Baking Party Ideas

A baking party can be a fun filled theme for all ages and the theme itself makes for a truly interactive and engaging event. With tons of options for decorations, color schemes, and even delicious food, a baking themed party is a unique and happy way to celebrate any occasion. Not only this, but a baking party can also be functional, keeping the event in/around the kitchen so as to even have an easy clean up and minimal messes in the long run! With a baking themed party, you can truly relax and enjoy the love and laughter that goes into making sweet treats.

Baking Party Decorations

Decorations are aplenty, but some popular options include color palates of pastels and brightness, such as hot pink, baby blue, butter yellow, or mint green. Ribbon tassels, helium filled balloons with polka dots, and big cloth puff balls are all trendy and albeit easy decorations to incorporate into your baking themed party. Items that are actually seen in bakeries such as light up signage, chalkboards, striped overhangs, and other imagery of food like pretzels, breads, and cupcakes can be used as décor to put up along walls, windows, and tables. Flowers are also a must-have aesthetic, but make sure to opt for floral arrangements that are clean colors with minimal smell, so as to not distract or distort baking scents and flavors. And of course, you can’t forget to put together a special table with place settings for your guests to sit and enjoy the food they have decided to bake for this special party.

Baking Party Food

The food for the party itself is beyond limitless—and we aren’t just referring to what you and your guests end up baking. After you decide what you’ll be making, you’ll still need to have other foods and beverages available. An event cake is a great place to start and can be a true star of the party with fun details. Go for a cake molded in the shape of a baker’s hat or a giant-sized cupcake. Set up a table for this cake and all the other pre-made goodies like cakepops, scones, oversized croissants, frosted sugar cookies in the images of spatulas and whisks, and apothecary jars filled with bright candies. Set up a coffee/hot chocolate bar just as many bakeries have and this will pair so well with the food.

Baking Party Favors

Party favors for an event like this are all inclusive as you’ll have a station set up where your guests will be baking their favors! Hand out cute, personalized aprons for the guests to wear while they bake—and to take home with them. Have themed boxes in bright hues and fun designs ready for the guests to put whatever foods you’re all baking in to take home as well. Personalized or blinged out whisks or other baking utensils are also a fun idea for party favors that guests will not only love, but also stay within the theme of the party.

Baking Party Games

While party games aren’t completely necessary for a baking themed party because the true interactive game is the actual baking part, you can still bring in exciting ways to interact while all the yummy treats are in the oven. When you send out your party invitations, ask your guests to each bring along a favorite recipe and then all the guests can share these with each other and take home a much more sentimental keepsake than just a baked good. This activity also serves as a perfect icebreaker that will get your guests mingling in no time.

Twins Party Decorations

The options for party decorations is limitless, but keep in mind to balance the “twin” décor with “individual twin” décor. You’ll want to merge the joyfulness of being twins with who the person each twin is, so be sure to incorporate favorite colors and styles of each twin. Within your decorations, it’s fun to do everything in pairs, such as balloon clusters, centerpieces, table décor, and of course—the birthday cakes!

Patterns that are great for boys, girls, and all personal tastes alike are chevron, stripes, and polka dots. Themes like western, Dr Seuss Thing 1 Thing 2, Disney, or beach are wonderful themes that cover all basis of gender and personality as well. Use a big backdrop of bright colored chevron, like turquoise or coral, with gigantic birthday wishes for each twin behind the main event table. Ribbon garland in equally bright colors cascading across the venue space and framed with tons of double clusters of polka dot balloons give a festive flair to the event.

Drape the tablecloths in the two favorite colors of your twins and string up old photos of the twins in clothespins along clotheslines. Have two separate tables for each twin’s birthday gifts to be placed on, and set up two photo booths with tons of fun props for the guests to snap memorable pictures. You can even provide some old timey polaroid cameras or a nearby wireless printer for the guests to print off their photo booth pictures and hang up on clotheslines or pin up on boards across the party venue and this allows your guests to directly help with the decorations! It also gives you a complete photo album of the party ready to be put in a book!

For guest tables, Centerpieces of two mason jars filled with tulips and daisies are simple yet beautiful, and little table games like mad libs are really enjoyable for guests.

Twins Party Food

Food for a twin’s birthday party can be full of imagination, so put on your creative hat. Having two birthday cakes is a fantastic idea, and each of these can be as small or as big as you like. Single tiered or sheet cakes are wonderful, as they look amazing and taste great, too. Cake pops in the shape of pies, blocks of rice crispy treats smothered in chocolate, and giant-sized gummy bears are all unique and one of a kind treats—much like being a twin! Of course, you can’t have a dessert table without iconic “twin” treats like banana twin mini cakes.

