party planning tips: Start the Party Early...just for you

Setting up for a party can take some time.  Not to mention you need to look presentable yourself.  So here's a tip - pretend that the party starts earlier than it does.  If you give yourself a goal to be ready half an hour before the guests arrive it will leave you time to deal with unexpected delays and let's you relax for a minute.

No matter how well you plan, it's not uncommon to have something surprise you while you're setting up for a party of any kind.  You may have forgotten something, something might break, or maybe you're stuck in traffic on the way to the venue.  These kinds of things cause stress, but will cause less stress if you know you have a 30 minute buffer.

Even if your setup and preparations go flawlessly you'll still enjoy the extra time to kick back and relax before your guests arrive.  A calm and relaxed host is going to have (and be) more fun than a frazzled mess of a person.  And the best hosts want to enjoy the party as much as their guests, right? 

Using party printables is a good way to prepare for a party in advance.  You can have them printed and cut well before the day of the party, making set up a breeze.  Check out our shop to see if our printables can help make your next party a success!

Party Planning Tips: Choose a Theme

With so many party options available it's easy to get overwhelmed.  So the first step you should always consider when planning any kind of event is picking a theme.

Party themes don't have to be cheesy.

It's easy to decide on a child's party theme; just ask them what they like and go with that.  But what if you need to plan a swanky get together?  Deciding on a theme will help pull things together and making decisions about decor, food, music, etc, will be so much easier along the way.

Here are some ways to pinpoint the perfect party theme:

• color palette - you'd be surprised at what the right colors can do for you

• seasons - it doesn't need to be summer to have a indoor garden party or beach themed dance party

• favorite characters - this one is pretty obvious, and can probably apply to any child with a television

• travel locations - Parisian party anyone?

Party themes don't have to be expensive.

If it's in your budget then go all out for your party.  But how many of us have unlimited funds to throw the party of our dreams?  And just because you have settled on a theme doesn't mean you have to sell a kidney to accomplish it.

Here are some things to consider while purchasing themed party supplies:

• Printables are a cheap way to cover your bases.  You can print as many as you need, and get creative with their application when you don't have much else to decorate with.

• Snacks can double as decor.  When you plan snacks on the theme, you can worry less about how you adorn it.

• Pick your top five most important party items, and only buy themed supplies for those.  Whether it's invitations, a cake, decorations, or goodie bags - if your key elements are on theme you can be more relaxed about the rest.
