This first decorating setup really creates charm at your event but is also stunning for a photo shoot. Float helium balloons or confetti balloons behind your party table or as a photo background. This setup works for both birthdays and wedding photo shoots and creates an enchanting whimsical effect!

This is an easy yet striking balloon decorating option and the best part is no helium is needed- use a hand pump to inflate your balloons and then pin or tape them to the ceiling upside down in rows or randomly in a large bunch over the party table! This is such a effortless idea that will easily become the main focal point of any party.

Welcome your guests at your party by creating a dramatic escalating walkway of balloons leading to the front door.

Construct a balloon backdrop by covering an entire wall with balloons. This would look stunning behind a dessert bar or even as a photo booth background.

Give each party guest a balloon to take home by tying a helium balloon to each chair back.

Balloon animals! Use tissue paper and double sided tape to add cute faces to the balloons and the light tissue paper won’t weight down the balloons.

This is a festive wall decoration for Halloween but any shape could certainly be created with balloons for any party theme too.

Clear balloons with confetti or glitter are all the rage right now! Add balloon tassel streamers or tassel tails for an extra added touch to your balloons too.

Ice cream cone balloons! A sweet idea for any party, especially over the dessert table or behind an ice cream party table- for quick diy, use party hats turned upside down with some double-sided tape on the inside and insert your balloons.

A creative balloon decoration idea for a girl’s party are these easy to make flower Balloons! I love the idea of hanging them outside or attaching them to a fence. You can also stake them in the garden. See the how to- HERE

Trending Party Decorations For 2018

March 16, 2018

The one trend that is huge in 2018 for parties and weddings is balloons. Today I am sharing what’s new in all my shops for the Easter season but also so many other great decorations for birthday parties and weddings for this year.

Be sure to scroll below for all the new items available in my shops.

So of course balloons have always been a traditional decoration at birthday parties but this year the key to adding balloons to your next event is in creative set up and balloon styling and also finishing them with balloon tails and streamers.

Instead of balloons as an added decoration- they have become the feature of the party and the entire backdrop, like this set up above. This balloon design was created with a balloon arch kit. You can pick these arches up at most local party stores but if you are going for something this big – I highly recommend hiring an event planner. They have the know how and the skills to set this up and help you pull off a stunning event.

TISSUE TASSELS and tassel garlands are also still in style this year!

Also if you missed last week’s post about trending giant paper flowers used to create stunning backdrops and photo backgrounds, click here to see it – FLOWER BACKDROP IDEAS

Balloons are not only popular at birthday parties and baby showers – they are making a come back at bridal showers and weddings as well. Most are used for backdrops around the cake serving table or other food tables at the reception but also they are trending for photo backgrounds for the indoor and outdoor weddings as a fun activity for all the wedding guests to participate. Balloons at weddings should have a more elaborate and elegant design staging.

Since balloons are hugely popular this year, I have added many new balloons – marble balloons and giant size balloons are hot right now and I now offer all kinds of balloon tails, balloons streamers and finishes designs for balloons. Click here for all my balloon options in my shop – BALLOONS

Vintage Tea Party Bridal Shower

February 16, 2018

Bridal Shower In Vintage Tea Party Theme

If you are planning a bridal shower in the near future- I have the perfect shower theme to inspire you. The vintage tea party theme is trending right now for bridal showers. It’s classic and sophisticated. Plus all the ladies can dress up and you can encourage all the guests to wear a big hat for the shower. Make it a true soiree with requested dress attire – you could even provide a box of vintage found hats for the guests to wear. Today, I am featuring some amazing tea party tablescapes.

This is a fairly easy bridal shower theme to put together. To keep it under budget- ask around to see if you can borrow a family member’s vintage china or visit a thrift store and buy a mash up of old tea cups and saucers. Yep, a mix and match of china is absolutely fine for this set up and would even look stunning. Add in some vintage mason jars and vintage or new decorative tea pots for your flower vases.

To get the look of the vintage tea party you will want plenty of flowers and most set ups feature fresh roses in light pink and white and accents of baby’s breath.

Although, you can still pull off the look with silk flowers as well. This shower above features silks glued around a painted decorative wood picture frame and it looks just as beautiful as fresh flowers. Add in some elements of gold with gold candlesticks or gold plated utensils and of course don’t forget to drape pearls here and there.

