kids room decor diy image
Ferris
I'll be opening my boutique "Crush" in South Texas. I buy, sell and trade clothing. (I also buy from places that sell to WetSeal.com / Gojane.com)
I sell both name brand and non-name brand clothing and DIY/vintage items. I also sell shoes,handbags, accessories, makeup, unique home decor, art and more.
I have made the entrance a lounge. This room contains the check out/front desk and makeup display. It also has a couch, coffee table, TV, magazine rack and free coffee/cookies. I will have coloring books for kids.
The next room has all the clothing and accessories sorted into different sizes/styles.Connected to this room are dressing rooms.
I have made the entire store have a comfortable, artsy and non-cluttered feel to it. The pricing is low, an Abercrombie shirt might cost you around 9/10 bucks.
I've collected a great deal of good ideas for my store and now I'm asking for something else.
I need some REALLY great ideas for the grand opening! What can I do to make the day amazing?
Answer
well, all my ideas will be inexpensive. One: don't forget balloons and crepe paper, the cheapest thing of all in decorations. 2) have finger sandwiches, you can make with tuna, chicken salad, etc. 3) have coffee (good hotel brand)
and good brewed hot tea and good ice tea at a table.
4) serve homemade cookies or little tea cakes 5) Have a brochure about your boutique, who you are, done in elegant style (use your computer for the flyer) 6) Add a 10% coupon to the flyer for them, works wonders for business.
7) can give the women a carnation for coming 8)
can give a small item with the name of your boutique, say a pen, comb, notepad, magnet for refrigerator.
9) can do a roster of those who show up, send them a thank you note for coming 10) get a roster of each individual's needs, sizes, etc.
Hope all these marketing ideas help. I am sure there are dozens of others. Just remember, it doesn't have to be expensive. Can have quiet Classical music playing in the background. Tailor your choices to your clientele.
Make those who are there feel like they are royalty.

Answer
We just did an "Under the Big Top" party for my son's first birthday.
We served hot dogs, popcorn, bags of cotton candy, circus peanuts, soft pretzels, etc. If you have a lot of friends, you can ask around and see if anyone has a hot dog roller cooker, a popcorn maker, a cotton candy machine or a snow cone maker to make it really authentic.
For decor, we used a red and white theme. We had red plastic tableclothes and we draped white streamers around the front. We also took red and white streamers and hung them in the center of the room and twisted the two colors together and took them out to each corner and then let them hang down to the floor so it resembled a Big Top Circus Tent. We also sat stuffed circus animals (elephants, a giraffe, some lions) around (we even made little paper collars for them that resembled something you would see in the circus).
For the cake, we had a friend make us a 3D peanut cake but you can find circus cakes for $24.99 at the grocery store bakery.
We also printed out signs and glued them onto cardboard and sat them around. They said things like "Please don't feed the elephants!" and "Step Right Up!"
We did a few games, too. We printed out tickets that we designed on the computer.
For a duck pond, we got some rubber ducks from orientaltrading.com and wrote 1, 2 and 3 on different ducks and we put them in a kiddie pool (or you could use a bathtub if it's inside) and let the kids pick them out.
We put baby food jars in a diaper box that we cut down to 1" higher than the top of the jars and had kids throw ping pong balls at them like in a goldfish toss. Instead of winning real fish, they won little bags of goldfish crackers.
If you google "Circus Birthday Party" or "Big Top Birthday Party" you will find all kinds of inspiration.
I think in total, we wound up spending $80 for everything but we did as much DIY as possible and we used freecycle.com to get some of the materials. Be creative and it will turn out great!
