White out party ideas2/29/2024 I wanted the backdrop to make a statement so I ordered these HUGE 2019 balloons. We placed ours behind the food table more as decor however. It served as a great backdrop for pictures and could be used for that purpose exclusively. This backdrop was really simple to make and inexpensive. Now that we had the white curtains up, I wanted to add a nice festive backdrop to add some color. We had lots of compliments on them and some people even thought they were actual fabric curtains! Ha! They looked very classy and hid all of our junk! Mission complete! □ Easy Festive Party Backdrop After we replaced the tape with new non handled tape, they held up for a week! We had a couple places that we needed to fix the next day due to this. Here is a tip we learned… make sure you don’t handle the tape too much or it may not stick to the tablecloth very well. After the first half of the tablecloth was secure, he would slide it down the rope and work on the second half. Next he would tape down the beginning and middle followed by 3 more pieces of tape spaced out in between. W would clothespin the beginning and middle of the tablecloth to the rope to secure the tablecloth in place first. We used clear packing tape and cut it into smaller pieces. Because we wanted them to drape like curtains, we did not tape along the whole length. He used clothespins to aid in the process. Wonderful just folded the edge of the tablecloth over the rope and taped it to itself. If yours is finished, you could always use command hooks. Our garage only partially finished so it really didn’t make a difference to us to put the hooks up there. We used some small hooks that screwed into the ceiling to hold the rope. In order to do that, we strung up some small string/rope across the length of the garage sides. I wanted them to hang and drape like actual curtains instead of just straight plastic. I knew you could get them at the dollar store but I actually found some at Walmart that came in a package of 3 for 2.47! We measured the distance of the sides of the garage we would be covering and I figured I needed about 21 tablecloths. I think it looks a little more classy this way too. The pictures I saw of colored tablecloths on the walls had a little too much color for my taste so I opted for plain white plastic tablecloths. I looked on Pinterest for a solution to hide our junk and saw how some people hung plastic tablecloths or curtains along the sides of the garage to make it look more festive. The decorator in me wanted a nicely decorated themed party, of course! □ Here are some of the ideas we used for our party that helped to dress up the garage for very low cost I might add. Not that we have a super messy garage or anything, but it just didn’t look very pretty. My biggest problem with it was that I really didn’t want all of our “junk” in the garage to be out on display for everyone coming to the party. Originally I wasn’t very thrilled about the idea of having a garage party but in the end it turned out great!! Wonderful suggested having this party in the garage. We had our first son’s graduation party in the backyard but it was very windy that day so it was hard to decorate for the party. But first, I wanted to share some of our graduation party ideas for a garage party. □ The home renos are nearly completed and I will be sharing them with you soon. We had planned to finish these renovations several years ago after our first son graduated but honestly we got a little lazy. We really didn’t need to get them done before the graduation but it was a good motivator. Hey guys! Remember me? □ I know it has been a while!! I took a little blogging hiatus as we worked on some home renovations to get ready for a graduation party for our 2nd son.
