Add some glitter to your party: 4 tips for a zero waste celebration
The party is a moment of freedom and joy! Music, friends and good humor are the essential ingredients for a successful celebration. However, in the euphoria of the moment, we sometimes forget that the evenings are also synonymous with pollution. What if you changed the situation and made eco-responsible resolutions for your festivities? From biodegradable glitter for your makeup to eco-friendly decor, here are our best tips for a zero waste party.
Homemade dishes
Who says party, often says buffet or aperitif. For a waste-free celebration, forget about single-use crockery and cutlery. Also consider reducing your use of plastic packaging. So, opt for homemade preparations. For example, have fun making your own crackers and biscuits instead of buying them from a supermarket. For a delicious and authentic birthday, bake the cake yourself. Or, be even more ingenious to concoct seasonal dishes with organic and local ingredients.
100% eco-friendly decor
A birthday, a wedding, Christmas or even New Year… Whatever event you are celebrating, it must be at the top in terms of decoration. So, go for eco-friendly and reusable accessories. Did you know, for example, that there are garlands made of fabric, burlap or even cardboard? They will be perfect for organizing a zero waste party. Are you a DIY expert? Make your own decoration with natural elements: branches, tree bark, dried flowers, coconuts... And why not make your own homemade candles by adding a touch of shine with biodegradable glitter?
Biodegradable makeup and natural accessories
In the evening or at a festival, you like to shine brightly in the middle of the crowd. Your look is flashy and original. So, for a sparkling zero waste party, opt for natural glitter. At Si Si La Paillette, we offer biodegradable glitter kits in multiple colors. Made from plants, they respect all skin types and enhance all complexions. Without harmful substances, they do not pollute and can be freely applied to the face, eyelids and the entire body. Perfect your look with glittery earrings and you're ready to light up the night!
Eco-responsible gifts for a zero waste party
The party is a moment of sharing. Colleagues, friends, family… We generally like to please our loved ones with gifts. On the occasion of a birthday, a wedding, a housewarming or simply to pamper your hosts, surprise them with a little attention. But while taking care of the planet. For example, you can offer handcrafted gifts purchased locally. Also think about second hand with pretty upcycled clothes, eco-friendly jewelry or even intangible gifts like concert tickets, a trip or a cultural visit... For an even more personalized present, make yourself a pretty object of decoration. And to express your love in the most brilliant way, incorporate a hint of glitter into your creation!
