Anniversary party decoration

However, to focus the central space, place a strong light from above but not as invasive as to take away from the candles.
2. We recommend leaving space for you to dance some ballads or flamenco. To do this, clear the place, illuminate the center well and let your imagination run wild.
3. Let your outfit stand out; get very elegant, it's your anniversary. Make all your neighbors know how much you love that man or that woman.

Tips

The architecture of the balconies will go down in history as one of the metaphors of hope in times of crisis. Shared gardens are now the medium for a new form of socializing that has flourished in the midst of a pandemic.

Your digital records of all the events that you carry out or that your neighbors carry out will be historical evidence of a social situation that we will never forget. Take into account that these are expressions of a society that flourishes in the midst of the crisis.

Now, yes or yes we learned to know our neighbors more closely; sharing a song from a distance, listening to a song and even singing a prayer in duet. In reality, the balcony parties have come to be evidence of the Spanish's optimism and spirit of resilience.

The press has already recorded different traditional celebrations that have been held from the balconies; even the less traditional ones, such as the Pride Festival in Madrid, were celebrated virtually from many balconies; where the participants identified themselves with their rainbow flag and other elements. So you no longer have an excuse not to participate in this new trend.

For this reason, we suggest that you take into account the following tips, not literally, but from your style:

1. Prudence and respect is the key to the celebrations. Balcony parties are meant to cheer up your closest neighbors, not bummer them all night. Therefore, it is best to have your balcony party last between one and three hours. Then, you can continue your celebration inside your apartment or lower the volume of the music so as not to bother anyone.
2. If you are going to give a concert, you have to review all the technical details before launching yourself into the public. Like any presentation in a theater or venue, all the sound details must be well defined so that your event is well appreciated and unforgettable.
3. As for your attire, we recommend you be careful with your clothing. Remember, shared patios have shared rights and if you suddenly go out in your underwear to celebrate on your balcony it could be taken as indecent exposure and even harassment. It is better to avoid bad times and legal problems with your neighbors and leave yourself dressed appropriately for the occasion.
4. Another important detail is the vocabulary. It is necessary to use a respectful and prudent vocabulary. Remember, it's about raising everyone's spirits, not looking for lawsuits or getting into fights with a neighbor.
5. You can get organized with your neighbors and make each balcony a space to party all night. You get some reflectors, a good sound, that one of the happiest is the host and you will see that those bacons will become the best album of your life.
6. Imagination flies with so many ways to organize balcony parties, let us know what you think of this new trend. If you have lived an experience, tell us how you have organized it and how it seemed to you, your contributions are the most valuable part of this post.
