It’s hard to miss the beautiful event set ups on Facebook and Instagram, but have you ever wondered who and what it takes to create such a memorable event?

Today we are chatting to Jo’s Signs by Design who share with us that they are “just one cog in the wheel of the party world”. Hear from them below about the important elements they can bring to any event along with some tips for your party styling and planning:

We print all things party for individuals wanting to create a unique DIY event and talented event stylists. From weddings to birthdays to christenings to baby showers to anything that’s worth celebrating, we have seen it all.

Although we’re a small piece of the party puzzle, we’ve got some tips to make your next party memorable.

First Impressions

The first thing your guests see at your event sets the tone for the entire party. Welcome signs are the perfect way to greet guests and give them an idea as to what the day holds.

Printed by us, this welcome sign was designed by Eve & Co Stationery, who also applied the gold foil for a  Sweet Heavenly Events and Party Hire event:

 

The Big Picture

There’s so much that goes into making the big picture look perfect, but when you take the time and effort to put things together, the end result will leave your guests stunned. Make sure your decor compliment each other!

Personality

Adding a personal touch to your event can make it go from good to great. Guests love when an event reflects the personality and taste of the loved one’s their celebrating. After all, they’re the ones that know you the best

This sign was printed by us for Mary Ronis Events and designed by Edge House Design:

 

Memories

A picture lasts forever and parties are the perfect place to snap those memories. Giving your guests something fun to take photos with will make your event stand out and allows for guests to interact and have a laugh. Personalised prop frames are the perfect way to leave a lasting impression.

 

 

Party planning can have its ups and downs, but if you remember these important elements when preparing for your next event, we assure you it’ll leave people talking.

What’s Love The Occasion’s top tips when planning a celebration?

• Keep it simple and plan ahead!
• Prepare party decorations a week or two before and plan food that can be prepped in advance.
• Do a practice run of your table (or draw a sketch so you have something to follow on the day).
• Set up as much as you can the day before.
• And most importantly, allow yourself plenty of time to get ready and have a moment to relax before your guests arrive!

Happy summer celebrating!

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow Birthday Party Supplies

A rainbow party theme has to be one of the brightest, happiest party themes for any age, wouldn’t you agree? There’s just something about so much colour that makes you smile, even on a gloomy day.

 

This is one theme you can’t go wrong with when coordinating your tableware and decorations – just think bright, bold colours and as much of it as you can find! Yes, your room may end up looking like a rainbow exploded, but that’s what we’re aiming for!

We’ve seen some gorgeous examples of rainbow party theme styling this year, and to help you save time finding all the bits and pieces you’ll need to bring it all together, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite items for you to simply click and add to cart. Your welcome!

 

So let’s get this party started – and remember to CLICK on any image to be taken to where you can purchase / order that partyware from!

 

Rainbow party invitations

Turn an ordinary day into a bright one when your guests open an invitation full of colour and the fun of a rainbow party to look forward to. Choose from preprinted or customised invitations and send them in brightly coloured envelopes filled with confetti for a n added surprise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow party decorations

Remember, we’re aiming for an explosion of colour, so think bold and don’t be shy. Alternatively, a table covered in a crisp white tablecloth will ensure your colourful treats and decorations shine bright, and doubles as a fluffy white cloud!

 

 

Love the concept of setting a rainbow dessert table against the black chalkboard look to make the colours really stand out!:

 

Recreate a rainbow party setting with these items to inspire you:

Rainbow party tableware

A rainbow explodes in my head when I think of how many table setting options this theme lends itself to! From cups and plates in bold primary colours, spread across the table and littered with confetti, to striped coordinated tableware on a crisp white table cloth – let your imagination go and get creative with this one. There is no such thing as too much colour!

Celebrate unwrapped: the beauty of balloons

When you have a large space to decorate and with limited time – balloons are the perfect option! They create a huge impact but are easy to setup once you have collected them from your balloon supplier. So they were the perfect decoration for the Celebrate conference day where we had less than 2 hours to decorate our lovely venue.

Balloon queen Michelle of Party Splendour worked alongside Shannon of Born to Party to create balloon magic at the venue  and today I am showcasing some of Michelles amazing work on the day of Celebrate as well as some of the new balloon trends and decor she has been creating in events around Sydney:

 

 

 

You can see here how the whole room was made beautiful through the gorgeous touches of balloon decor:

 

Here is more of a sample of the gorgeousness Michelle of Party Splendour has been creating around Sydney:

 

 

Balloon walls and arches have become a popular trend for dessert table backdrops:

 

 

 

I am also loving the orb balloons as seen here in rose gold mixed with confetti balloons!

 

 

Balloon hoops are another fun trend which make such a stunning decoration:

 

 

 

Party Splendor really can create balloon magic at your next event or kids party! You can speak to them about a particular arrangement or developing something unique and custom for you.

If you’re not in Sydney you can still shop from the Party Splendour website where you will find a range of partyware and balloons.

We were so grateful to have Party Splendour on board to help create such a lovely look and ambience to the venue for Celebrate and we highly recommend their services!
