Implications - Adding an element of bonding to celebratory occasions like weddings and birthdays, consumers are turning to DIY crafts as a method of peer-to-peer engagement.

2. DIY Decor - DIY projects allow customization and affordability, resulting in chic and unique party accents.
3. Handmade Party Decor - Handcrafted decor adds a unique personality and authenticity to parties that elevates guest experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Event Planning Industry - By incorporating handmade party decor and providing interactive, hands-on stations, event planners can create a more engaging experience for their clients and guests.
2. Craft Supply Industry - Craft supply companies can take advantage of the communal crafting trend by promoting group activities that foster social interactions and offering DIY kits for customizable party decor.
3. Online Retail Industry - Online retailers can curate collections of handmade party decor and DIY kits that appeal to budget-conscious consumers who desire unique and personalized party accents.
