Lit table centres
You are planning for a party and there’s a lot to do— decluttering and cleaning the house, the food and the drinks, the arrangement and the décor. As long as the party is successful, who cares about the entrance, right?
Wrong!
Imagine this: It’s your parent’s 30th anniversary and you and your siblings decided to throw them a secret party. You surprise your parents with a lunch date and tickets to an afternoon concert. As they leave the house, you start planning. You call all the guests and tell them to arrive on time so that everyone can sneak up on your parents and surprise them. When the guests arrive, they start looking around the house, confused until you lead them into the living room. After the fifth guest arrives and you see the same reaction on his face, you ask if there’s something wrong. The guest simply says, “Where’s the party?” And that’s when it dawns on you that the house doesn’t exactly look festive for the occasion.
Our point being — it’s important to have a striking entrance for your party no matter what the occasion is. The entrance has a huge impact on the guests and it sets the right tone. You need to wow your guests even before they have entered the room!
Following are five unique entrance décor ideas that will make a great first impression:
1. Memory Cut-Outs
Party Theme: Walking Down Memory Lane
Picture frames are all well and good for memories, but on a special occasion, such as an anniversary, why not create life-size memories? It’s time to bring out the old albums and find pictures of your parents when they were young. Create a timeline of 10 years, starting from when they first started dating.
Get these pictures printed on life-size boards and then create cut-outs. Starting from the entryway, place the cut-outs according to the timeline. Make sure to place the last one in front of the backdrop, behind the table. You can even join the cut-outs with fairy lights.
Add Party Art lit table centres to this for a spectacular effect.
2. Starlit Tunnel
Party Theme: A Magical Night
Does your house entrance lead to a long corridor? Then this entrance décor will blow your guests away. This décor idea is so cool that even you will be amazed by how easily it can be executed. You only need two items to create this entrance: jet-black velvet cloth and yellow, mini LED lights.
Cover the walls and the ceiling with the black velvet cloth. Make sure that the cloth doesn’t sag in any area. Dim the outside lights as this will keep the entrance in a silhouette. Once the cloth has been nailed to the walls, you can attach the mini LED lights on the cloth haphazardly to create a starry look.
When the guests start arriving, make sure to dim the outside lights at the end of the tunnel. This way, they will feel like they are walking underneath a starlit sky.
3. Pure Elegance
Party Theme: Gatsby
“The Great Gatsby” showed us how true elegance and opulence looks like. One could actually feel the lavishness with which the parties were decorated. Sparkling Champagne glasses, plush feathers, the VIP roped entrance and the black and gold décor… there are not enough words to describe how beautiful this theme is.
So, here’s what we think will allow you to create a Gatsby themed entrance: crystal curtains, gold coloured garlands, props, masquerade masks and a chalk board with the guest of honour’s name on it.
Hang the crystal curtain at the entrance and use gold coloured garlands to cover the walls. At the mouth of the corridor, place the chalkboard on the right side, near the coat hanger rack, so that guests can admire the hand-written beauty. As for the props and masks, place them on a mesh display stand so that people can pick one on their own and then enter the party.
Party Art’s range of lit table centres will compliment this perfectly.
4. Drapes
Party Theme: The Hippie Vibe
Creating an entrance with drapes is all about colours and lights. This hippie theme décor is pretty easy to achieve. All you need is long strips of coloured cloth and fairy lights. Now, to make the entrance look grand, you will have to mix-match with a lot of knick-knacks.
First, hang the drapes in a tent-style and then curve the fairly lights down the length. You can use plenty of props to spruce up the entrance such as fresh flower garlands, potted ferns, lanterns and the pièce de résistance — a guitar.
Party Art’s musical lit table centres are perfect for this.
5. Metallic Tassels
Party Theme: Shimmer and Shine
Who doesn’t love bling and tassels? Put them together, and you can create a fairy land! If you don’t want to decorate the entrance with helium balloons, which is usually what most people go for, then we have the perfect décor idea for you.
This shimmer-and-shine theme focuses on tassels and tassels alone. They are the start of your entrance and the party. All you need is shiny, satin finish tissue paper in gold and another colour of your choice. Cut them in strips and make small, finger-length tassels. Then attach them on a string and hang them from the ceiling. It will take a lot of time to create these tassels because you want to cover the entire entrance with them. As for the walls, hang sparkling fringe curtains on both sides.
And there you have it — a beautiful and shiny entrance that will make the guests feel like they are walking through a fairy land. Added to Party Art’s lit table centres your party will make a big impression.

Summer is here, and it’s time to plan a great summer party! However, a great party shouldn’t leave you bankrupt. In fact, there are great ways to plan a party on a budget. From music and food to décor, there are tons of options to explore!
It’s time to throw the greatest summer bash – and here are some amazing décor ideas!
Plan Your Party In Advance
Planning is key to throwing a grand event.
Before hosting your summer bash, make sure you have everything organized. This includes the guest list, the venue,catering and even small details.
Planning in advance can save you tons of money when the party draws near. By organizing beforehand, you’ll have your affairs in order to host a great event while staying within budget! Speak to your event manager, caterers or decorators beforehand. Decide on a theme and how you’d like to follow it. Placing bookings much earlier can save you tons on the venue, and even help you stay on top of the last-minute troubles.
Now who doesn’t want that?
It’s also important to keep in mind whether your guests will need parking space or validation. If your party is happening away from home, in a farmhouse or village, plan accordingly. Some guests may need a place to stay the night before going back.
The Decor
Décor is one of the most important factors. Not only does it create a vibe, but it also transforms your space into something amazing! With great advice fromTable Art (UK) andParty Art, you’re all set.

However, at the end of the party, don’t forget to account for the table centres if you’ve rented or hired them!
The Venue
Depending on how many people you’re hoping to host, it’s essential to get creative with the venue. You could host a great party with tons of booze and food, but your guests won’t have a good time if they’re cramped in a small loft.
Pick an Open Space
The best way to enjoy summer is outdoors! Pick a big lawn or plan a party in your backyard. Nature will play the second host to your guest.
Or if you’re feeling adventurous, plan a small getaway at a farm or a small village. The nice air, change of scenery and local food will add to the enjoyment.
Make Sure It Suits Your Guests!
If you’re throwing a gathering with a mix of different ages, make sure your venue is adequately spaced.
You don’t want the young ones getting bored, and you don’t want the older guests feeling tired!
The Food/Catering
And let’s not forget the other important detail: Food!
Depending on your guests or your theme, serve the appropriate food. Although for summer, chilled sangrias, fresh fruit, light sandwiches and pastries ought to keep your guests full!
However, if you’re planning a big fiesta which serves dinner, check out some cool summery recipes. Or speak to your caterer about a customized food and bar menu.
Plan For Emergencies
Always have a backup plan for emergencies. Some guests may get sick or hurt themselves while dancing. Always keep a first aid kit close by to tend to such situations.
Make sure some friends volunteer to be designated drivers, too. That way, your guests can return home safely and with a guaranteed ride home.
