3. Hang balloons from the ceiling over the dessert table. We found these polka-dotted balloons at Hobby Lobby, and added a marble to make them hang down straight.

    I would never have thought hanging that fun cover would make such a difference. Anybody could do this and have it turn out great.

    What a great idea! I would never have thought of hanging the backdrop like you did. I always think of doing the backdrop against a wall instead of floating like that. Very creative! The whole setup looks great.
