Announcements

Some programs also provide you with the ability to create birthday banners, which can be a fun way of advertising the special day.
Favors
A birthday party wouldn't be the same with fun favors to enjoy and take home. An idea for good favors that work for parties catering to any age is providing each guest with a disposable camera. This allows party goers to take creative pictures of the celebration which they can take with them, develop and eventually share via social networking sites. Beaucoup declares food-based favors will always be a party hit. Consider personalized chocolates, small containers of jelly beans, mini cupcakes or small gourmet coffee or hot-chocolate packets. Round out your favors supplies with little lip balms, small photo frames, little bottles of bubbles and fridge magnets.
Lighting
Lighting is an indispensable birthday supply. You can utilize light in a fun way that goes beyond the candles on the cake. Strings of white or colored lights don't have to be restricted to Christmas use. Brighten up any party room by draping indoor light strings along mantels and around table edges, and hang short strings from doorways instead of streamers. Create any mood desired by your choice of colors. For example, blue and white lights can create a romantic mood while pink and purple lights can add to the feel of a tropical-themed event.
List of Contacts
Perhaps the most valuable birthday supplies you will have is your list of important contacts. It will benefit you greatly to have the telephone numbers of caterers, party-supply stores, disc jockeys, event locations and entertainers at your fingertips. An organized listing will make life simpler when you begin planning a small or large occasion.
