Make Your Holidays Sweet With Party Tips From Casey's Cupcakes

STUDIO CITY (KCAL9) — Keep things sweet this holiday season!

Casey Reinhardt from Casey's Cupcakes stopped by KCAL9 Wednesday to share some holiday party tips.

Here are her tips:

Plan ahead

The first step to a stress-free holiday party is planning ahead! Set a budget and make a list and don't forget to place your order at Casey's Cupcakes and/or shop ahead for your holiday party!

Choose the right color scheme

Whether you choose something traditional like red and green, or work with shades of white and blue to give an icicle affect it's good to stay within that color scheme throughout the table. Try using bright, vibrant colors to evoke the feeling of holiday joy and warmth.

Sweeten holiday parties by creating a festive and customized tablescape without spending a lot of money

Like Casey's Cupcakes, a memorable holiday party is all about the details. Add unique touches that provide your guests with special experiences, such as customizing their own cupcakes or a fun candy bar – which also provides the perfect gift to take home!

Sweeten the party with the perfect menu that can be prepared in advance

Incorporate a variety of sweet treats throughout dessert buffets, including cupcakes (of course), as well as cupcake lollipops, miniature cakes and cookies. Everything is sweet and petite! The best part is that you can pick up a lot of these treats ahead of time, even the cupcakes can be made in advance, making the actual party a little more stress-free, and giving you more time to mix and mingle with guests.

Use inexpensive and reusable decorations to help set the festive mood

Instead of buying expensive holiday decorations at the store, decorate your tables with gorgeous fresh flowers, which always make an immediate, stunning impact for not a lot of money. To create a fun and whimsical setting, decorate with apothecary jars filled with candy, candles and lovely linens — all things you can reuse! And don't forget the music – a key element to setting a festive tone at any party!
