Top 3 Must-Have Party Supplies for Any Occasion

Remember that time your friends suddenly said that they would be coming over, but you barely had any time to decorate?

Or when your child’s birthday party venue cancelled last minute, and you had to relocate everyone to your home instead, only to sing “Happy Birthday” amidst plain walls and a drab dining table?

It’s not an overstatement to say that it is always a good idea to have party supplies on hand. They are non-perishable, affordable, and can come in handy for any kind of special occasion or celebration.

We’ve picked three essential party supplies that are easy to store and can be neatly kept away, but will also come in super useful whenever you need to jazz up your home.

Confetti

Anyone who claims that they do not enjoy confetti is probably lying. Even if it involves quite a bit more clean-up, confetti is one of those things that bring out a kid-like wonder ev en in the most jaded person.

Confetti is also suitable for almost any occasion: a birthday party, a baby shower, or even a casual get-together with friends that ends up with the winner of the poker game being showered in colourful paper confetti. This essential item comes in metallic, foil, and paper materials. It also comes in a variety of different colors, so you will be sure not to get bored.

Balloons

The classic balloon is suitable for any celebration. One cool thing about balloons is that they barely take up any space until you actually have to use them! This means they can be stashed away in your drawer until ready for use. We would also recommend keeping oval latex balloons on hand, rather than the long ones, as the latter require a special pump to inflate, which might be get a hold of if you need to use balloons in a pinch.

Streamers

A versatile but often overlooked party item is the unassuming crepe streamer. These can come in a diversity of colors, such as turquoise, emerald green, and ivory. Like the other items in this list, streamers do not take up much space, and one fun thing about them is that you can really get creative! Since streamers are essentially strips of colorful paper, you can go simple and use some to create a fringe for your table, or you can go crazy and create entire works of art.
