Ah! Winter, the party season is here. The cold chilly weather is the perfect time to throw some parties. You can dance as much as you want and you are not going to get sweaty quickly. Hot chocolate will keep the kiddos warm, and Brandy will do the work for you. What a season!
However, the biggest concern is the party decoration, and you must be thinking that it will cost you a lot and it is also time-consuming, umm, it won't unless you want to do something high-end. Still, hey parties are all about your favorite people under the same roof, having food and drinks and dancing on the latest beat it doesn't matter whether the wine brand is the high end of its just beer. But don't worry, I'm here to help you out.
10 for 10.
First of all, it is always fun when you are prepping your house for a party with a few of your friends. You will agree and then disagree over party decorations, but in the end, it is all fun.
So here are 10 party decors that you can do in 10 minutes (and is quite cheap *wink wink*)
1. Balloons.
In your brain balloons might scream an 8-year-old kid's birthday party but no, balloons are always fun. Balloons are the superior of party decoration, they are essentials, and they are always easily available. Even if you end up getting tacky color balloons, you can make them fun by drawing on them. Hang the balloons on the wall or leave them on the floor anyway it looks great.
2. Chalkboard.
It is 6:50, and your guest will start arriving from 7:00, and you are already biting your nails off because something in the decoration is missing and it is too bland? I know exactly what you need, a chalkboard decoration. Pull out the old chalkboard from the storeroom and write something on it. You can do silly artworks or write something fun, or you can even keep it near the kitchen with the menu written on it.
3. Crafts Cups.
Honestly, the easiest way to put a party decoration at the last minute is to get crafty. Get your colorful markers and get those plain boring cups; it is time for their makeover. You can paste googly eyes or small pom-poms as well. Serve them, or you can use them as actual decorations, paste them on the wall or be creative.
4. Confetti.
One of the most exciting things about parties is confetti, they are just a piece of papers, but they somehow manage to double the fun.This is one thing you can do under ten minutes, DIY your confetti, all you need is colorful papers and scissors, and you know what even dried petals of old flowers work too.
5. Flowers.
Something easily available everywhere. Flowers not only make the surrounding look pretty, but it even smells good. You can put the flowers in the middle of the table, or you can beautifully hang them on the wall with the help of a large twig or strings.And, if you have two-three people helping you out with the decoration, then you can quickly make a flower wall.
6. Colorful Paper.
You can do so much with just colorful papers (scissors, glue, and tape, of course!).
7. Fairy Lights.
Let the light guide your way out of the darkness. Just bring out those Diwali/Christmas decorations.
8. Food Decoration.
I know food is a necessity, but food comes under decoration as well. Honestly, it is more about the presentation. You cannot display a messy table to your guest or an uneven frosting on the cake!
It is better to serve with lots of tiny cupcakes than a huge cake (Unless it is a wedding or a birthday, but whatever you want). Decorate the cupcakes in an orderly fashion so that it looks. Decorate the dining table well.
8. Washi Tape.
Washi tape is another easy party decoration. All you need is washi tapes and scissors. You can paste them on the walls, wrap them around the glasses or spoons. It looks pretty.
9. Snack Bags.
Again, table decoration is important. DIY your snack bags, they will be a good decoration as well as pretty helpful for the guests to carry the snacks around.
10 Bonus Ideas.
Besides the decoration, there are a lot of other things that make your guests remember your party and especially what an amazing host you are! So here are a few bonus points to remember so that people always get excited when they hear that you are throwing a party.
1. Be polite and smile. You are the host remember that.
2. Buy a balloon pumper. Trust me; it is an investment.
3. Plan the food and drink menu before anything else.
4. Don't go overboard with the confetti.
5. If you want to make it more popping then be creative with the balloons. Hang them up or paste them in a creative pattern.
6. You can use leaves or twigs in place of the flower.
7. Make a DIY station for your guest; it will keep your guest entertained.
8. Make a photo booth.
9. Make a karaoke stage for your guests. Karaoke is always fun.
10. Play a drinking game. Party games are always fun.
Conclusion.
Listen, throwing a house party is a huge responsibility, especially when you are the host. There are chances that you won't be able to enjoy your party because you will be busy hosting and monitoring drunk people and then comes the after-party clean up. So don't make an impulsive decision and throw a party, make sure you want to take all the responsibilities.
I hope you throw a great party and unnecessary people don't show up. Have fun!
