Celebrating During Social Distancing: Inside A Party In A Box

Last time, we talked about how to celebrate during social distancing with a Party In A Box! I couldn’t resist…let’s see all those items in action, since if you are giving this box to someone, you won’t. Or, if you decide to throw your own celebration, here are a few ways to use the items inside. Either way, it doesn’t take long to pull this look together…

To refresh your memory, I made handmade party items, banner letters, balloons, plates, napkins, novelty cups and used a kraft roll for a table runner.

Set the scene with the paper rosettes, paper chains and balloons. No helium? No problem; hang them upside! Before blowing them up, add a marble to add a little weight and keep them hanging down.

Have I mentioned how much I love these two-tone balloons? Maybe they remind me of making balloon bowls?

There are those fun plates, layered like a plate and a charger. Balloon-shaped napkins? A cute bear cup? Your placesetting is set!

Check out the table scatter in action. This is the easiest way to decorate a table top…along with your plain cupcakes or doughnuts, bowls of frosting and sprinkles and the food picks. Table top, done.

If I haven’t said it before, cake doughnuts are the best for decorating. Not only are they easy to purchase and freeze ahead of time (they thaw quickly), they are a sturdy palette for holding up frosting and sprinkles.

Everyone gets to decorate their own doughnuts or cupcakes, add candles to the celebrant’s, and sing away! This is such a fun way to make the celebrant feel special with those they are with. Social distancing is hard but we are going to make it all about the guest of honor.

Feeling inspired? Be sure and join the party next time where I’ll be sharing even more ways to celebrate during our time of social distancing! There are lots of ways to stay connected even when family and friends are a far.
