Transformed Home: Prepare for the Ultimate Bash with These 28 Party-Ready Upgrades for Your Next Soiree
Hosting a memorable party doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right supplies, you can create an atmosphere that's fun, convenient, and visually appealing. While the BuzzFeed staff's top 25 party supplies for 2025 aren't directly available, we can draw inspiration from their typical recommendations and general expert party tips.
Lighting
Create a warm and inviting ambiance with an outdoor string of lights that emits a soft, warm glow, perfect for patio gatherings. For a more vibrant and energetic vibe, consider a multicolour party light that syncs with the beat of the music. If you're planning an epic glow party, a pair of black lights with fluorescent tape for decoration will do the trick.
Decor
Themed decorations, such as balloons, banners, and tablecloths, are essential for setting the mood. A funky poster that glows brilliantly under black light can add a unique touch to your decor. Don't forget about fringed foil curtains, which not only serve as a pretty party decor but also make a great backdrop for photos.
Seating and Comfort
Provide comfortable seating for your guests with a lounge pillow that's thick, comfortable, and easy to clean. For outdoor events, an outdoor rug pulls a seating area together, and its warm tones make the space feel cozy in the fall.
Food and Drinks
Easy Cocktails is a book with recipes for party drinks, each made with four ingredients or less. A handheld citrus squeezer filters out seeds and pulp when making margaritas, while a durable pitcher can be used for hot beverages. A neon bar sign dresses up a liquor shelf and is suitable for parties where beverage mixing is a must.
Entertainment
Keep your guests entertained with a tumble tower game that stacks up to five feet tall, inspired by Jenga, or a mini pool table, which is compact, allowing for other games and festivities. A What Do You Meme? card game set provides laughter, cringe, and more, with each player matching their funniest (or most inappropriate) card to a chosen meme.
Photography
An Instax Camera allows for instant printing of party photos, making great keepsakes and party favors. A set of nesting bowls made of bamboo is great for party snacks and won't shatter if knocked over. A tube of face and body glitter gel provides a little sparkle for parties, and a little goes a long way.
Practicality
A pack of paper cups is for clumsy friends who can't handle glass and for situations when clean cups run out. A pair of durable wine glasses can withstand nightly use and are also suitable for everyday stemware. A wireless doorbell camera alerts when someone comes and allows for communication or recording a message when not at home.
Portability
A patio table also serves as a cooler for adult beverages, with an adjustable top to conceal the inside when not in use. A Bluetooth speaker provides up to 12 hours of playtime and is waterproof for all-night jams. A portable Bluetooth speaker is a must for outdoor events, ensuring your music follows you wherever you go.
Safety and Security
A full-fledged juicing machine separates peels and rinds for craft cocktail and mocktail making, while a bottle opener has a Western aesthetic, suitable for a hoedown party. A set of nesting bowls made of bamboo is great for party snacks and won't shatter if knocked over.
Party Games and Activities
A 11-piece cocktail set upgrades a bar and includes super cute cocktail cards with recipes for classics. A pack of glow sticks includes mini attachments for turning them into bracelets, anklets, and necklaces. A tube of face and body glitter gel provides a little sparkle for parties.
