- 1). Find a photo that matches your theme on a stock photo site such as istockphoto.com or thinkstock.com. Print out the photo on sticker paper in a size that will fit around plastic or paper cups and plates.
- 2). Instead of buying confetti and table cloths, use a solid colored cloth with place mats in another color related to your theme. For example, a pink table cloth and red place mats for a Valentine's Day party, or a red table cloth with green place mats for a Christmas party.
- 3). Create your own candy swag bags by placing the gifts or candy between two pieces of tissue, twisting them on the top and securing them with a piece of ribbon. Again, the tissue and ribbon can be done in contrasting colors to go with the theme of your party. The more of these small bags you create, the more they can be used as decorations as well. Use them as place settings or scatter them around the table for confetti-like decorations.
