A party carries a lot of baggage, literally. Planning the party is just the tip of the iceberg, but you already know that, right? Whether it’s your son’s ultra awesome Star Wars themed fifth birthday party or your parent’s 35th anniversary, there is a lot to do before you get to the fun part, decorations!
Invitations, The Road To Decorations
It’s pretty universally understood that decorating a party is the best part of throwing a party. For most of us, the party itself can be full of stress. It’s a lot of running around and a lot switching of hats. Which is why if you’ve ever thrown a party you relish the idea of doing decorations. Wonderful decorations and good planning can help your party get off to the right start. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. The first item you need to check off your list for a successful party is choosing a theme. Without a theme chosen, it would be silly to send out invitations and without invitations; you wouldn’t have much of a party. Once the guest list is made, the theme chosen and a location is secured, it’s time to send out invitations and finally find some decorations. Event decorations in Watsonville shouldn’t be too difficult to find, there are a few really great party supply stores, so there’s no need to worry about where to go but what you’ll use is another story.
Renting Or Buying Decorations
Renting decorations in Watsonville can be much more cost effective than buying them depending on the kind of shindig you’re throwing. A Star Wars themed birthday, for instance, will probably call for some party favors, disposable tablecloths and a lot of light sabers, which unfortunately can’t be rented. Linen tablecloths, centerpieces, beverage servers, food warmers and dance floors and staging for a graduation party or anniversary, on the other hand, call for rentals. While beverage servers and food warmers may not technically fall under decorations, they do pull their weight at any major get together and should be planned for in the decorating part of your process. Your guests’ first impression of the party will set the initial tone of your party. Intrigued and excited guests will help smooth initial awkwardness of a early party jitters and give you plenty of time to take care of some last minute changes (there is always something!). Thoughtful planning, careful decorations and sticking to a theme are three great ways to throw a fun and memorable party. And finding a reliable party supply store is a big help too!
