What does a party decorator do?

A party decorator is responsible for designing, planning, and setting up decorative elements for events such as birthdays, weddings, corporate gatherings, and other celebrations. Their work includes selecting themes, colors, and materials, arranging flowers, balloons, lighting, and table settings to create a visually appealing atmosphere. They collaborate with clients to understand their vision and budget, and often coordinate with other vendors to ensure a cohesive look for the event.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a party decorator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Party Decorator, you need a creative eye for design, solid knowledge of color schemes and event themes, and often some experience or training in event planning or interior design. Familiarity with tools such as balloon inflators, floral arrangement supplies, and event setup software is typically required. Excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving skills help decorators exceed client expectations and adapt to last-minute changes. These skills ensure visually appealing, well-coordinated events that delight clients and guests while minimizing stress and errors.

What are some common challenges party decorators face when coordinating with other vendors and event staff?

Party Decorators often work closely with caterers, florists, event coordinators, and venue staff to ensure the overall event vision is achieved. One common challenge is managing timing and logistics, as setup windows can be tight and must align with other vendors’ schedules. Effective communication and flexibility are essential to resolve last-minute changes or unexpected issues. Building strong relationships with other event professionals helps ensure a smooth setup and a successful event.

What is the difference between Party Decorator vs Event Decorator?

AspectParty DecoratorEvent Decorator

Work EnvironmentPrimarily in party venues, homes, or outdoor settings for celebrationsInvolves various event settings like conferences, weddings, and corporate events
Industry UsageCommonly used in social and private celebration industriesUsed across broader event planning and management sectors

While both Party Decorators and Event Decorators focus on enhancing event aesthetics, Party Decorators typically specialize in smaller, social celebrations like birthdays and parties, often with less formal training. Event Decorators work on a wider range of events, including corporate and large-scale functions, often requiring more extensive planning and certifications.

How do you become a party decorator?

To become a party decorator, gain experience in event planning, design, or floral arrangement, and develop skills in creativity, organization, and customer service. Building a portfolio of your work and learning to use decorating tools and materials can help establish your reputation. Some decorators pursue certifications or training courses to improve their skills and credibility.

Job description

THE ROLE

Quality Control Specialist

Reporting directly to the Quality Assurance Manager, the Quality Control Specialist oversees embroidery decoration quality across three critical touchpoints: pre-production approval, inventory receive, and handling overage returns at third-party decorator operations, and final shipping verification. Your job is to catch defects before they leave the building, build quality standards with our external decorator partners, and ensure every customer receives perfect work. This is a high-accountability role for someone who combines technical embroidery knowledge with vendor management skills and an obsession with getting it right.

 This is a fully on-site role, Monday through Friday during regular business hours at our third party decoration facility in Oxnard, CA.

Responsibilities

  • Own pre-production approval - review art proofs from 3P decorators and assess sew-out  samples against order specifications (placement, sizing, color match, stitch quality, trademark symbols); approve or reject with detailed written notes before production begins.
  • Manage third-party decorator relationships - establish quality standards with our 3P decorators, and other partners; conduct inspections during production runs and review finished samples before shipment.
  • Perform final shipping inspections - visually and tactilely inspect all decorated items for loose threads, puckering, seam integrity, color accuracy, and placement precision; pull non-conforming work and route to rework or disposal.
  • Track and communicate quality metrics - maintain detailed records of all approvals, rejections, and rework; document defect trends by decorator and order type; report monthly on quality performance and escalate issues to Operations Manager.
  • Conduct daily quality audits with 3P decorators - review performance data, identify root causes of defects, and collaborate on corrective action plans to drive continuous improvement.
  • Maintain complete audit trail - document all quality decisions in Cadence, maintain photographic records of pre-pro approvals, and organize digital quality files for compliance and dispute resolution.
  • Support order management - coordinate closely with Order Management Coordinator on rush orders, approval timeline changes, and delivery commitment risks driven by quality issues.

Qualifications

Required

  • 2+ years of experience in a Quality Assurance, Inspection, or Control environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to set and enforce quality standards; experience managing vendor or decorator relationships a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable drafting detailed approval/rejection notes and briefing management on quality trends.
  • Meticulous attention to detail; calm under pressure; solutions-oriented mindset.
  • Physical ability to stand for extended periods and perform detailed visual inspections of garments and decorated products

Preferred: 

  • Experience in embroidery production, quality control, or decoration operations with hands-on knowledge of embroidery standards (stitch quality, density, color accuracy, placement).
  • Proficiency with embroidery software (Wilcom, Tajima, Hatch, or similar) for file review and digitizing verification.
  • Proficient with Cadence, Printavo, Google Sheets, and photography documentation systems.
  • Experience with heat transfer, sew-on labels, or screen printing as additional decoration types.
  • Familiarity with Madera thread colors and color-matching workflows; certification in Quality Assurance.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: 

  • This is a fully on-site role, present Monday through Friday during shift hours.
  • Ability to stand and walk the production floor for extended periods throughout the shift.
  • Lifting up to 40 pounds - moving garment boxes, supplies, and equipment.
  • Ability to work in a production environment with machinery noise, ink, and chemical exposure (PPE provided).

Pay: $24.50/hr with overtime opportunities available.
