How To Host A Baby Shower Without Breaking The Bank

Posted on January 20, 2012 by bulktableware

Are you interested in having a baby shower for your expecting friends or family members but don’t have a large budget? Well, don’t fret. In these tough economic times, using bulk party supplies can save you money and time.

Most mothers-to-be attend multiple baby showers in their honor. But why not ask several friends of the parents to chip in and throw one large shower that includes family members, coworkers, church friends, college buddies and neighbors? Everyone knows buying in bulk saves you money, so it makes sense that throwing one large shower versus multiple showers would be cost efficient for all of the hostesses involved.

VENUE: There’s a good chance that one of the hostesses has access to a free meeting room. Perhaps one of your employers will allow after-hours access to a break room or cafeteria. Or, see if anyone has connections to a local church with a fellowship hall. If it’s nice outside, consider a park.

INVITATIONS: Ask the parents-to-be for names and addresses of possible party guests. But rather than heading out to a nearby store to purchase invitations, try searching online for bulk baby shower supplies. This guarantees you the best price on invitations and partyware. If you’re unsure if the baby will be a boy or girl, look for patterns that apply to either sex, such as Blush Dots.

DECORATIONS: The easiest and least expensive way to decorate a large space is with balloons. Rent a helium tank locally and buy balloons from a bulk party supplies store online. Check with older family members who may have saved baby shower tabletop decorations from previous events.

FOOD: The least expensive way to serve a large group of people is to make it a potluck! Search the internet for bulk party supplies in order to get the best price per item on tablecovers, plates, napkins, cups and utensils.

GAMES: If you’re trying to keep costs to a minimum, try guessing games! How big around is the mother-to-be’s tummy? What kind of baby food is that? Look for prizes at outlet stores or discount chains.

To get started on your baby shower, visit Bulk Tableware for all your tableware needs.

Coordinating Your Party with Solid Color Tableware

Posted on October 6, 2011 by bulktableware

There is a lot that goes into planning a successful party, no matter what the occasion. So many people get focused on the guest list, food, activities, and the decorations. These are very important elements as who you invite, what you serve, and theme that the decorations convey all will set the overall mood for your upcoming party and help make it a great success. A big part of making the party a success is the overall aesthetics. The decorations are a large part of creating a warm welcoming but what about your tableware? What colors and designs you choose to use can really add to the overall feel of the party, though often enough thought isn’t given into the choice of tableware you make. If the colors you choose clash with the decorations they can prove unsightly and distracting. Though you can use plain colorless tableware being thoughtful with your color pallet can add some class and excitement to your theme.

For example, if your party is a baby shower for a little girl solid color tableware in shades of pink or even peach are a great compliment to the overall theme and decorations of the event. Inversely, if it is a boy then solid color tableware in baby blue could be the perfect fit for the theme and tone of the shower.
The colors and designs you decide to use for your party can speak volumes about the party. Having solid color tableware that is black and complimenting it with solid color tableware that is orange, for example can be a great addition to your existing Halloween decorations.

So when planning that party remember that beyond the guests, decorations, food, and drink the time of tableware you choose can also play an important part in your upcoming event.

Children’s Party Supplies

Posted on April 6, 2011 by bulktableware

So your child is turning another year older soon and it’s time to start planning that party. Planning a birthday party can be a big endeavor so it’s best to start planning as early as possible. You will need to decide on the location for the party, create a guest list, send the invitations, and create an overall theme. So how do you choose the party supplies and decorations for the party? First, start by talking to your child. Your child may already have a theme in mind or suggestions in what kind of theme they might want. The location of the event can also play an important role in the overall theme. A zoo birthday, for example, wouldn’t be complete without colorful plates of favorite zoo animals from lions to zebras. Accompanying the plates should be colorful streamers and balloons with your child’s favorite animals on them.

What if your child isn’t certain what kind of theme they want, then where should you start? A good place to start is with what your child loves and finds interesting, then choose children’s party supplies that fit accordingly. If your son loves fire trucks then a theme with fire truck and firefighter decorations and plates will be an instant hit. Does your daughter love kittens? Balloons with kittens and children’s party supplies with adorable kittens are sure to be a success.

Remember that theme is a major factor in choosing your tableware and supplies. Brainstorm ideas from a variety of sources from your child’s favorite activities, TV shows, and movies. Connecting your party theme to something your child loves to do is a great way to plan and theme the event. A little creativity goes a long way and finding the perfect children’s party supplies are just another way of making sure you throw the perfect party for your child.

Let’s Throw A St. Patrick’s Day Party!

Posted on February 26, 2011 by bulktableware

You want to throw the best St. Patrick’s Day party ever. The problem is that you have no idea where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get your stuff together so you and your friends can shimmy the green clovers out of you!

The first step is to create invitations. Depending on the time or the skill level can determine what you do. If you are short on time then create St. Patricks Day cards on the computer, print them out and address them to your buddies. A little boring if you ask me. Grab some green paper, and markers. Have fun making the cards. It’s a first impression thing. If the card is boring then people will think the party will be a bore but splash some color and make it stand out and people will remember the party. Don’t forget to have you friends RSVP so you can work on step two.

The next step is to decorate and get supplies for the party. You want green table clothes, napkins and silverware. You can order tableware in bulk over the internet if you have time to prepare. If you are strapped for time, go down to the dollar store and they should have more St. Patrick’s Day decorations that you can shake a four leaf clover at. It’s cheap too. Plus you want to add personality to your decorations too. Show some skill and cut, paste and paint some of your own just to show that you threw this together without care.

Find some fun games for the party. You can play pin the pot of gold on the rainbow. Use the history or the folklore of the leprechaun to make up games. You can even hide a leprechaun and anyone who finds him gets a small prize. Place thinking board games around the house. Sure enough groups of guest will start to play. You can have five different games going on at once!

The last and most important step is the food and drink. Just because Irish has a background of drinking doesn’t mean you have to drink ale or beer all night. Find some traditional Irish drinks and have a taste test of different drinks. There are awesome recipes for St. Patrick’s Day with corned beef or pub foods. Splash some green dye to make it fun.

What are you waiting for? Let’s get started. It doesn’t have to be St. Patrick’s Day to throw a great party. A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
