition to having a label on each bottle that clearly states MUST NOT BE CONSUMED ON SITE, each bottle must also be in a gift sack, clear box or clear plastic bag and sealed/tied closed at the top. Due to City Limits being a private club, TABC does not allow opening or consumption of any outside alcohol in the facility so they have asked us to make sure all bottles are labeled and enclosed.
              *If you have something that you want to light up or move, it must be battery-powered. No electricity will be available for any table decorations.
              *Please note that table decorating is an opportunity to promote your business or organization.
              *No political advertising will be allowed.
              Tables that seat 10 are 72 inches in diameter. (You will have 48 inches in diameter in the center of the table to decorate)
              Tables that seat 8 are 60 inches in diameter.  (You will have 36 inches in diameter in the center of the table to decorate)