You can even have a station set up in which your guests have all the fixings to make their very own banana splits! Pudding cups with two flavors, double fudge cupcakes, and miniature sugar cookies in fun shapes that keep in whatever the party theme is are delicious. Of course, you can’t forget to fill the main table with plenty of candies, so present everything from m&m’s to skittles to gumdrops in glass apothecary jars and colorful bowls.

For salty and savory food that fills the tummy and balances out all the rich treats, finger foods are always your best bet. Miniature pizza rolls, triangle peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and turkey pinwheels are easy to grab up and go, while cheese and meat plates, veggie platters, and different dips like French onion, ranch, cheese, and buffalo are all perfect snacks for guests to fill up on.

Beverages for guests can consist of just about anything, but two-ingredient drinks keep in line with the “twin” celebration, so it might be a fun idea to set up a drink station in which guests can choose from unique two-ingredient drinks. Hot chocolate with whipped cream, lemonade with tea, or Shirley Temples. Serve in old fashioned glass milk bottles with striped straws.

Twins Party Favors

Party favors for a twin’s birthday party can also be silly in the sense that you can give them in twos. This is particularly wonderful because this allows you to give your guests sets of favors, such as mug sets, candle holder sets, soap sets, or even double frame sets for photos. This not only keeps in theme with the party for twins, but it also is something that guests will have forever and it will specifically remind them of the awesome event itself years to come. Once you decide on the perfect party gift favors, wrap them up in fun boxes with cute designs, or tie them up in a personalized canvas tote that the guests can actually use.

Twins Party Games

Games and activities for a twin’s party are exhilaratingly fun, as there can be a lot of interaction. If you have an outdoor space, set up two pinatas for guests to compete on teams to break it, or you can organize field day type games in which two contestants are constantly competing. Sack races, ankle races in which you tie two members together at the ankles to race the other team, scavenger hunts, and yard puzzle games are all really great to bring everyone together.

Video Games Party Decoration

For decorations, there are lots of basic video game images you can use, along with standard colors you see in just about every video game and console, no matter what the era. Neon greens, blacks, and bright oranges are perfect hues to keep in mind and they also mix and match perfectly with any specific games you might incorporate into your party. Balloons in these colors all around the venue are a great place to start—and you can never have too many. Likewise, string lights offer a cool game feel to the party and DIY cloth tassels are great to hang anywhere while adding a flair of color and vibrant décor. Vintage arcade signs and banners that proclaim “LEVEL 1”, “WINNER”, or “NEXT ROUND” are wonderful additions to post up along walls, doors, and even to use as backdrops to main event tables. Specific images in the form of standups or printouts for games your teen particularly loves should also be incorporated to the decorating scheme. And it’s always a good idea to have video game music playing if available.

Video Games Party Food

You can really let your creativity shine when putting together a menu of food for a video game party. Between the bold colors and fun images, the food is a feast not only for the tastebuds but also for the eyes. Make your event cake into an oversized game controller, a console, or something from your teen’s favorite video game. Make a replica of a console out of cardboard, spray paint, and buttons and use that for a prop or even serving ware for an array of neon green frosted cupcakes. Sugar cookies in the shape of a Wii controller and cakepops that look like joysticks are treats to really awe at and smile about. Rice crispy treats and jars full of jelly beans and m&m’s are also perfect for foods that are not messy when it comes to getting hands on video game controllers as well. For beverages, boxed or pouched juices are a terrific choice, and for saltier fares, keep it simple and snack-like with pretzels, chips and dips, and pigs in a blanket.

Video Games Party Favors

Party favors for a video game party can be anything from an actual video game to a specialized gaming cards to individually wrapped detailed cookies and candies. The favors you choose can be as generic or specific as you wish, depending on what video games your teen loves. Sunglasses, noise makers, chocolate coins, and fake mustaches are all really fun favors to throw together into a gift back for any guest. How about this Wii Remote Gum tin or a these Erasers!

Video Games Party Activities

Playing video games should be a main activity and definitely opt for multi-player games so that all the guests can have the chance to be involved. Other good ideas for games are video game trivia, and for bigger budgets, a video game truck is an amazing, all party long activity. These trucks offer a space that all your teen guests can play video games together at once in the truck with no extra purchase of games, space, or clean-up for the host.

Shabby Chic Decorations

Decorations for a shabby chic party theme should be girly and classy, with a touch of vintage flair. Paper circle fans in shades of ivory and mint along the walls, ribbon tassels made of soft cotton hanging from ceilings and the backs of chairs, and pastel blue balloons can be put up indoors or outdoors; whichever place your party is being held. If you can have the party outdoors, this is actually ideal, as shabby chic has a lovely brunch feel to its overall setting. Drape tables in soft pink tablecloth with white lace overlay, and turn copper colored spray painted mason jars, baby’s breath, and ivory hydrangeas into sweet centerpieces. Burlap fabric is also a wonderful accent into a shabby chic theme, whether it be in the form of flag banners or tablecloth runners. Distressed furniture is must-have as well, and you can incorporate this in the forms of tables, chairs, mirrors, or even just accent pieces like old window panes with photos pinned up on them.

