Here are some valuable money saving
decorating tips for your next celebration:
- Low on cash? Use streamer and
balloons for most of your decorating.
Match the colors
to your select holiday theme (Christmas = green and red) and
you can save on your decorations. You can fill an
entire room and most of your themed decorating is done.
Twist colors together for a nicer effect, use a dark and
light color like red and white or black and orange.
- Decorate a
holiday cake with a small toy or
figurine.
If a cake decoration is hard to find, these
items may be cleaned and used to decorate any celebration
cake. You can use toy Santa's, Ghosts etc.
- Make your own printables, if you have a
computer handy, you can design large numbers for wall decor
on New Year's Eve, print pictures of santa and snowmen for
Christmas and more. If a computer is not handy, grab
your nearest artist, adult or child, and draw and color some great wall
decorations. Cut them out and stick them on the wall.
Create standups by gluing a piece of paper and/or cardboard
to the back like a kick stand.
- Match
colors when themes don't work. If you can't find a
designed product, almost all party stores will offer plain
color plates, cups, napkins etc. So if you need
Halloween colors, find black and orange, or red and white
for Christmas. It's usually cheaper and the colors
will make it all festive.
Decorating for your special holiday doesn't need to cost a
lot and the more creative you are, the more your guests will
enjoy!
