COCOA & COOKIES CHRISTMAS PARTY!! 

Over years and years of many parties, I've learned to keep things simple! You can have a great party and not spend a ton. Use items you already have to decorate with. 

An inviting invitation is the first step! 

She's the middle child, and my best little helper! These balloons for the arch were GIANT!!

I'm going to be honest... I love balloon arches but hate putting them together. A few tricks I have learned to help make it a little easier. 

1. Purchase an electric blower!! Did I say it's 100% worth every penny. Amazon.com: KINBON Electric Balloon Pump Air Balloon Pump Dual Nozzle Portable Balloon Inflator Blower Pump Balloon Buddy Inflator for Party Halloween Decoration Balloon Arch 110V 600W : Toys & Games This is the one we have. 

2. Tie balloons in groups of two. And then bundle some in groups of four. I'll have to post a how to video the next time we do an arch.

3. When ready to put balloons on the arch, tie your line on 2 chairs and use it as a guide. 

4. When attaching the arch to the wall, use command hooks. And it's as easy as 4,3,2,1 :) 

People always ask how I have the time to do everything. I typically have planned everything out weeks before the event. For this party, I made the different cookies and frosting days prior. So when the day comes, you really just set your stuff out.

Makes having the party so much more enjoyable!!
