Frequently Asked Questions

How can I create safe sparkle effects for a celestial theme?
Use paper stars, glitter-free metallics, and avoid loose glitter around babies. Opt for metallic paper, foil, or fabric stars instead of loose glitter for safety.
What are some alternatives to traditional confetti for the reveal?
Use paper stars, metallic streamers, or fabric stars that are easy to clean up and safe for all guests. Avoid small pieces that could be choking hazards.
How can I create a starry atmosphere indoors?
Use battery fairy lights, paper star garlands, and navy backdrops with gold accents. Create depth with different sizes of stars and strategic lighting.
