Celebrations are on!

I think we can all agree, this is a strange time we live in, with celebrations being mostly cancelled or cut down to a very small group of people. How does one celebrate now? Whether or not you are celebrating a new baby, birthday or graduation we can help you celebrate while still following covid guidelines.


At Let’s Plan A Party, we have had to quickly pivot and begin offering amazing outdoor decor, celebration signs and activities for yards and at-home parties. You may have noticed fun and colorful balloons in your neighbors yard, and or the GIANT Yard party cards. We call this fun and vibrant decor “Yard Art”. Children of all ages faces literally light up when they see the colorful balloons in their front yards, made especially for them. All of our balloons and signs can be customized to your theme and budget. This little girl was beyond excited to see her fun Yard party sign and Party Pole.


You can also brighten someone’s day by simply sending them a “Thinking of you” party pole. These are really great for nursing homes, where we place them right outside the resident’s windows. Right now we have a nation wide #adoptagrandparent campaign that has been getting an amazing response. Please go to our website to support one of our local assisted living facilities. We want to make sure every facility has been fully adopted.


Below are a few more examples of our fun Yard Art and how YOU can continue to celebrate through Covid-19. Life has not stopped! Continue celebrating and showing your love and appreciation to all of your special someone with Yard Art Balloon Decorations and the most fun customized party signs. We can help!

Holiday Traditions That Bring Families Together Tree Decorating, Cozy Moments & a Classic Red Velvet Recipe The holidays are all about traditions—the little moments that turn into lifelong memories. From pulling out treasured ornaments to baking family recipes, these simple rituals are often what we remember most. Like our puppy photo shoots.  The Magic of Decorating the Tree Tree decorating is more than just hanging ornaments—it’s a moment to slow down and be together. Whether you decorate while sipping hot cocoa, playing holiday music, or sharing stories about where each ornament came from, it’s a tradition that brings generations together. Some families decorate all at once, while others add ornaments little by little throughout the season. No matter how you do it, the glow of the tree sets the tone for the holidays ahead. Making Space for Together Time Holiday traditions don’t have to be elaborate. Cozy pajamas, twinkling lights, laughter, and shared experiences are what truly make the season special. These moments remind us to pause, be present, and enjoy the people around us. Matching family and Pup PJS. Creating Traditions That Last Whether it’s decorating the tree, baking together, or hosting a holiday celebration, traditions create the moments we carry with us long after the season ends. However you celebrate, may your holidays be filled with warmth, joy, and meaningful memories.
