Planning the Perfect Party Meri Meri

Planning the Perfect Party

Throwing the perfect party can be an ultra-stressful situation from choosing who to invite to what to serve and which games to play. To make it easy we have collated tips to ensure your party is a success with pre-planning and coordination! It's not really that hard, pick a theme, wrap and top your cupcakes, and Voila! instant party!

After deciding on a time, location, guest list and date you will need to think about choosing a theme. The first thing you need to decide is what type of party you want whether it is formal fun or a relaxed casual party. It is always exciting to have a theme as this can make it easier to choose decorations, activities and invites. If you decide to throw a princess party, you'd choose pinks and purples opposed to a pirate party where blacks and reds would dominate.

Choose a theme using Meri Meri's Party Range; Meri Meri makes life and planning parties as easy as 1, 2, 3 with their Party Range collections. Themes include Animal Parade, Roarrrr!, Space Cadets and many, many more. Each range contains a large three dimensional paper sculpture, some even include sound! Once you've chosen your theme it is super easy to choose cupcake kits, party bags, themed napkins and plates as well as invitations, thank you sets and garlands. You can't have a party without decorations and it's always fun to have basic streamers and balloons, but mixing it up with impressive paper sculptures and matching napkins will ensure success!

After you've chosen a theme your next step is to send out the invitations, don't forget to include a RSVP date and phone number as well as the basics (time, date, location).

Closer to the date you need to think about what food to serve, especially the sweets! It is easiest to serve finger food and small hand-held snacks; choose foods that complement each other and correlate with your theme. Remember you can never have enough food at a party.

Cupcakes have taken over from the usual birthday cake because they are the practical modern alternative to a traditional cake and have many advantages especially because just about anyone can make and decorate their own cupcakes. It is easy to ensure your cupcakes co-coordinate by choosing theme matching cupcake patties. Cupcakes also ensure that no one misses out and everyone has their own individual cupcake, even those that have to leave the party a little early.

Boutique greeting and giftware company, Spirit Publishing, has made it easy and even more fun than usual to theme cupcakes for any occasion especially as cupcakes are the newest ways to celebrate. Meri Meri has a range of cupcake kits on their website that are exclusively distributed through Sydney based company, Spirit. The range includes: Ready Set Go, Twinkle Toes, Pirate, Princess, Aloha, Mermaids, Oh Baby Bay, Bridal Shower, Roarrrrrr!, Animal Parade, Woof Woof and Fire Truck. Meri Meri helps make home-made cupcakes look as elegant and impressive as buying a cake from the bakery. The cupcakes sets RRP for $24.95 and are now available from selected department stores, high end newsagencies and specialty gift stores.

Instead of the typical lolly bag why not give the guests a gift. If your guests are kids starting school or in their early years of school give a stationary set including cards, paper and stickers all in an interactive box. There are two sets to choose from Robot and Russian Doll and both make wonderful gifts that will be treasured for life. www.spiritpublishing.biz/collection/meri-meri---party-range/stationery-sets/
