I was recently denied entry into a local eco fair because I use balloons in my designs. In general, this is a little funny because who gets denied entry into a local fair?! But this got me thinking about the party business and the environment.
Personally, I feel very strongly about making choices that are best for the environment in regards to my designs. I encourage clients to rent wherever possible. I never pitch plastic plates or utensils. I seek out companies that are finding innovative ways to make party goods- like Tossware. I steer clients away from little plastic favors in favor (see what I did there?) of edible favors or items that can be recycled (books and cookies). I am also investigating ways to make my Birthday Party Package more environmentally friendly. Moving to boxed or canned water and possibly offering a Teracycle for party goods.
Of course, there is room for improvement- or lots of room for improvement. While latex balloons are technically biodegradable, they take a long time and some varieties are mixed with other chemicals and pigments which take even longer. Mylar balloons are not biodegradable. You can collect them and pop them into a TerraCycle box which does make them fully recyclable but balloons are not recyclable through mainstream programs.
I have lots of dreams where I can offer only non plastic products, all food and paper products were composted and all non-recyclable materials were TeraCycled. But of course, all these things cost more and how much does each individual consumer want to bear the cost? I obviously don't have all the answers- or any answers actually. But I am trying and thinking about it……

Just thinking about rainbows today and this amazing 1st birthday at the Basking Ridge Country Club
I love a custom water bottle! I work them into almost every party I do, that's how much I love them.
Who wants a pool party? 🙋♀️ Loved how this one came together.

When you are chilling drinks and serving cocktails over ice on a hot summer day, you are going going to need a lot of ice. And if you have ever wondered how much ice..... it's 3lbs of ice per person. I know. I know that seems like a lot, but it's better to have extra than running out for ice in the middle of your party. Party on my summer party people 🧊🥃🍸🍷🌞 #njeventplanner #njkidpartyplanner #partyplanning #partytips

I think plastic in our world is huge problem and I definitely believe in putting my money where my mouth is. I found these recycled cups and never looked back. When they came out with these compostable cups, game changer. You can even customize with a logo or pattern. Love them so much. Had to share. ❤️
I see you looking at those reels on how to build a balloon arch and how to build props out of foam board. Yes, you can do it because you are a capable woman who loves her child. But you also have a full time job, husband, kid activities and friends that want to hang out with you (and they don't want to help you blow up balloons after 2 glasses of wine). Just call me, we take the stress (and work) out of planning your kids' birthday. I have a link in my bio.... just click it. 🖱🌐🖥

Oh man, outdoor parties can be great or they can be a nightmare. When you have an outdoor party you introduce so many more variables like weather, wind, neighbors, and the local lawn guy that decides to start mowing as your guests arrive. Although, I can't control the weather and my contract definitely has a clause that reaffirms that fact. I so have a wealth of knowledge and tools to keep things on track.

Our weeks are legitimately crazy. Three kids, after school activities and trying to have a social life. The days are crazy full. I believe in asking/ hiring help when I physically can not keep up. You should too! We are not super people. Just a mom that sometimes looks like a superhero.
Mickey Mouse first birthday here we come. 🎈 If you want an Effortless 1st birthday experience, send an email today. Our clients were able to walk into their event like a guest. They were greeted with a cocktail and had some family time with our photographer who got some amazing shots that they will cherish for a long time. We even brought the candles.
@partyslate came out with their kid's birthday party 2024 theme predictions. Can't say I have anything to disagree with. Some are pretty classic and evergreen but definitely some fun trends on the horizon. What do you think is going to be huge is 2024?
