Planning a Fall Harvest Party??




It's that time of year again. The leaves are all starting to change into beautiful colors and slowly fall to the ground. People are digging out those jackets from the back of their closets and everyone is slowly beginning to prepare for Old Man Winter. One of my favorite childhood memories was going to my Aunt's farm for her annual Fall Harvest Party. We would take hayrides on the tractor, bob for apples and of course, drink some warm apple cider. What would be a better time than now to plan your fall harvest party?


If you want more decorations than the just your average stuffed scarecrow, we've got what you need. Our autumn balloon is currently on clearance for only $4.99 each. These will definitely add that extra something special to your party, so make sure to order them while they last.

We also have tons of different styles of confetti for you to sprinkle on each table or to throw a couple in your invitations. Our autumn leaf confetti style, which is a mixture of different colored leaves, is our most popular. We also have apple confetti that you can sprinkle on your apple bobbing table. Or if you want to bring in a little extra autumn feeling to your Thanksgiving dinners, you can combine our cute turkey confetti with our acorn confetti to make a nice mix of the two. Be creative and don't make the planning stressful! It's all about having a good time!

Fraternity & Sorority Social Ideas





Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Amanda and I'm one of the sales associates here at Confetti Party Headquarters. I'm also a recent alumnae member of a very large International Sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta at California State University, Chico. Many of you may not know much about sororities or fraternities, but one of the fun events we like to plan are our socials and dances with other Fraternities or just dates of our choice. These are always fun events and a great way to get to know other people on campus.



One of my favorite themes for socials is Italian Wedding, where we elect a mock bride and groom for the night to "get married." We all wear funny costumes and it's always a blast. For this theme, my sorority has used a number of different decorations. One of my favorite styles of confetti to use is the Wedding cake confetti. They're adorable three-tiered wedding cakes that have so much detail, you would almost think they're real.



Some other themes my sorority likes to use are Mardi Gras, Casino Royale, and Rock 'n Roll.
We have so many styles to choose from that sometimes its hard to pick just one. My favorite Mardi Gras confetti to use is a mixture that has the words "Mardi Gras," masks and lots of colorful stars. These always add a little something extra to our events and really impress our guests.


We don't use our confetti just to decorate tables at dances either. Sometimes we decide to spruce up our balloons by adding some confetti to them. I like to put the prismatic silver stars into a balloon before I blow it up. It just gives it that extra special shine.



Also, I came up with the great idea to use confetti to decorate our house on an everyday basis. All of our coffee tables and end tables in our sorority house have glass coverings on them and every year we change all of the pictures under them. This year, I decided to spruce them up by adding a little bit of confetti on each table. I added the red rose confetti, because that is Alpha Gamma Delta's flower. I also threw in a few of the black stilletto high heels confetti to add a little girliness to it. They look great and it's another way to give your house a unique feeling. Whatever you decide to do, be creative!!

We're also hoping to get the greek alphabet soon as a part of our inventory, so keep looking for that!

Innovative Advertising Ideas, How to get your Christmas Card Noticed





With the economy making us all think twice about where we spend our money, it behooves us to
think about ways to get our message noticed.

When you mail your Christmas Cards this year think about being different. Companies receive lots of Cards and most are probably stamped with Seasons Greetings ABC Corportation.

Make your card stand out as soon as it's opened. If your company is a bank include dollar sign confetti or confetti that looks like hundred dollar bills. Cash always gets noticed.

For a Company that sells shoes...it doesn't matter whether you're Manolo Blahnki or Payless Shoes...tuck in some shoe confetti.

Another option is to speak more to the card recipient than to your image. This is too much work for a company like Google or IBM. For a smaller business it's a great way to stand out. Send houses confetti to realtors, airplane confetti to the travelers in your customer base and kitten confetti to cat lovers. Witheach of these, tuck in a few pieces of Christmas Confetti. It could be as simple as Merry Christmas or as specific as Angel Confetti.

Music

For a small music store in Florida you could tuck a few flamingo confetti along with a few pieces of Music Confetti into your card. Be creative, music stores in Arizona could add cactus confetti.

Sports

For a Sporting Goods Store in Texas add Texas Confetti and Football Confetti.

Beauty Shops, Hairdressers

Use Blowdryer Confetti, Lipstick Confetti, don't forget Snowflakes and HO HO HO Confetti.

I'd love to have you comment on your ideas for your business. What will you do to get your mailers noticed this Holiday Season?

Be Creative, Get Noticed.
