Da Chicago Bears Football Theme Bar Mitzvah Party Buffalo Grove

Posted by abncparties on October 6, 2009

This past weekend we had the privilege of setting up the centerpiece and balloon decorations for Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah party in Buffalo Grove, IL.  The theme was da Chicago Bears’ football!   The party participants were greeted at the place card table with this “name” centerpiece.

Two different sized Chicago Bears football themed centerpieces decorated the tables, along with matching balloons.  There were one level centerpieces with a picture of one of Daniel’s favorite players.

Our newest YouTube video shows how we use acrylic paint to decorate and highlight a hockey player sports cut out.  After painting, glitter paint is added  to make the details “sparkle.”  The hockey player cut out can be put onto one of our budget “Just Add Sand” centerpiece bases.  Use two pieces of onion grass to highlight.

Add balloons and table name cards with coordinated place cards to make an economical budget Hockey theme for your Bat Mitzvah, Bar Mitzvah, wedding, special event or party!

So You Do Not Need a Day of Event Coordinator? or Horror Story #1

Posted by abncparties on December 5, 2008

We still remember all too well one day in Northbrook, Illinois. We were setting up centerpieces and balloons for a party in one room when a frantic hotel hostess came in to talk with us. The centerpiece company failed to show up for the party in the next room.

What could we do to help out the situation?

It was sheer luck we had balloons, ribbon (matching the color theme) and enough helium left in our tank to fill the balloons. We used balloons filled with water as weights, tied some colored napkins with ribbon around the water balloons, inflated and tied down the balloons, and the party went on! The appreciative parents came back to use us for their next event. And we got a second party after that!
