Here's another great idea from the Cool Moms!--Diana
Decorating for a party is often times the best part of throwing one--well other than the obligatory French Onion dip--but when it's all over, you're often stuck with a tangle of used crepe paper, wrinkled banners, and paper signs. Toss them and you feel kind of bad. Keep them and, trust us, they won't look nearly as shiny or appealing in a year.
That's why we love the idea of a reusable banner, like the handmade oilcloth and chalkcloth designs from Chalkydoodles. Just choose how many panels you'll need--maybe one for each letter in your child's name, plus a few extras just in case. Dallas mom Lyn Pollard will hand create an adorable banner that works for any party, family gathering, or festive celebratory happening.
When the party's over, just wipe off the chalk and store the banner for the next bash. Who knew eco-friendly could be so easy? -Kristen & Liz, Co-founders, Cool Mom Picks
Did they really say decorating is the best part of a party? I'm embarrassed to say that decorating is usually an afterthought for me. It's all about the menu and the activity at our house! But I love the idea of the reusable banner. One less thing to forget to buy before the party--or throw away after. What about you? Has anyone tried a Chalkydoodle banner?
