Here are some tips for a DIY party that will impress everyone (and make you look great).
Start with the invitations, which you can create online and send via message or email. This way, you’ll also be doing the environment a favor.
For flowers, choose inexpensive options or go for minimalist solutions, which are both trendy and impactful.
For decorations, get creative with paper and markers before buying disposable cameras to capture memories from the evening and be surprised when you develop them later.
Lastly, for party favors or gifts for guests, you can make them at home with things you can find almost around the house.
Here’s everything you need to know to organize a DIY party and make a great impression.
5 Tricks for Organizing a Party on a Budget
DIY Party Invitations
You don’t need to be a Photoshop expert. Simply use user-friendly platforms like Canva.
Tip: Spend some time on this. Explore images, fonts, and draw inspiration from templates and preset invitations available in the program (which is free but offers paid extensions).
Inexpensive Flower Bouquets
Opt for a few flowers among lots of greenery and what’s known as “baby’s breath.” It will definitely cost less than a bouquet made entirely of flowers and will still be impressive.
If you prefer a minimalist style, choose small vases—like those from Ikea—each different from the others and place a couple of flowers in each.
Simple, effective, and budget-friendly: this will allow you to spend more on other aspects of your party that you might not be able to handle on your own.
Paper Decorations
Head to a stationery store and buy some paper and colors.
Make your own garlands by writing whatever you like, then tie it all together with ribbon or string. Be ultra-personalized! No one will have seen anything like it elsewhere.
Vintage Photo Keepsakes
Want some great photo memories but don’t have a photographer or enough budget?
Buy disposable cameras and place them in various spots around the venue: on tables, next to sofas, near mirrors.
Then develop all the photos: the result will be a surprise for you as well.
Homemade Favors
Recently, a video by Giada Varricchio, a young artist with about 70,000 followers on Instagram, went viral. She also makes favors and recently posted a reel showing a tutorial for making them at home with just a few readily available tools.
The favors are small bowls made of air-dry clay, decorated with a flower or an aromatic plant, then placed on a smooth, non-porous plate, dried for 24-48 hours, and then decorated with watercolor or acrylic paint. Finish with a mixture of PVA glue and water.
You can personalize the design based on the occasion and add a name or initials on the back.
