Party Tips & Tricks from E&Z Events

1. Start with a Vision

Before diving into decor, think about how you want your event to feel. Intimate dinner? Playful brunch? Chill backyard vibe? Setting the tone early helps guide every decision.

2. Pick a Color Palette

Choose 2–3 complementary colors to guide your florals, table settings, signage, and more. It’ll make everything feel cohesive—without being matchy-matchy.

3. Layer Your Decor

Combine textures like linen, wood, glass, and florals to create dimension. Think: candles, florals, custom signage, and layered tableware.

4. Don’t Skip the Music

A playlist sets the tone as much as decor. Whether it’s background jazz or a feel-good Spotify playlist, music keeps the vibe flowing.

5. Create a Focal Point

Every party needs a “wow” moment—a gorgeous table, a custom backdrop, a floral bar cart, or even just beautifully styled desserts.

6. Prep Ahead & Build a Timeline

Set the table, arrange decor, and prep food the day before (if possible). Have a rough timeline for setup, activities, and teardown to avoid last-minute stress.

7. Have a Weather Backup Plan

Hosting outside? Always have shade, fans, or a tent on standby. Even in SoCal, Mother Nature can be unpredictable.

8. Include Personal Touches

Use custom signage, handwritten place cards, favorite foods, or family heirlooms to make your event feel uniquely you.

9. Don’t Forget the Photos!

Designate someone (or hire a photographer) to capture the details and candid moments. You’ve put so much love into this event—you’ll want memories to look back on and share! Pro tip: Create a mini photo area or backdrop to encourage guests to snap pictures too

10. Ask for Help (Or Hire It )

You don’t have to do it all yourself. Whether it’s a friend, a vendor, or a planning team like us—we’re here to make hosting easier, so you can actually enjoy your party.
