beach table decorating ideas image
SiG
I am having a hard time making it not just a luau and not just a baby shower. Does anyone have some ideas that unify the two? Thanks!
Answer
I had this theme for my baby shower! Hang a clothesline on the wall behind either the gift table or the food table with baby swimsuits, swim hat, sun glasses, sunscreen, etc. I didn't do this idea but I wanted to. What I did was just made the colors bright. Each table had a different colored table cloth and I scattered play sand (not a lot) over top with a bright sand bucket in the middle as decoration. I wanted everyone to make a scrapbook page so I filled the buckets with markers and stuff they could decorate with (glue, foam stickers, etc) all beach/Hawaiian theme. So maybe that's what you could go for? Maybe more of a Hawaiian beach theme? On the tables there were grass skirts hanging along the edge and the cupcakes had little umbrellas with tiny flip flops. Thank the bakers for that one. They also made edible sand out of sugar somehow. CUTE. I also served lemonade and made somewhat of a tropical punch. In the background I played beach music. I had fake fish nets that I hung here and there with shells stuck in it. Using beach decorations with BRIGHT colors made it less of a luau and somewhat of a baby shower but not entirely. I was worried it wouldn't look like a baby shower but it sort of had just a nice tropical flair. Yes someone threw this for me but she wasn't about decorating so I took over!

Activity and other idea suggestions for a high school graduation party this summer?
Donna G
My son graduated high school this year and we need help planning and coming up with ideas for the party. Family friends, his friends, and relatives will attend so we need activities for all ages. Also any decor ideas/special touches would be helpful. His colors are greens, browns, and blues--he's a nature lover.
**No ideas involving alcohol please.**
Answer
I hope you can get some help from this:
Planning
This depends on your budget. You do have to cover:
Invitations and Postage
Centrepieces
Balloons
Flowers
Food
Drinks
Tableware
Photographer
Caterer, perhaps
Entertainment
Equipment Rental, if required
Favors and Prizes
Other Stationery, eg for Thank Yous
Perhaps you have decided on the venue. Maybe at home using your backyard, at the beach, park or an indoor venue.
Best have helpers, if you can, who are responsible for food, music, photographs, games, prizes, decorations and tidying away afterwards.
You may have a theme in mind. If you do it does let everyone dress in costume and it gives some focus to the party. The graduate is enough focus but perhaps a theme can be fun. EG, Luau, musical, pirates, or safari.
Decorations can be fairly simple but in the graduate's favorite colors. Balloons (tied in bunches and attached to doors, chairs etc), banners, streamers, a gossamer, pictures of the graduate, a sign in board for guests to leave messages, graduation hats, gradaution scrolls, graduate memorabilia, videos of the graduate at all ages. A pinata is fun!
I like decorating guests with glow bracelets.
The table can have a picture of the graduate as a centrepiece. Some confetti is good too!
Music should be decided with the graduate. Everyone needs to hear something they like at some point.
If your party is at home you might want to decide if you will freshen up some paint, clean, arrange parking, tell the neighbors, move pets out for the night and remove items not required.
Games: There are lots of games you can arrange to bring everyone together.
Match of the Year
What you do is try arranging lots of pictures of the grad at various periods throughout their school years on a table. You could turn this into a competition by asking guests to specify which photo belongs to which year.
Limbo
Play some fun music while your friends stand in line waiting to bend backwards low enough to fit under the limbo stick (broom handle, yardstick, etc.). In order to win, the limbo master must not touch the stick or fall on the floor while limboing under the stick (which is usually held by 2 people).
Pass The Orange
This fun-filled game is inexpensive and simple. The only supplies it requires are 2 oranges and people with both a neck and a chin. Divide the group into 2 teams. When the person (not actually playing the game) says "Go!" the people must pass the orange from neck to neck using only chins and necks. The team that can get the orange to the last neck in line the quickest without dropping the orange wins.
Treasure Hunt
In advance hide lots of items in the garden (or indoors). Tie in the objects with the party theme. Give everyone a sheet with the hidden items listed (or drawn for youngsters.) Time the teams or individuals as they find the items. For example for a pirate theme party you could hide fake coins. Have prizes for the winners.
For younger guests have a table with coloring in paper and pencils. Also you could have face paints and simple races.
Food:
For a mixed age group a buffet can be best with lots of salad, cold cuts, sandwiches, pizza and potato chips. For younger guests raisin boxes, fruit, and some chocolate treats.
Lots of fruit juice and water will keep everyone going.
Favors: favor bags with pens, pencils, some cake, chocolate and a photo holder, for example.
I hope this is of some help. Congratulations to the graduate!