Lace is a must for this theme. Use it as bunting, for your tablecloth and even draped it across frames and as a table backdrop. If you can’t find vintage lace linens- there is no shortage of new table linens in lacy patterns and designs – you can even use curtains in sheer lace fabric. Paper doilies on all your plates will look so shabby chic too. Most tea parties feature a sweets table but I recommend offering some healthy options too- such as strawberries and raspberries.

Ask the bride for some old photos of herself and the groom, either growing up as kids or the two of them together, and use them at the event. Black and white is best (color photos can be professionally transitioned to black and white- or you can even photocopy color photos in black and white) and they can be added to picture frames or even hang them up as a bunting.

One last tip for the shower- bring in a bit of violet color in your flowers or shower decor. This year’s color pick by Pantone is Ultra Violet and the tea party theme is perfect for adding in this shade of color. Be sure to spend some time asking the bride about her likes and dislikes for food and decor as well. Add in a personal touch and surprise her. Maybe she loves daisies or strawberry shortcake and would love that you remembered this and included it at her shower.

Come back next week to the The Party Fetti website – I will be featuring big balloons for weddings and for amazing photo shoot ideas!

Pinwheels & Party Ideas

July 25, 2017

PINWHEELS & PARTY IDEAS

Great News! I just added hundreds of Ready To Ship Pinwheels to my shop! So many fun and colorful summery patterns now available. Plus I have many more sets coming in the next week.

Pinwheels are perfect at any event, celebration or party and my solid color pinwheels coordinate to any themed birthday or baby shower perfect.

Just request your custom colors from my shop- HERE

Pinwheels are perfect as a garland hanging on the wall behind the party table wall or draped across the front of the party table.

Pinwheels were cleverly incorporated as favors but still as part of the party table background at this butterflies and pinwheels party. How fun and easy to create!

Pinwheels are also ideal as table centerpieces – add them to vases or recycled bottles.

Pinwheels are also perfect as wedding decorations- use them as table number signs or as escort cards. Give one to each of your guests at the reception check-in with their table number in the center of each pinwheel and then each guest can take a pinwheel home as a memorable keepsake from your wedding day.

I offer many more pinwheel options in my wedding shop- I DO Wedding & Bridal Designs

Pinwheels are so fun on cakes and cupcakes too as toppers!

Polka dots and pinwheels just go together perfectly!

Pinwheels and the beach go together for so much fun too.

Solid and pattern pinwheels in all sizes are available in my shop – PINWHEEL PRETTIES

Party Table Backdrops & Backgrounds

June 1, 2017

PARTY TABLE BACKDROPS AND BACKGROUNDS

Today is a roundup of inspiration for party table backdrops and backgrounds. These tablescapes should give you some ideas for setting up your dessert or food table at your next party. Let’s get started with this adorable ladybug party. How creative are those honeycomb balls with added punched black paper circles made into the ladybug head and antennae and the ladybug spots. So cute! Ladybugs are a perfect theme for a summer party too!

This background is a giant printed graphic poster just added to an even larger fabric covered board. I love this idea, but the printing cost may get a little pricey. Another alternative that would cost less is the fabric covered board below with a small framed birthday sign or letter banner centered in the middle.

I love that they used part of the green vinyl tablecloth as a valance topper at the top of the fabric background. The polka dot balloons in a small bouquet create a balanced height at each side too.

Confetti balloons are all the rage- and just two flanking the back sides of each end of the table create a stunning background with height! The added floor length balloon tissue tassel garland add a finishing touch.

This bride has simple giant white balloons arranged in an arch with added greenery and florals for a beautiful, yet neutral, photo background.

Paper fans on the wall are always an easy go-to for a party table background- but they can be dressed up with custom cut designs available in The Party Fetti Shop.

A mix of all sizes of pinwheels are so whimsical and super easy to create a party table background. So easy to create this random arrangement on the wall. Create your own with pinwheels from Pinwheel Pretties.

Last are two entirely simple diy backdrops made with crepe paper streamers. The added tissue fan above, for the sun, is adorable. The rainbow streamer backdrop below is so easy too! Seven bright strips of crepe streamer taped to the back of the wall and simply run across the top and front of a basic white tablecloth- would take five minutes to make and so inexpensive. The top could feature small white balloons or use my cloud tutorial from a previous blog post for making your own cloud topper.