Shabby Chic Food Ideas

Food is an eclectic mix of decadent and light fares, and though the setup may be simple and crisp, the taste and look of the food is absolutely divine. Start with a pretty backdrop of a white sheer draped up with tall stick posts made of whatever wood of your choice, and top those sticks off with big bunches of pale pink and white flowers. Then, prep the event cake in the center of the table, which can be a one or two tiered, round cake in mint, striped frosting. White metal birdcages filled with butter cookies and towers of pink macaroons give the table a beautifully elegant look, while ivory cupcake stands topped with rich chocolate ganache compliment the simple cake. Fluffy popcorn in blue cone holders and chocolate dipped cherries on glass platters are easy grab and go treats, while tea sandwiches and cheese and veggie plates are savory. For drinks, set up big glass dispensers with chalkboard labels. Pink lemonade and champagne are perfect drinks for a shabby chic event.

Shabby Chic Party Favors

Party gifts for your guests can be just as elegant as the party itself, so think mason jars filled with sugary candy, burlap bags tied up with chocolate covered coffee beans inside, crystal wine charms, or rustic miniature jewelry boxes. Pink crackle design candle holders or tea sets are also a great thank you to your guests for attending your party, while keeping in with the theme. You want your gifts to have a vintage feel with a charming look that your guests can remember your event splendidly by.

Shabby Chic Party Activity

Party gifts can also come by the way of activities that you set up for your guests. Relaxing things like painting a stain glass or tea cups, or decorating wooden boxes or mason jars are easy and fun to do while interacting with guests. You also want to keep in mind to cater your party activities to the specific event that you’re celebrating with this shabby chic theme party. Regardless of what you’re party is geared towards, however, activities should be sentimental, just as the feel of shabby chic is, so include activities that incorporate nostalgia and joy.

For decorations, you can make just about anything you have at your disposal work. Think colorful balloons, streamers of exotic flower cutouts, beach balls that hang from the ceiling, and accessories along the venue like surfboards, faux tiki statues, and inflatable palm trees. Set up tables with fringed edge tablecloths and big backdrops of ocean views. Set up pink yard flamingos and giant pom pom tissue balls in the colors of the rainbow. Setting up an actual tiki bar with coconut and pineapple cups filled with punch or lemonade is also a great addition to the pool party theme. Teenagers love photos, so putting together a photo book with a lazy beach background and fun props of sunglasses and big hats is also something that the guests will absolutely love.

Pool Party Food

Food should have a classic island twist, so opt for lots of fresh fruits like pineapples and big green grapes. Light fares are perfect for being out in the warm sun, so stick with easy to grab up foods like cucumber sandwiches, carrots or celery with ranch dip, pretzels and chips, and turkey cheese pinwheels. Beverages should be equally light and refreshing, however being creative can put a super fun twist on the party, so why not try virgin pina coladas or virgin strawberry daiquiris? Of course, no party is complete without delicious treats, and the cake table is a great place to put your assortment of yummy sweets. The cake should fall in line with the theme, and offer a light flavor, so a mild taste of vanilla white cake is a great base. Go for a colorfully frosted cake in the image of a beach ball or surfboard and the teens will absolutely flip for it. Other treats that will be extremely popular are beach ball cake pops, cupcakes with ocean-colored frosting and shark fin toppers, sugar cookies in the shapes of hibiscus flowers, and seafoam-hued miniature macaroons. Sand buckets filled with candies like Swedish fish and gummy sharks make for happy treats as well.

Pool Party Favors

As far as guest gift favors go for your teenage pool party, you have tons of options here. Sand buckets filled with candy goodies, neon-colored sunglasses, and little beach towels is a great assortment of fun and functional favors. Hawaiian leis or sun visors are also a great gift that the teens will use for a long time to come. Personalized water bottles or bracelets are also a great go-to when it comes to gifts the guests will love.

Pool Party Games

Pool party games are extremely interactive, so be sure to set up a net in the pool for water volleyball, as this can include all your guests and makes for a really fun activity. Marco polo, swim races, and water chicken are all great games that the guests can play safely in the pool while keeping in theme with the party. Don’t forget the timeless game of limbo as well. You can also set up an activity in which a party favor can be incorporated, such as a hula dancing contest with grass skirts and leis that the teens can take home with them.
