Practical Party Tips: Essential party supplies

Today’s blog post is a guest feature with Tiffany of Fizzy Party!

Whether you’re new to throwing parties or a veteran like me, these are the supplies you’ll want to have on hand when setting up your party.

I suggest creating a party supply box full of everything you’ll be reaching for when setting up for a party. These items are the ones we party planners stock up on when they go on sale.

Glue Dots – Perfect for keeping the wind from blowing away lightweight items from your party table.

Double-Sided Tape – I cannot tell you how many times I’ve reached for this.

Scissors – An absolute must. You’ll be reaching for these nonstop!

Colored Card Stock – You can use this for making place cards, making cupcake toppers, or anywhere else you need a splash of color. Endless uses!

Shape Paper Punches – Add a little detail to your party by punching scalloped circles, hearts, or a huge variety of other shapes out of your colored paper and making cupcake toppers or tags for favors.

Small Hole Paper Punch – You’ll need this to punch holes in the tops of your favor tags and your printable banner.

Elmer’s Disappearing Glue – Fabulous for gluing paper items together.

Paper Cutter – So you can cut the perfect edge.

Ribbon – Use to tie party favors, tie around the bottle and straw for extra detail.

This list is just a small sample of the items I’m always using!
