Party-Perfect Essentials

Creating your DIY projects just got so much easier, thanks to the amazing Command Brand Party Products from 3M. These genius items came across my desk recently, and I was duly impressed. They’re ideal for pre-wedding festivities, making it quick and easy to set up decorations for a bachelorette party, bridal shower, bridesmaids’ luncheon and more.

You can easily drape banners, paper signs and garlands or other stringed decorations using the Command Party Banner Anchors:

And with the Command Party Ceiling Hooks, you can suspend paper lanterns, pom-poms and other lightweight decorations.

Hang a cluster of balloons around the room with the Balloon Buncher (no more helium needed for balloons to reach some height!).

Mini Spring Clips are great for mounting photos, place cards and other lightweight items.

Here’s a look at some party décor set up with Command Brand products:

And the best part? Afterward, Command Brand products remove cleanly without damaging walls and surfaces. That’s right: no holes, marks, stains or any sticky residue to mar your pretty walls. Stress-free, quick-and-easy party planning… gotta love it! Look for the Command Party products in the party aisle at Walmart.

Now, with Halloween just days away, here’s a fun “Bat Bar” courtesy of partybluprints.com that you can easily create with the Command Party Products.

Get the Look:

• Visit your local craft or party store and purchase fake bats on stretchy strings, skulls, spiders and other spooky items.
• Suspend bats from the doorways, ceiling, molding (or from the bar, if you have one) with Command Brand clear wire hooks.
• Drape black gauze and hang a vampire cape for the backdrop.
• Fill test tubes (Command Brand clear caddies) with red punch, and garnish glasses with retro-striped straws and plastic vampire teeth.
• Then stock your “Bat Bar” with red drinks: punch, red wine, cranberry juice, tomato juice, cherry vanilla soda, etc.

Happy Halloween, Bat Fans!
