With the holiday season just around the corner, party planning is high atop the to-do list for many. In place of the same old, same old this year, CreativeHomestyle.com offers suggestions for party ideas that will make an impression on even the most difficult to impress guests - on even the tightest party planning budget.
"In a topsy-turvy economy, creativity is key to keeping party planning affordable", says event planning expert Linda Kevich, who was consulted for these ideas. But, she assures, don't be discouraged if you're not the creative type, these do-it-yourself party ideas are so simple, anyone can do them.
- Adorn your holiday table or mantel with a shimmery lighted centerpiece -- a creative way to create a striking focal point for any holiday party. Stuff a clear vase with crumpled iridescent Mylar film, then nestle tiny battery operated twinkle lights into the crumpled film to set the entire arrangement aglow. The effect is one of shimmering ice.
- For holiday dinner parties, place a Christmas ornament at each place setting at the dinner table and attach a tag with a guest's name to each. They'll do double-duty as festive place cards as well as party favors that guests can take home and hang on their tree each year to remember the occasion by.
- Light the way to the party and welcome guests by placing glowing luminaries up the pathway to the door. Luminaries, also known as luminarias, are attractive candle lanterns easily made by inserting a small candle into a small paper bag or translucent bucket. They create a stunning effect when used to line a walkway or driveway.
