A new year has come and 2016 has big things in store for us. We’ve got three fresh, new party ideas to go along with events and movies of 2016!
1. Finding Dory Themed Party
We’ve wait been waiting for this one for a long time! The sequel to Disney’s Finding Nemo has finally arrived and I know it’s going to be a favorite for the year. The movie comes out this summer, so it’s perfect for summer swim parties. This is also a great gender neutral party! For food, keeping it light is best. PB&J sandwiches cut out fish shapes (use a cookie cutter), gold fish crackers, and watermelon cut out to look like an open mouth shark are a few simple ideas. Kids can run and grab a bite then head right back to the pool fun! Use a blue table cloth and tie some green streamers to the table to look like sea weed and you’re set!
2. Olympic Themed Party
The 2016 Olympic games are being held in Rio De Janiero, Brazil, and we are so excited about this theme! The possibilities are endless and ages don’t matter with this one. You can make your own mini Olympics with outdoor yard games like potato sack races, corn hole games, tug of war and a basketball shoot outs. Give gold, bronze and silver prizes to the winners. Have a decent amount of food since guests will be working hard. It would be a great time to grill out! Keep it simple for the main course—burgers and chips are easy. You can get fancy with your dessert by making cupcakes that look like the Olympic rings. Don’t forget to light a (tiki) torch!
3. Transit of Mercury Party
It’s been 10 years since we have been able to see the planet Mercury pass by Earth. This May, we will get to witness this spectacular event. Space themed parties are easy to put together and the main show will wow your guests. Have your telescope ready and be sure to have NASA’s website pulled up to see estimated viewing times. Just put out light snacks for your guests. Cheese puffs can be labeled as the planet Mercury, rice krispies cut out as stars, and last but not least, the Bomb rocket popsicles!
This year is going to be filled with many great memories and times to celebrate! For more great party tips and trends, visit the Wedding and Party Network Blog!
