It's no secret that everyone has a color; squint into your wardrobe and you'll find your costume-color. Squint at your lounge room and you'll find your easy-living color. Now squint at your kids and get a laugh. Whether you're aware of it or not, you're forever picking colors to add to your personal color palette; the color of you new shoes, the last car you bought, the cereal box you instinctively reach for, and even the next shade of hair color you chose to brave.
At Partycraft Secrets we love color. Color co-ordinating things is a quick and certain way of pulling a party together, making all your purchasing and crafting decisions easier, and it ensures that your party-photos will be a knock-out.
If you've followed our How To Host a Themed Party craft EBook, and the How-To Pick a Theme guide, then you've probably already established what the color scheme for your next party will be. If you haven't, then pull out the inspirational images you've collected and do the squint-test; half close your eyes and stare at the pictures you've collected (or even the invitation you have selected). What color(s) do you see most?
Congratulations – you now have your COLOUR-SCHEME!
Don’t be distressed if it’s not a “conventional” color scheme – remember, a unique party comes from original party theme ideas. Whether it’s pretty pastels or bright bolds, color coordinate everything - right down to the candles you put on the cake.
