try stringing life savers on fishing line.  they catch the lights very nicely, and they're yummy to boot!  make it a candy theme, with candy canes, cookies and other favorite sweets.  i myself prefer theme-less trees.  just stick on as many lights and ornaments as you can.  the gaudier, the better.  merry christmas!

Make a sunset background.  Add some cacti.  Then let them color.  Even add some plastic wildlife

This has some really neat ideas, but my favourite project is making wreaths. You bend a clothes hanger into the shape you want and tie plastics strips all around until it is nice and full. You could decorate further with recycled ribbon, flowers, etc. You might even make the flowers from laundry softeners so they smell pretty as well! The plastics strips should be about 9 - 12 inches long and about an inch or so wide. Cut them from clean bread bags, grocery or store bags, garbage or leaf bags....you just tie the plastic onto the hanger wire so you have equal ends. Push together as you go and twist now and then to add fullest.

Oh, i did this same theme for mine. We had all of the white lights we could find with tiki torches ( not the cheap one's) and all of our guest got laid with the flower lays. It is nice to set a good atmosphere with candles and hamocks and great flowers. Congradulations and good luck.

I got a really cute snow flake background from Whatever life .com they also have them categorized. Just look for Holiday or Christmas layouts. :)

Well, start with colors – I would do bright, sunset colors (like reds, pinks, yellows, and oranges) or bright greens and blues, like tropical foliage and skies.  Orchids would be great for some of the flowers, because they come in such a range of hues, and a few of them in a bouquet or centerpiece make a nice statement.  If you can find them, hibiscus trees would be cool to have at the reception – put a few in the corners of the room or right in front of the entrance.  When you think of tropical locations, you think of lots of plants, so use a lot of greenery in the decorations – this can help save money in some cases.  Try to use big things – big leaves (banana leaves, palm fronds), big flowers (hibiscus, protea), etc.  You may be able to put small centerpieces in coconut shells.  Use seashells, too.  My wedding wasn’t a tropical theme, but it was a beach theme, and for the centerpieces we borrowed some big hurricane lamp style things and put some sand, a pillar candle, and shells, starfish, and sand dollars in them, then put tealights on the table, too.  You could also do something with floating candles and/or flowers.  If there’s a buffet or a drink table or something like that, place tropical fruits all around the table – pineapples, mango, kiwi, papaya, etc.  Big paper lanterns in the right colors, or little ones on a string of lights, can look cool.  Have seashells (made of fondant) on the cake.  A tropical theme is pretty versatile, because it can easily be made more formal or more casual.  Hope this helped!

His and Hers snow caps, scarfs, and gloves!  As parents, adults etc. When it is you scrapping off the cars in the morning or getting the kids into the car etc.  There is nothing better.  If you have the extra change you can even get them embroiered at a local sewing shop.  Check the Yellow Pages for seamstresses.  When  you call ask if they do embroiery, how much per word or letter, and how quickly they can have it done.  It would be a nice touch and shouldn't cost too much per letter.  In fact you could just get their initials! \n\n\nFor the Party, Why not try hot dogs for the main course instead of just the nachos.  Or you can get some: \nSmall cocktail franks and barbecue sauce.  Pour all contents into a crock pot and allow to simmer for about 2 hours b4 you serve.  \nThen serve chips and dip (Nachos would be good) \nFresh fruit with sweet chocolate dip.  \nHot Cocoa or Fruit Punch\nThese are tested on my kids and are inexpensive ways to feed several kids in a party type atmosphere.  They are also really good and good for them, (I know, boring mom stuff).  \nThe cupcakes sound like a really good idea!  There is a way to put a firework design on the tops in icing.  So that when you hand them out it will look nice and festive!  \n\nSounds like you have a good grasp at the age of 16 of what is truly important.  \nHope This Helps!\nAmy

Maybe you could read messages from family and friends to some of the patients. Also it might be fun to interview some of the staff. One tip for a boring guest is to get them off topic. Ask the accountant about the cafeteria food or ask the janitor what's new in the gift shop. If there's a pediatric department, bring in little kids and ask them to sing.

I thought up a Chrismas lingerie party. Red, white, and green teddy's, camisoles, robes, boxers came to mind. Christmas-themed print designs would be cute as well. A fun way to entertain your guests would be to invest in some fondue kits for your guests to dip into eg. (chocolate-covered fruits or marshmallows,  gravy/sauces for meat on a stick, cheese-dipped breads). You can search fondue recipes on the internet and you will find numerous variations.  I suggest offering warm&cold cocktails such as :\n-Cranberry Martinis\nIce cubes \n1 cup vodka \n1/4 cup dry vermouth \n1/2 cup cranberry juice \n8 cranberries, frozen \n4 lemon zest twists \n\nPut 4 martini glasses in the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes\n\n-Chocolate Mint\n1 oz. Peppermint Schnapps or Creme de Menthe \nHot Chocolate\n\nCombine in a footed mug.\n\n-Hot Apple Cider Rum\n6 oz. of heated hot aple cider\n1 oz. (shot) of rum\n\nUse a footed mug.\n\n-Holiday Bellini\n 4 oz.  champagne  (chilled)  \n 1 oz.  apricot nectar  or liqueur  \n\nPor into chilled champagne flutes and stir very gently.\n\nIf the lingerie/robe idea is too racy for you and/or your guests, you can ask the men to come as sata and the woman to come as Mrs. Claus.\n\nAs far as decorating ideas, it's always tasteful to buy long green garland and wrap christmas lights and tie red velvet bows to it and handg from door ways, wrap around banisters or columns, and drape around the edges of tables in a scalloped fashion. You can purchase glittery, false snow and sprinke it on table cloth. Miniture jingle bells and red bows can be tied around stemware. Be sure light festive candles and play holiday nusic in the background to set the mood. Have fun!

Do a $1 grab bag....everyone brings something from the dollar store, wraps it, and puts it in a grab bag.  During the night, you get to pick one out if you brought one in. \n\nChristmas Karaoke\n\nAsk your mom to go to orientaltrading.com for CHEAP party decor and favors...I mean CHEAP!  And CUTE!

Do you have a website, if not you should look into getting on and outting photos of your decoration online? A catalog to send to anyone that inquires after your work? what methods have you been using for marketing your business?  I am recommending a marketing book by Shel Horowitz as well as some articles I believe will be of help.  Another thing I suggest is to visit SCORE.org.  There you can search for a score counselor that has experience in the field of Decor and set up an appointment at your local chapter or simply communicate via email.  It is a free service as it's run by retired executives and business owners.\n\nGood luck
