Birthdays are a great time of the year for most of us, celebrating life in all its glory, looking back to the years we lived among our kind and enjoying the attention and love of friends and family. The organizational details surrounding such an event however can be quite too much for most of us, so we will cover a few ways you can handle them with DIY solutions that work well.
• Decor for your birthday will need to catch the attention with brighter colors, making sure it stands out from the ordinary looks of a home. Sometimes even simple plastic utensils and plates used in brighter, bolder colors can make a huge difference in the mood you’re creating.
• Something else you can make use of to place your very own personal touch in everything you do is to create your custom invitations for the party. You can use cardstock, a marker and some scissors and a handful of DIY crafting supplies paired with your imagination and you will create a completely unique and personalized set of invitations for the party.
• You will also need to focus your efforts on creating a good, engaging theme for your party, something which allows the guests to forget about the world outside and to step into a brand new one made by you. Depending on the person having a birthday, this can be anything from a great scavenger hunt for kids to a grown-up theme of your choice that suits the person itself.
• You can make the scene look a lot more welcoming by using candy lights. They are essentially made with cellophane and some string lights to create a wrapped candy look, making them a lot of fun to have on kids birthdays and similar events.
• You can make great use of scrapbook paper by creating cones to use for your sweet and salty treats during the birthday party. They will look like carnival food, while at the same time making them much easier and fun to carry around while the guests socialize with one another. You will see the results of your work later on as the even unfolds.
• You can create a set of plastic glasses specifically tailored for each of your guests by wrapping a colored ribbon around each one. Write the name of your guest on it or simply leave it like that and you will have another item that’s simply different from your everyday environment you can use. These will be remembered exactly because they’re not something you see often.
• Although this is more of a food-related tip, you can also use it as a part of your decorations: take some lime rinds, chocolate chips and red jell-o and make some watermelon-looking treats for your homemade sweets.
