Monday's are for planning

Monday's. Love them or hate them, there's no getting away from them.

We kinda like Monday's, the chance to plan the week ahead and start working on that to do list. When it comes to party planning, there really is a lot to organise and co-ordinate and it's very important to plan the weeks carefully. Any special requests, for example celebration cakes, need to be ordered as early as possible, orders for wedding cakes can be booked as far as a year in advance! You want to make sure you get the cake you want from the supplier you want. Catering and other items that are perishable need booking in early too. It's worth checking back with your order a month before the party date, to ensure everyone is clear on the final requirements.

Today we are focussing on our balloon order. Balloons have become a very sophisticated part of the party decorations, with balloon garlands making real statements. You can experiment with different colour palettes and an ombre effect can be stunning. There is a big trend now to use balloon words too, with the word "yay" being one of our favourites. On that note, we best get our order placed.

Have a good week.
