A birthday is an annual event everyone loves to celebrate. Celebrations for birthdays can be a small as 2 to 20 guests, medium party 21-75 guests and large from 75- 250 guests or more. Depending on the size of your party, a fun filled sweet theme can be a great way to entertain decorate and please your guests.
The birthday process starts by sending out a unique ‘candy theme’ invitation that will allow the guests to get excited about the party and make sure they jot it down on their calendar as an event not to miss. What could be more fun than a birthday centered around ‘fun, colorful, personalized and delicious candy’! A fun invitation with candy attached or a candy theme picture on it will tip off the guests to what they can expect when they attend the especially sweet treat event. It’s always fun to receive an invitation with an edible treat attached! The invitation can match all the other items for the party so you have a ‘one stop shop’ and your party will all be coordinated beautifully. A matching reply card can be included for the guest to respond if they can attend, so you will have an idea of how many guest to plan for. When choosing an invitation, you should choose a company that offers invites with lots of style, whether it be polka dot fun, elegant damasks, or a whimsical flair. Maybe the birthday year highlighted in the invite and the designs. An added plus is a company that lets thebuyerchoose not only the design but also chooses their colors for their party with coordinated ribbon and other adornments added to the invitation. Sometimes there is a special theme that is dear to the birthday honoree, such as a special year: 1st birthday, Sweet 16 Birthday, Sweet 15 or Quinceanera Birthday, 21st Birthday, “over the hill” parties of the honoree turning 40, 50, 60. 70 80, 90 or 100 or may be a combination party such as 1st Birthday and Christening Day or Naming Day. A company that has an on staff artist that can offer lots of designs and can incorporate your special theme can be a great plus to purchase from them.
Today’s birthday parties are highlighted by purchasing a ‘dream cake’. This has become such a modern day trend that there are TV shows about ‘Cake Decorators’, such as ‘Cake Boss.’ If your cake is going to be the focal point of the event, choose a candy centerpiece company that has an artist on staff that can make a design to match the cake décor. This can be a delightful way to pull the whole party together with candy labels, table cards, place cards all matching the cake design!
If the party calls for the guests to be seated at tables, candy centerpieces in the center of each table can be the focal point of the luncheon or dinner party. Candy Sticks and Lollipops with personalized labels tags, and bows attached make it easy for the party organizer or the party planner to just purchase a pretty glass vase and pop just them in the vase. These centerpiece candies can be purchased fully assembled or partial assembly in order to save money. Pretty glass vases can be found at the $1.00 stores, at Michael’s, Target and other craft stores. Another option is to check your local party rental and rent the vases that are just needed for that day only. If it’s a buffet candy bar, a few candy arrangements can be chosen as well as individual candies such as mini Hershey bars, swirling lollipops, trident gum favors, lifesavers candies, M&M’s, and skittles candies with matching design labels. Candy Centerpieces can be used at the tables or on a buffet table in lieu of flowers, and each candy item will be a favor for the guest to take home at the end of the party. Each candy item will have a label with the design chosen, event name, the honoree’s name and the date of the event on the personalized card, label or tag attached to the candy. All of this can be done in colors to match the party theme colors. Matching design of table number cards or header cards can adorn the top of the centerpiece. The design can be matching to the invitations they have received. Other decorations can be a matching design on a banner or sign, cupcake wrappers, napkin rings and cupcake toppers. If your party has table seating, a matching candy theme design place card can be used with the table number and have the name of the guest written on it. Candy can even be attached to the place card to make it even more special. A fun idea is to use the candy invite as a menu card for guests if a lunch or dinner is served. If a plain menu card is used, select a company with matching designs for the menu cards which can also be included in the invite as a reply card with their meal checked off.
Candy can also be added to favorfulls, a clear plastic container adorned with a personalized design and a topper bow to use as center pieces or special gifts for the guests. Favorfulls can be filled with M&M’s, skittles, Hershey Mini Chocolate Bars, gumdrops, coated chocolate almonds, gum balls, or other bite sized candy. The candy centerpieces serve as the centerpiece decoration and a party favor for each guest when they leave the party! Don’t forget to order matching thank you cards or personalized note cards in a matching design for the birthday honoree to thank her guests after the party is over. If there is going to be a dance, candy theme songs can be played such as ‘ Lollipop Lollipop oh Lolli Lolli Lolli Lollipop.’
A candy theme birthday party offers a fun party filled with color, designs and fun tasting treats for your guests and make this a party they will always remember. Don’t forget a great thank you slogan “It was sweet of you to come!” Kids of all ages love candy!
