Don’t go cheap and skip the decorations or themeing, otherwise you’re just having people over to drink… instead of CELEBRATING!!!
INSTEAD: Use tastfully tacky decorations to give your rec room or garage that Irish feel complete with Shamrocks and Pots of Gold!
Do Have a lot of people over, the More the Merrier!
Don’t act like a scrooge (british litterary character Not Irish!) and have two or three people, again that’s not a party and it won’t be any fun!
INSTEAD: Advertise your party to all your neighbors with a custom banner themed to St. Patrick’s Day! Why make them jealous? Be the talk of the street with inviting them all
Do use paper plates and serving bowls.
Don’t use real plates that need to be washed and dried for hours after the event, you’ll thank me later.
INSTEAD use themed paper plates and utensils to get that extra GREEN needed for St. Patricks Day, again dyed food doesn’t taste good while a green plate gets the point across!
Okay, I get asked a lot of questions regarding our banners, lets go ahead and answer them:
What is a customizable banner?
A customizable banner is a a template that we create that allows you to add your own text to it to create really awesome themed party decorations.
How do I customize it?
Simply visit us online and choose from our more then 500 wall and door banners! Then select the one you want and start typing! If you get confused watch this YouTube video for guidance.
Is it plastic? Will it tear easily?
No to both questions. We use high quality vinyl material in all our banner printings. It is rated to last 3+ years OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS!!!
Okay I have the banner now what do I do with it?
Hang it either outside your party location to let guests know where you are, or inside to help create the theme! Attach them to walls or posts either with the 4 corner gromets or with sticky tack or tape.
There are several different patterns for paper flat wear and place settings from pumpkins, to skulls, to a playful devil. Don’t forget the tablecloths, plastic silverware, napkins and cups to match!
Decorations are key to throwing a theme party. We’ve got all you need to set the scene and transform any room into Halloween town. A great way to change any boring room into a Halloween Haven is with our Scene Setters.
Pick from our array of table confetti, table skirts, hanging spiders, dangling lights in ghost, pumpkin, or spider shapes. There are even wall hangings to easily tape up for an instant room transformation. Then jazz it up with stick on fake foot prints, safe and realistic battery operated tea lights… best of all, these are all reusable!
Whenever a birthday comes around I find that there are two types of banners:
Plain old “Happy Birthday” and,
The overused classic “Over the Hill”
But what if you wanted to say “Hey Brian it’s just a number like Uncle Mike always said”, or “Jen at least you’re always going to be 5 years older then me!” Or some other crazy personalized message. That’s where our Personalized Banners make all the difference.
At your local party store or grocery center you’re pretty much limited to the first two, with no way to say what you want unless you buy poster board and are REALLY artistic.
But now at Windy City Novelties you can choose from hundreds of pre-themed banners where you can put the exact message you want to convey. Among the most popular are themed banners for: Disco , Birthdays , and Patriotic
“Support our Troops”, “Elect Steven Colbert“, or even “Welcome home Jim, we’ve missed you!” And the best thing is that they’re printed on high quality vinyl, so they can be used once and kept as a keep sake or used hundreds of times over.
We even now make Personalized Door Banners so your guests can be greeted with the message as they enter the party.
