Congrats | Party Supplies

Over the weekend we hosted a little BBQ for my family in honor of my brother Jeff getting a rad new job he's worked so hard for. I wanted to dress up the patio and make it feel festive without going overboard. I realized how important it is to have extra "party supplies" on hand so that you are always 5-10 minutes away from a well hosted evening.

 For example, I used an old roll of black & white wrapping paper as our table runner, and a chalk garland that I customized for the night. I try and make it a practice to keep an eye out for sale odds and ends every couple of trips to Target, and keep a box at home handy for last minute party decor. 

What's in my party supply haul:

1. Wrapping paper/butcher paper (for table runner, place mats, or kids coloring paper at dinner.)
2. A selection of cocktail napkins (with congrats, happy birthday, etc.)
3. Tassel garlands (pink/blue and one neutral like black and white or gold.)
4. 1-3 centerpieces (think grouping of candles, a few lanterns, or antlers.)
5. Framed chalkboard and/or stand (for menu, sign, etc.)
