How To: Spunk Up Your Next Social Affair

So because we can't help ourselves we add flair to any social gathering that we can :-) For owner and principle planner, Shayla's birthday (that happened to fall on Halloween weekend), we decided at the very last minute to do a play on the infamous Cirque Du Soleil for her birthday celebration. Any party or gathering is SO much more FuN aNd ExCiTiNG with a theme and there are so many good ones to come up with! It's also really simple and cost-effective to do and the memory will be priceless. Here is the skinny....

{Set the tone}
It all starts with the invitation.
{Small touches make great statements}
The decor and color scheme must bring the theme to life. Note the fun stationery, props, balloons, banners, etc.
{Coordinate the food and beverage}
Get creative and have some fun with this! Note the popcorn & cotton candy :-)
{Dress The Part}
Have a theme-appropriate attire request for your guests. Hence, the birthday girl as the ring master and her guests Minnie Mouse, Jennifer Beals, Superwoman, Raggedy Anne, The Pink Lady, 80's baby, and more!
