Decorating your party venue on a budget

28/05/2015 Parties,

If you are a parent of school age children the summer term is jam packed full with events – summer fetes, sports days, proms, concerts and fundraisers. With longer days and warmer weather this is a time to celebrate.

For hard-pressed PTAs there is always the question of how much to spend on decorating the school hall. These vast, functional spaces are not easy to decorate with limited funds.

So our paper lanterns are a cost effective solution as – if handled carefully - can be used again and again. Alternatively they can be raffled off at the end of the event and, with any luck, you will get your money back and a bit more. Plain paper lanterns can be decorated in lots of different ways.

  • Jazzed up using acrylic paint to match the theme of the event
  • Given the sparkly treatment by applying glitter for a disco ball look at a fraction of the price
  • Personalised by sticking on tissue paper or other craft papers

The children can really get involved with decorating their party space by decorating their very own paper lantern. We would of course advise the usual safety regulations are adhered to and care should be taken when hanging the lanterns at height.

Here are a couple of colour combinations which will brighten up your venue – the Vibrant range with hot pink, lime green, a bright turquoise, scarlet red, sizzling orange and purple, and the pastels range which has soft blues, pinks, white, green and lilac. Sold in party packs of 12 colours from only £16.80, they come in three sizes – 8”, 12” and 16” in diameter. If your theme needs a different mix of colour then please get in touch by email info@paperlanternsuk.com or call 01494 716758.
