It's a party?! Well, I certainly hope that everybody knows how I feel about parties at this point! Well, this time we're going to be doing something a little bit different. Or it might be different? I actually can't remember if I've done a decoration article instead of just pure fashion before. Either way, we're doing a decoration article now! This is going to be the tips and tricks of how you can make your own part the best one on the block!
1) Balloons
They sound like a cliche, I know, but no party is complete if there isn't some killer balloons present! Unfortunately, I can't just sign off on regular green and silver balloons filled up with helium - there's gotta be some pop to it to show that we have some style. My personal favorite is to take a white balloon, preferably one that looks clear when it's inflated, then stick a green or silver balloon partway inside of it. You want the second balloon to stick out enough that when you fill it up a little bit you can still tie it. Then inflate the outer balloon so it's bigger than the inside one.
You'll have two balloons in the space of one! If you didn't use helium to inflate them, then they can be tossed around while the inside balloon just rattles around in its safety bubble. If you don't want to buy double balloons then you can also use confetti! Instead of placing in a second balloon into the first one, just fill the balloon with pieces of confetti before inflating it and then tie it off. Personally, I use the confetti that holds flower seeds inside of them, so when you're ready to clean up the party you can pop the balloon to leave the confetti behind and grow into beautiful flowers. Just remember to pick up the balloon itself afterward!
2) Health and Mana Punches
Friends, we attend a magical school, and it might fly over the head of some of our pureblooded friends, but we can't have a party and not have two different types of punches! You'd want a nice red colored punch that's labeled "Health" and a nice blue colored punch that's labeled "Mana".
Ya know, mana gives the player the ability to cast spells, while health is their health? No? Okay. Even if the joke is lost on some of my readers, it would be suggested to have a couple of different varieties of drinks present. If I go to another party that is only serving the Muggle drink Coca-Cola I might have to scream and just go to bed. Early! That's not an ending to a party that I would like.
3) Music
The music at a party is gonna be a bit harder to pull off, simply because everybody has a different preference. So you're going to need a nice variety of music in order to get through the night without upsetting too many people. If you personally like country that's great, but that also doesn't mean that everybody likes it. So throw in some hip hop or some rock occasionally so everyone can have some jams to dance to.
I'm sure we've all been to that party where we didn't like any of the music being played? Let's not do that to everybody else just because we're the DJ for the night.
4) Old School Classics
Lava lamps for some mood lighting instead of the harsh fluorescent lights we could have.
Bean bags for people to sit and chill in when they don't want to dance.
Both of those are a requirement and you can't change my mind that they're necessary for every home.
That's actually all of the major tips and tricks that I have for hosting the best party that we can host. This edition, though, is a little more different than if I had done it any other issue. The reason for that is because I have a couple of questions for you lovely readers out there!
Question 1 - Is there a certain fashion disaster that you want me to cover?
Question 2 - What's a necessity for every home?
