Decorating Tips
Color Scheme:
When using a color scheme use one or two main colors and
build around these. If you choose to use only one color for
your decorating, try to add little touches of another color
or a lighter or darker shade of the same color to create a
more pleasing effect. Adding little splashes of white,
black, gold or silver will not detract from your main color
choice, and the effect will be considerably more dramatic!
Bows
Tie huge bows across the top of each chair back. The bows
can be cut to any length, and even look great with tails
trailing on the floor. Make bows to hang anywhere and
everywhere…chairs, doorways, tree trunks, stair rails, deck
posts, gift packages, or table-ends. Gossamer is an
inexpensive alternative for making bows, rather than using
tulle or ribbon.
Balloons
Balloons can economically transform any room, backyard or
park into a festive space in a matter of minutes by using
some of the following ideas:
Use a
Helium Tank to fill balloons. Tie
Curling Ribbon to
balloons, and group them together. (Odd numbers look best:
3, 5, or 7) Place groupings of balloons around the party
room.
Tie a bunch of helium filled
12" Balloons to the birthday
child’s chair, or tie one to the back of each chair.
If you choose not to use helium, tie balloons to varying
lengths of curling ribbon, and hang balloons from the
ceiling, or from a light fixture over the party table.
Balloon arches are
ideal for photo backdrops, entryways, and to hi-light
different areas around your party room and are easy to make.
A column of balloons
will work much the same way that arches do, and can be used
for entryways, photo backdrop, or for a terrific splash of
color when placed at intervals around a party room. Top each
column with a
MUSIC NOTE BALLOON
Balloon swags
make the perfect accessory. They can be hung
across the ceiling of a tent, or a room with a high ceiling
like banquet halls or a gymnasium.
We offer some instructions on how to make:
Streamers
Streamers offer an economical way to splash lots of color
around the site of the party. Create a fun and colorful
effect by draping streamers from the center of the ceiling
to the walls on each side of the room, or between trees if
the party is being held outdoors. The streamers can be
twisted after they are anchored to a ceiling wall or table
for a more dimensional look. Two different colored streamers
can be placed back to back and twisted for a unique look.
They also look terrific hanging from doorframes or cascading
vertically down walls.
Table Decorations:
Setting a table with the
Glee Party-Ware, including the
tablecloth, cups, plates, napkins, and cutlery is the
fastest way to create a focal point in a room.
Add one or a few of the following touches to personalize
your table:
Create a centerpiece using a bunch of helium filled
12" Balloons tied with
curling ribbon. Attach them to a
Balloon Weight.
Display your birthday cake in the center of the table…the
kids will love the close up view!
GLEE LUNCHEON NAPKINS/16 can be laid out on a buffet table, or can be
displayed at each place setting. Place napkins in the center
of each place setting at an angle, or unfold them and place
them in glasses for a tall dramatic look. The napkins can
also be tied (and bundled with plastic cutlery) with a
multitude of items to match your theme. Try
Curling Ribbon,
Streamers, ric-rac or ribbon.
Bring color to the table via napkins. Give each person two
napkins slipped into one napkin ring. Use two different
colors, two coordinating patterns or one patterned and one
solid-colored napkin. A colorful setting can be achieved
with little effort this way
Party Food & Cake Ideas
As the excitement is so high at children’s birthday parties,
most children under the age of 10 will eat very little, and
the waste can be disheartening. If you are entertaining a
younger crowd, schedule your party during a time when
parents will not expect that their children will eat a
meal…and serve only cake, ice cream, and a few other
munchies such as popcorn, cheese balls, or grapes.
If you decide to serve a light meal, serve foods
like -- pizza by the
slice, nachos, burgers and fries, or soft pretzels.
- Serve easy to prepare
food.
- Name all the food and
beverages to match your theme.
- Display a Cake in the
center of the food table. The children will love the
close up view!
- Serve Sandwiches cut
into shapes with cookie cutters.
