There’s nothing like an end of summer shindig for having fun with your favourite people. If you’ve been wanting to throw together a big bash, there’s still time to make it happen. The folks at Lynn Valley Centre have some tips to make putting your soiree together simple. With so many stores all in one location, picking up your supplies will be a breeze. Follow these suggestions to start planning.

Choose a Theme

While a theme isn’t necessary for having a good time, it can really hype up the mood and tie everything together. Maybe you have a special upcoming birthday or anniversary to celebrate or perhaps you simply want to opt for a theme that complements this time of year such as a beach party or luau. Half the fun is putting your unique spin on the event, so unleash your creativity and make it unique.

You can always stop by Hallmark for things like invitations and party favors when you’ve chosen the perfect theme. iParty Dollar Store is packed with all sorts of party supplies and decorations to supply loads of fun details.

Plan a Menu

No party would be complete without great food. You can go all out with dishes related to your theme or opt for ultimate convenience and pick something up that’s pre-made.

Vendors like Kin’s Farm Market and Save-On Foods are sure to have the ingredients you need for the perfect dishes. Stop in to Westlynn Bakery for some sweet treats or grab a few pizzas at either FreshSlice Pizza or Domino’s. These are just some of the shops available to supply your soiree with some yummy food.

Set Up Your Space

Once you’ve decided on the ideal eats, you’ll want to set the mood even further by decorating your space. Head to iParty Dollar Store for streamers, balloons and other party decor to match your theme, and the team at Hallmark can assist you in adding the finishing touches with items like stationery and wrapping paper. Both of these stores can also assist you in putting together some fun games and activities to be sure there’s something on the agenda for everyone.

Prepare for Comfort and Fun

With a few week of summer left to enjoy, now’s the time to plan your next gathering with friends and family. There’s nothing like a party to express your creativity, bring folks together and have a blast. Hopefully, these ideas inspired you to start brainstorming your upcoming end of summer bash. Don’t forget, the shops at Lynn Valley Centre have the party resources you need all in one location for ease and convenience.
