Celebration Trends & Tips
Make your next event fun and stress-free!
Create your own event hashtag or provide an email address for picture sharing.
Keep germs at bay by putting dips, guacamole and even salad in single serving cups or glasses that guests can quickly grab instead of one big bowl or platter on the food table. BONUS: this tends to save spills and messy accidents from food serving.
Plan smart—don’t do everything yourself. Enlist family and friends to help!
Not everything has to be customized—choose a few easy statement DIY pieces to personalize the party and utilize red, white and black ready-made decor. It’ll be less stressful, and save you a ton of time.
Don't be afraid to go virtual! There are so many great new ways to connect and celebrate, and these new technologies allow you to include guests from afar.
