    \n

    A red carpet entrance sets the tone for any A-list event. Whatever your theme, give your guests a taste of what\u2019s in store the minute they pull up.  We recently hosted an Alice In Wonderland-themed birthday soiree. We placed tiny tea cups on an absurdly small table with a bottle of our signature blue cocktail – and added a mocktail version too – so guests could take a quick sip upon arrival to get the party started\u2026.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be sure to have a photographer stationed at the entrance to grab photos of each guest standing against an IG worthy backdrop as they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pro Tip: Create a party specific hashtag to share on the invite and at your entrance  so guests can post too.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Hollywood-Chic Vibes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      For Decor, visit your favorite social media and website sites for inspiration to build your theme, then blend it throughout – from your invite, to table tops to entertainment.  For our Alice In Wonderland party we had a magician dressed like the infamous white rabbit interact with guests to set a playful mood! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The ultimate A-list tip: choose just 2 decor colors – usually neutrals \u2013  then add a pop of color or a metallic to create a chic feel. This will not only give your event a more lux, cohesive look, it will help manage costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Engage the senses <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Keep your guests ready to party by engaging all their senses!   Three top low cost tips for every great event: bring the lighting down and turn the sound up!   <\/em>Dim the lights where you can, and add beautiful candles and string lights to create sparkle. If you don\u2019t have a DJ, find a great playlist from a friend or favorite streaming service to keep your guests dancing.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Lastly, keep everyone feeling cool too, literally<\/em>.  Turn on AC on or open the windows during set up on the day of the event to cool down the space. Yes, even in the winter!  A temp of 68 degrees or lower is ideal for an event no matter the size.  <\/em>Trust us – once things get rocking, temps will even out to keep the party going well into the night.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Don\u2019t forget the After Party <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          A great After Party can often be a favorite part of the night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

           This is an opportunity to feed everyone again and to get extra comfy\u2026 Consider foods that are a playful nod to your home town\u2026Our guests love In-n-Out Burger<\/a>  or San Francisco favorite:  Golden Boy Pizza  <\/a>And place a big basket of slippers or flip flops by the dance floor so everyone can kick off their shoes and keep moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          And for after<\/strong>, the After Party, <\/em>remember: Don\u2019t Waste Good Taste \u2026be sure to gather up all that fabulous event d\u00e9cor for resale on After My Event<\/a> for the next host to enjoy!    You can create a great A-list party and help the planet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
