- Exciting theme ideas
- Tropical paradise: Transform your back garden into a vibrant oasis of colours, encourage guests to wear Hawaiian shirts and serve fruity cocktails in pineapples or coconuts.
- Beah bonanza: Bring your party to the beach with inflatable pools and sand boxes. Use beach towels to decorate and serve seafood delights and beachside snacks.
- Fiesta: Spice up the party with a colourful Mexican theme, use colourful piñatas and dish up delicious cuisine such as tacos, quesadillas and churros. Don’t forget to include a lively playlist of salsa and merengue to keep everyone dancing!
- Garden tea party: Create an elegant and refined atmosphere with a tea party full of vintage teapots, delicate chine and floral centrepieces. Encourage guests to dress in their finest attire and offer a variety of teas, finger sandwiches and scones.
- Games & entertainment
- Beer pong: Set up a long table with plastic cups filled with beverages on each end. Divide guests into two teams and aim to throw as many ping pong balls as possible into the opposite teams cups. Last team standing wins!
- Limbo contest: Set up a limbo pole using a broom or long stick. Play lively music and have guests take turns going under the pole without touching it. Gradually lower the pole until only the most flexible guest remains.
- DIY photo booth: Create a designated area with fun props and backdrops where guests can take turns striking poses and capturing memorable moments.
- Water balloon toss: Divide guests into pairs and give each pair a water balloon. Participants throw the balloon to one another and gradually step back after each successful catch. The last pair with a balloon intact wins!
