the why

overhead decorations

  • Visibility; overhead decorations remain visible when the room is full of people
  • Intimacy; lowers the ceiling, reduces empty space, and makes large rooms and cavernous venues feel more full, which helps create a buzzy atmosphere
  • Focal points; decorations above bars, food stations, dance floors, or activities can identify their location in large or crowded rooms

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

If you’re stacking these on bars or tables that will have lots of passing traffic, use glue dots to secure each box in place, otherwise someone will knock into them and send them tumbling.

Consider adding a battery operated LED votive candle / tea light or flashing balloon light (see links below) to each box to bring them to life with color and light.

You can also hang these from the ceiling using these damage-free removable ceiling hooks.

Or use them as creative signage by spelling out ‘Bar’, ‘Eat’, ‘Dance’ etc to identify different areas.”
