(NAPSA)—Preston Bailey, party planner to the stars, has a few tips to help make your next celebration a memorable affair. Preston is a strong believer in expressing your individuality with personalized home dcor, decorations and party favors. So, before the stress sets in and panic takes over, here are some great ideas from Preston: * Use what you already have but in a different capacity—Grab a few ordinary glass vases and fill them with colorful ornaments and pine cones for a natural dcor accent. This is a simple way to bring a holiday motif to the dining room table, fire mantel or coffee table. Personalize your decorations—You can create unique photo ornaments, wrapping paper, candle wraps and more to decorate your home. Afraid you are not the creative type? Then visit www.hp.com/go/Preston Bailey where you'll find easy-tofollow directions and downloadable templates for great designs. It’s all in the family—Make a couple of your friends and family the exclusive party photographers. Instead of giving the responsibility to one person, makeit a shared experience and you'll get a variety of shots. Share memories—Bring the coolest accessory to your party—the HP Photosmart 428 Photo Studio. You and your guests can easily take pictures with the included 5-megapixel camera and then print your favorite party photos on the spot via the printer’s built-in camera docking system.
