Party Guidance from Tied Ribbon

Hi Sugar Bee readers! I’m Katie from Tied Ribbon & I’m back again this month talking parties!

This time I want to talk about (what I consider) the 4 basics of party planning. These are the 4 main things I brainstorm for every party I throw.

1st: Invitations. A good invitation sets the mood for the guests before the party even begins. Fun, creative invitations don’t have be more work, just more fun!

2nd: Theme. Setting an overall theme of the party before picking out decorations, etc helps you keep the “big picture” in mind through the process. Pick & stick with it…color theme, sport, movie, or idea.

3rd: Backdrop/Decor. Obviously there’s a million ideas on pinterest, but picking even on wall of decor (such as behind a dessert table) can transform a room & continue the theme of the party. Keep in mind inexpensive items that can be made into gorgeous decor….paper & tissue paper are good examples.

4th: Dessert/Food Bar. Big or small, a dessert or food bar gives organization & another decor element to your party. Don’t stress out about achieving Martha Stewart perfection- your party won’t be photoshoot…but incorporating your party’s colors or theme add to overall party ambiance.
