Your choice of party decorations can be a direct factor in the atmosphere and mood of your festive events. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, a birthday, anniversary, or a major holiday, your event decor should visually represent the theme of the event to help maintain an almost subconscious “feel” for your theme. If your previous parties seemed lackluster despite great refreshments and welcome guests, you may be lacking the party supplies needed to set the right atmosphere. A few small, inexpensive upgrades can spice up your events and turn what looks like a gathering into a true celebration.
Topics – Most parties start with a theme like Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or “Happy Birthday.” Of course, you’ll want to choose your party decorations accordingly, but what if your party doesn’t have a specific theme? Create a theme! Something as simple as a color can help to brighten the room (and the atmosphere) much more effectively than the typical white linen service. Consider adding brightly colored party decorations to create a “color scheme” for an unthemed event.
Tablecloths, Plates and Napkins – Choose the appropriate theme party supplies that correspond to your event. For Valentine’s Day, a few red tablecloths with hearts or Cupid prints can do wonders to bring a romantic atmosphere to any gathering. Go a step further with matching plates, cups, and napkins, and your guests can carry the idea with them throughout the event.
banners and balloons – No matter what your party theme is, helium-filled balloons and custom (or factory) designed banners are a great way to create a full festive celebration effect. Oversized “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” banners are ideal party decorations to recognize the guest of honor while covering empty wall space in an entertaining way. A couple dozen balloons that float freely around the place or sit on the table add an extra decorative touch.
party favors – It’s always a good idea to have some kind of party favors, such as gift bags or disposable “table cameras”, but for a children’s party, favors are a must. Keeping a good supply of kazoos, noisemakers, pointy hats, mini-puzzles, coloring books, and crayons on hand at your child’s event can help those restless little rascals get bored and disgruntled.
No matter what type of event you are hosting, the right party supplies and decorations can positively complement your party atmosphere and enhance the enjoyment of your guests.
