PLANNING a party can often feel like a daunting task – especially when you’re trying to stick to a budget while still aiming to create something truly memorable.
From decorations to food and entertainment, there’s a lot to consider to
The pressure to deliver an impressive event can sometimes leave you wishing you could just hire a professional party planner, but their services don’t come cheap.
That’s why it’s always helpful to discover clever that professionals use to elevate their parties – and it’s even better when those tricks are cost-effective.
One such hack comes courtesy of Marissa, known as ‘marissashacks’ on TikTok, who recently shared a simple yet ingenious tip for creating party decorations that look like they were arranged by a pro.
In her viral video, Marissa demonstrated how to use just four strips of tape – which currently cost 60p per roll on Temu (covering 15 yards) – to create a stunning balloon display.
At under 10p per strip of tape, it’s an affordable solution for anyone looking to add a touch of flair to their celebration.
Explaining that she picked up this trick from a professional party planner, Marissa began by cutting a strip of tape and attaching a hairband to the wall.
She then used by securing the other side of the hairband to the wall.
Once the square was in place, she grabbed a bunch of pre-tied balloons and slid them through the hairband.
This clever technique allows the balloons to stay securely attached to the wall, eliminating any worry about them falling down mid-party.
Marissa revealed that this is a she wishes she’d known about sooner.
Her video, shared on 24 April this year, quickly gained traction and has since gone viral, amassing an impressive 7.3 million views and 1,198 comments.
Fans of the hack were quick to share their excitement. One viewer commented: “Now baby, that’s a hack.”;
Another added: “Throwing myself a party just so I can do this.”;
Meanwhile, a third said: “LOL the contraptions I’ve come up with to keep my balloons up only for them to inevitably fall... Thank you!”;
