🎉 Crafting & Party Decor Tips: How to Elevate Your Next Celebration

From small details to statement pieces—here’s how to make it all come together!

Planning a party can feel overwhelming, but the right decor can make everything look thoughtful, beautiful, and totally you. Whether you’re styling a kid’s birthday, baby shower, or celebration just because, here are some of my favorite tips to help you pull it all together—with a little handmade magic from Crafts by Lily.

⸻

1. ✨ Choose a Color Palette First

Pick 2–3 main colors to build your party theme around. This helps every detail feel cohesive—whether it’s pastel rainbows, neutrals, or bold brights. Once you’ve got your colors, matching your decor, favors, and signage becomes so much easier.

Tip: Add one metallic or glitter accent to make your theme pop—like gold, rose gold, or holographic!

2. 🎨 Personalize the Details

The little custom touches are what make your event memorable. Think name tags, personalized keychains, custom cake toppers, and themed signs.

Crafts by Lily Tip:
• Use initial keychains as party favors—they double as cute keepsakes!
• Add a custom name tag to your treat table or backdrop for a photo-ready finish.

3. đź–Ť Add Interactive Elements

Give your guests (especially kids) something to do!
Coloring placemats, activity cards, or personalized stickers are perfect for keeping little hands busy while matching your party’s theme.

Bonus: They make adorable keepsakes to take home!

4. 📸 Create a Focal Point

Choose one “wow” area to decorate the most—like the dessert table or photo backdrop. Add a custom sign, balloons, and themed props here to make a big impact without decorating the whole room.

5. đź’ˇ Keep It Functional + Fun

When choosing decor, think about how it adds both style and purpose.
• A custom NFC sign can collect digital messages or link to your business/event info.
• Backpack tags can double as name tags or seating cards for kids’ parties.
