the why

Entrance Decorations

Functional; identifies party location and directs guests to the entrance (especially useful for parties held in venues)
Welcoming; a warm welcome subliminally puts guests at ease (versus a bare/cold entrance)
First impressions matter; guests make judgments and form opinions quickly
Attention to detail; many people overlook the importance of having some entrance decorations to greet guests
Anticipation; exterior decorations build anticipation and tease what’s to come

this idea

Special occasions should feel special; generic ‘off the shelf’ decorations are lazy and unimaginative
Personalized; customized decorations are more special and show you made an effort
Custom photo; opportunity to show the guest of honor at different ages ‘through the years’
Sets the tone; signals that it’s going to be a fun event
Funny; quirky, lighthearted, or self-deprecating decorations will make guests smile
Entertaining; guests may not have seen funny or embarrassing old photos of the guest of honor
Memorable; guests remember creative, unusual, or unexpected decorations
Photo-worthy; a great photo-op for guests to share and tag on social media
Surprise; a great way to surprise the guest of honor as they arrive
Unusual; a less common party idea to impress guests
Bestseller; an idea that’s proved popular with many of my site’s visitors

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“These look best if you use a minimum of three different photos of the guest of honor, perhaps as a baby, teenager, and adult.

Alternatively, if you only have access to photos of them as an adult, still try to use three different photos. It just makes them more interesting to look at.“
