Birthday Parties
Balloons, piñatas and cake are a given, but these unique tips are sure
to enliven any birthday, no matter what age you’re celebrating.
Birthday Parties
* Serve hummus in tiny martini glasses with a few breadsticks and sliced veggie
sticks pre-dipped into the glass.
* Surround tea lights with decorative Washi tape for fun, festive, customized
candles all around the house.
* A “Guess How Many?” jar lled with candy, ping-pong balls or other goodies
is a great way to create an “event within an event”.
* Use the small paper cups (commonly found in the bathroom or kitchen) to
create a colorful light garland by cutting an “X” in the bottom of each cup
and poking Christmas lights through the bottom of the cup.
* Cover the walls with giant “confetti” by cutting 5” circles from different
colored paper, then sticking them to the wall randomly with paint-safe
sticky tack.
* When serving cotton candy on a stick at an evening event, place glowsticks
inside the paper tube for a glowing treat.
* Dip the bottoms of wine glasses in chalkboard paint so guests can write their
names on them with chalk to keep them from getting mixed up. A fun and
creative alternative to wine charms!
* Cored strawberries lled with cheesecake lling and chilled overnight make
simple and delicious bite-size snacks to bring to any event. (Always a big hit!)
* Use a paint pen to turn common ofce staples into gold (or any color) to
match your event invitations or favors.
* Use sparklers instead of candles on a birthday cake (or just one on a cupcake)
for an even bigger birthday celebration! (Note: It can get smoky if done indoors,
so make sure you can open doors and/or windows if you light more than one.)
