Fire Balloons Outdoor
black white and silver themed party. decoration ideas please?
hey guys =)
im organising an 18th for a friend and it's going to be themed white and silver...but dress code also includes black.
ive had the ideas of those white and silver candles, glitter on the floor, white sheet with silver sheer on top to drape the walls (this is outdoor btw), white table cloths, a few fairy lights. theres also two of those fire things with chairs surrounding them.
food ideas include tzatziki dip, sakatas, pina coladas, sprite, diet coke (cans are silver), double blacks (cans are silver lol). and the cake is white cupcakes with silver beads stacked up in a pyramid kinda thing.
any other ideas please? or anything i've missed?
no balloons or streamers please!
thanks!
I'd incorporate black with the white and silver. Three colour colour palettes are much nicer than palettes that use only two colours. Black will also emphasise the other two colours and silver can be a little hard to see when used with white.
Fairy lights are always good. If you have bushes you should consider getting Netted Fairy Lights. They're strung in a net pattern and make it a lot easier to put the out and pack up at the end. They also look very pretty in bushes and trees.
Be aware white table cloths look good but they will end up getting stained, especially seeing as you have alcohol at the party.
Be careful with the braziers (the fire things) and make sure they cannot be knocked over. Put white bricks or pavers around then to try to prevent this but just be aware the will end up being knocked over (it's happened at parties I've been to where, at the end of the night when everyone is drunk, the thing gets knocked over about 5 or 6 times.) Be prepared to put out a fire.
Another good lighting idea that you could incorporate into your colour theme are paper lanterns. They look really nice, especially with decent bud lights in then, and can light up an outdoor area nicely.
Don't print out banners. They look tacky unless you're a designer, are using Photoshop and get them printed at a printers.
The sheet is a good idea. You could dress it up buy getting black and silver material, cutting your friend's name out of the silver/black material and pinning it to the big sheet to dress it up. You can also buy black and silver permanent markers and, if you're using an old sheet for this, encourage the people who come to the party to write/draw birthday wishes and messages on the sheet. You can then give this to your friend as a momento.
All in all, sounds like your friend will have a good party. Just remember (speaking as a designer) to keep things simple and it will look great as well as being easy to put up and take down.
The thought of the food is making me hungry. Happy Birthday to your friend. I wish I had friends like you.
