Once invites have been mailed, it’s time to plan the decor and details. I like to put together either a color palette or a few prints/patterns as my base. For My Little Pony, the colors are just about every color in the rainbow. I talk about this in my book, having a larger color base makes life easier when party planning. When you are tied to one specific shade of blue, you’re going to have a hard time finding everything you need in that shade of blue. Of course, it can be done, but why make things so hard on yourself? We went with the whole rainbow, every bright, vibrant color there is.
I love gigantic balloons. I am obsessed with NorthStar Balloons' incredible selection of huge number and letter balloons in, you guessed it, every color of the rainbow. We ordered gobs and gobs of stars, hearts, letters and 9’s to deck out Ally’s party. They were inexpensive, and instantly give any room a party vibe. There isn’t anything besides maybe cake that screams party more than a balloon. Get some. They’re inexpensive and kids love them.
