How to host a home decor party?

I'd look in Domino magazine for ideas.  Your party could be themed.  You know, something like "chic steals on a budget".  Or "how to transform your living room in five steps".  Another idea of mine is to ask an Interior Designer to be a special guest at your party.  He or she may have some insider information on decorating that the outsiders aren't privy to.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

Pick a color. Match your tree to the room it is in, or coordinate it. \nGold is gorgeous, so is silver. I personally like to mix green, red, and white.\nPick shiney ornaments, or glass ones. The lights of the tree shine through the glass ones, very pretty. Shiney ones reflect the light. Both pick up the light from the room in the daytime.\nPick a theme. I saw a tree decorated with painted wooden ornaments, like toys, boats, trains, soldiers, very cute, it had multi color lights. . Saw one in tartan plaid. Another was all snowflakes and icicles, clear lights. Saw one in all angels.\nThe style this year is all one color ornaments and lights, with big ornaments.. \nHere is a trick, buy some bigger, longer ornaments for the gaps in the tree[and the bottom], and some smaller ones for the middle of branches, and smallest ones for the top, and very ends of the branches. I coordinate the color of the end ornament to match the ornament on the branch, it draws your eye there.. I buy some of those little glass balls, that come in a plastic round package, so many for a couple of bucks.\nAnother cute trick, I tuck a small angel, or a doll, or a Santa face in some of the gaps, and I love to do so at eye level. People get a start when they come close to the tree and there is Santa looking back.\nI have a pink tree, a cardinal tree[the bird, not the baseball or football team], and a big whatever tree.\nI admit to having some Waterford Crystal ornaments. I play with the lights behind them, so they shine through the ball. It is spectacular, you can see the glow clear across the room.\nLast year, Good Houskeeping magazine, Martha Stewart, Better Homes and gardens, all had xmas trees, and ornaments. Type Christmas tree into your browser, I did. also ornament.\nHope this helps. Merry Christmas.

With yellow and white being your colors there is one very logical "theme" for your reception - daisys.  For table centerpieces you could have daisy votive floating candles (floating on water) in a brandy glass (or vase) - they have guest books, pens, champagne flutes, etc. in the daisy theme.  \n\nBest wishes

I'm planning my first block party also and I've been advised to do the following:\n\n1.  Make flyers and drop off at the front door (you're not allowed to leave flyers in a mailbox so be warned!)\n\n2.  Ask everyone to \n    - BYOB (Bring your own beer) or soda, etc.\n    - a dish OR enough meat (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.)for their family and one other family\n    - their own chairs if they want\n\nThen get with a couple of the neighbors and ask them to bring a grill to cook the meat.  \n\nYou could also incur the costs of some of the items (meat, drinks, etc.) and ask for donations.\n\nMOST IMPORTANTLY!  Pray for great weather!

Lots of candles always look nice. You could make some candle centerpeices for each table, put a few flowers and braches around each one, keep it simple. And fairy lights are always good too. I saw one where they put the icicle lights underneath the white table cloth of the head table and it was really soft and pretty

Well, you could prepare some food and decorate your house with banners and balloons I suppose. Have some music prepared as well. Then invite over some of your friends and relatives to celebrate with you. That's pretty much what a typical birthday party is like. \n\nIf you really want you could also plan out some games and other fun activities to have. Or maybe even have a live band or dj.

Buy a homosexual magazine.  Sneak it into the party.  Put it on the back of the host's toilet.  All the people at the party will think the host is a closet guy or gal.  Great fun!

I am a wedding stationery designer so have heard it all in the last 7 years since i started!\n\nTry a theme you both love or have an interest in and something that your guests can enjoy too \nNaming the reception tables after songs that mean something to you, places you have visited - or different cocktails you enjoy and then each guest at each table gets the recipie for the cocktail and a glass to try as an alternative to a favour/gift\n\nif you are having a disco or band at the reception, get the guests to write their 3favourite songs and the artists who sang them on their RSVPs and then return them to you - you select the ones you like the most and pass them onto the DJ along with your own selection - and i guarentee your dancefloor will be full all nite and you wont beleive how many people will write down the same song!\n\ni could type for hours but have to go and do some work!\n\nall the best and have a wonderful day!

run a search for the word postcard in your browser. you can find a reprographics company that prints postcards and will ship them to your house. if you can scan the immages you draw/paint, you can upload them on the website and order from home. i did that for a party i am throwing this weekend as opposed to hireing a company that makes "party flyers" and get the exact same thing as the party flyer companies offer but at less than half of the price.

What fun! By sixties, do you mean Mod? The site below has wealth of info and links that you can use. Start by making sure that you have a lot of the music playing throughout the party, there's a CD called Top Hits of the 60s and also Dance Hits of the 60s. Have a dance area to do the Twist, Watusi, Monkey and the Pony. Instructions are also on this site. You can also have videos of mod film or tv classics running as well, and have copies of magazine covers,record albums, pop art/op art for decor. \n\nThe really important thing is to make sure everyone is dressed up Mod style--teased hair, white lipstick and dark eyeliner, miniskirts and gogo boots for the Women, Men in full Austin Powers regalia! Instead of party hats you could have a few beehive wigs. You can also find a lot of props, accessories, clothes at thrift stores--they can be part of your sisters collection when the party is over.\n\nThink colorful vinyl or plastic, fake fur in neon colors, black and white geometrics, etc....and don't forget to have loads of cameras handy! \n\nHave fun!
