Decorating for the party – take note of these

Party decorations are a very important part of the atmosphere and impact of a party. If you have the time, imagination and a bit of handicraft skills, you can create a very impressive decoration all by yourself. Even of these three, only two are really essential, as Google can make up for a lack of imagination. Just put “decorating ideas”, “decoration ideas” or “DIY decorations” in the search box and let the image search take you there.

However, if you either lack the time or the manual skills, it may be a better option to have a professional decorator do it for you. Often, you will receive the decoration design and implementation as a complete service. You can tell the decorator the theme of your party, the budget for the decorations, the size of the party space and the equipment, and then just enjoy the ease of having the expert get their ideas rolling and you get to step into the finished space with the rest of the guests. Other essential information for the decorator includes the age range of the party, the number of guests, the evening’s programme, the dress code and the catering. The decorations should support and reinforce the atmosphere of the event and the values and brand of the organiser.

Party decorations as a seamless part of the overall event – sustainably

Good decoration never interferes with the programme of the event, the view of the performances, the serving of food or the access routes. Well-designed and executed decorations are also not unduly challenging to set up or take down, because a professional decorator understands the importance of staff costs in setting up and taking down the event. Good decorations also do not create extra clutter in the party space and should not, under any circumstances, cause any kind of hazard.

A responsible event organiser will also consider the sustainability of their party decorations. Forget about disposable, cheap and disposable decorations. Choose materials that are recyclable or products that can be reused. If you can’t store decorations for your own continued use, take advantage of rental products. Forget cheap, disposable products, especially if they are even ordered from afar just for this one occasion. Instead, invest in sustainable, long-lasting quality, good design and local products.

It’s worth thinking about the size of the decorations. In a large party space, small, painstaking details can easily go unnoticed and are not enough to create enough impact and wow factor. However, they take a considerable amount of time to make, transport, set up and take down, so it’s worth considering whether the benefit is worth it. For a large space, on the other hand, large, simple decorations can be a great option. Alternatively, consider having groups of decorations in the space rather than trying to cram the whole space full of quilt decorations.

Nothing but joy, wide eyes and the joy of doing!
