Party Tip: Create digital invitations using a free platform like Canva and send via text, email or social media.

  2. Cloud Confetti: Sprinkle paper confetti in white and pastels to create a party atmosphere and mimic a sparkling sky in your party space.

  3. Twinkle Lights: Add a touch of magic with twinkle lights or fairy lights to simulate stars.

  4. Table Settings: Use cloud-shaped placemats, pastel-colored tableware, and cloud-shaped napkins. Consider adding cotton or other cloud like material as table decor.
