Entertaining in a Small Space

You don't have to have a huge, lavish house to throw a great party!  Even in a tiny apartment you can throw a party that your friends will be talking about for months to come.  Here's 5 things to make your party a hit!

Plan Your Invites Around The Space

Smaller living spaces can actually make a party feel more cozy and intimate.  Make sure you don't invite more people than can fit in your apartment.  The more the merrier though, so don't under invite either.  It's all about finding the perfect balance.

Create More Room

Make sure to give your apartment a good scrubbing before the party, then find ways to make more space in your place.  Move coffee tables and push big chairs and sofas against the walls.  Don't be afraid to completely arrange the space!

Show Off A Small Space

I've always loved the idea of filling a small space with helium balloons.  They're fun and colorful and make having a small space a positive instead of a negative!

Design a Mood

Think candle light and throw pillows.  You may not be trying to create an ultra romantic party, but candles create a great, warm light and can really light up a small room.  Add some throw pillows to instantly create extra seating.

Keep It Simple and Go For It!

Keep your food menu simple and don't be afraid to serve buffet style.  Don't mess with place settings and serving.  Let your guests relax, mingle and snack when they please.  Use your imagination, sense of style and just go for it!  Send out those evites today!
