When it's time to throw your first party, what do you do? Head to pinterest, of course!

That means I've turned to Pinterest for inspiration on everything from a possible menu to creative and budget-friendly decorations. Please feel free to give me any tips you have! Here's what I've rounded up so far.
Twinkle, twinkle
I plan on hanging as many lights from the ceiling as I can. I want to create a glowing, festive, etherial environment that makes my friends feel like they're somewhere magical.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXvicHMM8zxlQzGyzAyudTQnM7nAw00nV2cn6QMfxA3hw96dlbwdRxifAbN5ZVTzH8k-lxk7AvQ9ZdFHKLpoFiPuldDrvhAINs4jzwJ4I6jLgMTYmOsElgedrAykj-s4CvicIylbJMZc/s1600/6.jpg)
Sip one, Sip two
Though there won't be any red Solo cups, I do want to have a drink or two (or three) at the party. I'm working on a festive punch recipe including rum, amaretto and other delicious ingredients. I love cranberries included as garnish!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY3K4feS9vZc_wmL2z9u-2-vUN94aeXlu7D3jezvU6pTm-H4WiaqUWFKfmY6dyIWXfFq3XLQ995wC94G1FIzj87i_MiamrAprVl5UoI9PxCsDzxBl3XJE0Fgbpb-Gpd2qCrR9dVNdzGCc/s1600/9.png)
Hor d'oeuvres, anyone?
I want to skip the basic chips & dip party platter and do something that feels more homemade. Realistically, I know I won't want to spend all day cooking, so I'm working on finding recipes that are easy and creative.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhle__xZhsSxxrin35hF1gTfhzLtgu_Rg7zicL0oDKs-V2vh_JB6Hyhua9Yt8HtSQDZ1t0pInIOY8Mj1gfPca5rmlYE16qzcOi6mJlsta5pvKBNorm74xH-Uw0_dSaeVhW-MkVLIvIckvw/s1600/caprese-meatballs_12-12-14_3_ca.jpg)
All of the lights
To decorate, I'm working on a candle centerpiece. I don't want a fire hazard, so I'll keep it simple, but I think if done right, it'll add more brightness to the already twinkling decorations.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdotjtjSap_juY8v_FmKQ7oEIDnvkjqmaOYiwvcb_6rvGlb-ocbnhnDT6Eax20jc49PoAU_iqejYb2z__FrdLrdtdCnasWwbOeWQrGS_LwZzr_y0Us4B8VvoWHs6iggFn_-iXGlKhqVF8/s1600/2.jpg)
