Holiday Décor Double Duty

I’m a big fan of items with multiple uses. I like to conserve energy and create something I can use many times. That’s why I’m SO excited to share a concept with you that literally changed the way I do parties. Are you ready….{just in case you didn’t read the title it might still be a surprise!} letting your holiday décor double duty for party themes! What’s magical is you can host a party at home with less stress, and get a good portion of your party décor up and ready to go days, or even weeks before your event. What could be better than that!? Ok, maybe the chocolate cake, but other than that…not much.

Holiday Décor Double Duty

How will you plan your next event? Will you choose the date first and then decide the theme? Will you choose a theme and let your holiday decor double duty for your party? Or will you choose a theme early and plan ahead to purchase ON SALE throughout the year? It takes a little forethought but is WELL worth it in the end.
