A Brief Video Showing a Two Name Letter Balloon Arch

Posted by abncparties on December 20, 2009

We uploaded this YouTube video. I think it shows the impact a beautiful arch can make to a party or event as a focal point. It was our first double name balloon arch in letter balloons.

I really didn’t know how it would work out or whether it would look good. The ceiling in the party room was exceptionally high. We inflated the balloons and assembly the arch in the kitchen hallway. I admit I had some trepidation when the fishing line got tangled going through the doorway. But Mikey sure made it work!

A Beautiful Story About a Young Lady’s Bat Mitzvah Project

Posted by abncparties on December 13, 2009

Dave Choate wrote on Friday at Seacoastonline.com an article called: “Girl gives handmade menorahs to elderly.”

In it, he writes: “On the eve of Hanukkah, one Stratham girl brought icons of the holiday to those who otherwise would have gone without.”

Bat Mitzvah Project

Rachel Presenting a Menorah

“In preparation for her June bat mitzvah, the Jewish rite of passage into adulthood, seventh-grader Rachel Salzman of Stratham has spent hours creating painted wooden menorahs for the region’s elderly…In all, she’s created 30 to give to residents of assisted-living facilities and nursing homes in the Seacoast. ”

We think this was a great Mitzvah project and hope you gain inspiration for it. Read the rest of the story, including warm appreciations from many of the recipients.

Use Easy Laminations to Accent Your DIY Party Centerpiece Creations

Posted by abncparties on December 5, 2009

We added a new page on lamination cut outs to our site. A-BnC Parties can clear laminate a furnished picture, graphic or other art work for your do it yourself centerpiece. Then we mount it on a piece of rigid 3/4” polystyrene. We will custom cut out the photo as well as the backing piece. Most pieces are mounted on both sides and we accommodate reflected images. Use for a Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Wedding or other party centerpiece.

A Simple DIY Formula for a Halloween (or other) Centerpiece Decoration for a Bat Mitzvah Party

Posted by abncparties on November 18, 2009

We wanted to share a formula for some cute centerpieces we helped put together for a Halloween themed bat mitzvah party a just a few weeks ago.

Use these construction techniques to decorate your party with attractive centerpieces.  Support a stick or flexible plastic tube by gluing onto a piece of styrofoam or wood.  Insert into your base (here a plastic jack-o-lantern) and glue.  The base can also be a shopping bag, small box, decorated box, theme box (i.e. computer), etc.  Camouflage with some tissue or mylar paper.  Add a large picture (or other theme piece)  at the top mounted to a rigid piece of cardboard or polystyrene and attached to the stick or flexible plastic tube.

Add theme related garnishments – here we used leaves, scarecrows, dried flowers, etc.  Or it can be anything complimenting the theme you select.

Enjoy!
