To get the crowd talking about your party for weeks, let’s see what you should be doing to help them, and you, to enjoy the gathering. The good news is, you don’t need to spend an exorbitant amount of money on it either.
Throwing a Budget Party
Have you figured out what the party will be? A birthday, anniversary, bridal shower, housewarming, or any other, would need some careful planning a couple of weeks beforehand. Let’s take the instance of having it at your own home. Having a rough idea of how many people you want to invite would be a good idea starting point, as would be the look and feel of the party.
Besides the above, you should also, keep your budget in front of you, leaving room for flexibility. How much will you be spending on items like decorations, catering, music and entertainment, tables and seating, and invitations?
The best way to decide is by rating them as the most and least important. We can help – decorations are a must and so are food and drinks. There is no joy in having a bland atmosphere and expecting people to have fun.
Decorations make a big impact on any space and you don’t need to spend too much money on it. Centerpieces such as vases can change the ordinary to the extraordinary. These simple, yet killer ideas we have for you below, might just save your day.
A few options for you to choose from:
Wood is Always A Winner: If there is anything that will impress guests, it is a great vase accompanied by just as great an arrangement of flowers. if you want to top that idea, go with vases with a flower design printed on them to wow anyone!
Look Up to Nature: The decorations don’t only need to be sitting on the tables, but you can also buy yourself a few Hanging Glass Terrarium Globes to change the look of the room to something more elegant. Your guests will be in awe and you can hang them high up on the ceiling using temporary hooks or add them as a permanent item in your house.
These stunning natural décor elements are fit for any sized space and don’t even cost that much. Grab a few from any wholesale flower online store and put them above the dining table or patio. Buying in bulk is a lot cheaper than buying individual pieces.
What’s more, you can get lovely hanging plants or succulents to add inside them, or if it’s an evening occasion, why not add some tea candles inside to create a warm ambiance?
Try Different Colors: Nowadays the trend of using mason jars has become so popular, that the majority of households use them for some use or the other. These are one of the best items you can recycle and reuse for almost any purpose, even for decorating.
If, however, you want something a little different, why not grab a few assorted colored mason jars from an online supplier to add something a bit out of the ordinary. Impressed? We thought so. Be adventurous and go crazy with blues, reds, pinks, purples, and yellows. These could also make great glasses at an adult’s birthday party!
One Made of Mirror: You probably know the concept of interior decorators adding mirrors to parts of a room to reflect light and make the room look brighter (and bigger)? Similar to this concept, using decoration items in and around the house that reflect light, can change an atmosphere from dull to lively and fun.
A great example when looking for a sheik and quirky table decorations for your party, you can go for a more modern-looking mirrored square glass cube, either gold or silver, or any other bright color. This will look stunning with some dried flowers inside. Not only your arrangement will shimmer but your guests will too.
Twisted Squares: Why stay conventional when you can go bold? Have you ever seen a Twisted Square Glass vase? If not, you should look into this to add some elegant, yet modern touch to your party décor. These are unique shapes and can hold almost any type of flower arrangement inside of them.
Always go with the ones made of good quality materials and sturdy, and you can try a few different ways to use them. Some of the things you can go for include, adding a single purple/black Lilly to them, or a bouquet of Hydrangea. You can also add some different colored fruits inside and layer them on top of each other right to the top – oranges, lemons and limes work best for this concept. Add layers of different sand, if you’ve got a beach themed occasion. Whatever you do with these, they will always look amazing because there is enough room to play with.
If you ever want to throw a party, no matter what the occasion, the décor is one of those fundamental aspects that can add an additional touch to any room or venue. There are tons of different items you can choose from, but keeping it simple and elegant is a great impression.
These types of items keep on giving and are a good investment too – Once your party is over, you can keep all or some of the vases and jars, and re-use them in and around your own home, or gift them to friends and family. It’s a win-win for all, including your budget!
