SUGARY CHEER: WILD STRAWBERRY, FLAT HOLIDAY PARTY INVITATIONS

Theme

• Decide on your theme
• For the party I'm planning now, I have chosen the theme: 

"Pink and Gold 2015"

Menu

• Create your menu
• I love finger foods, so that is going to be the theme of the menu at my party.  Here are some of the appetizer-type dishes that will be served.

1. Buffalo Chicken Cups
   
2. Bacon Wrapped Pineapple
   
3. Ham and Swiss Sliders
   
4. Beet Dyed Deviled Eggs
   
5. Roasted Beet Hummus
   
6. Pink Bean Dip
   

• I also think that a candy bar would be perfect, in addition to the other desserts I will be serving.  

1. White Chocolate Popcorn
   
2. Red Velvet Puppy Chow
   
3. Disco Truffles
   
4. Gold Shimmer Meringues
   

CandyStore.com

CandyStore.com is an online candy store with over 2500 bulk candy and nut products. Also, they have a low flat rate shipping within 1 business day. 

I have decided to choose from candy from here to stock up my candy bar.  I'll stick with colors that match my theme.  

Chocolate Cigars - 24ct

Gold Milk Chocolate Stars - 5lb

Pink Puffy Poles Marshmallow Twists - 2.2lb

Watermelon Gummi Rings - 4.5lb

Pink Cherry Rock Candy Strings - 5lb

• The drink menu is an important one as well.  This night is the perfect time to get creative.  Here are some fun drinks I'll have available at my party:

1. Pink Lemonade Margarita
   
2. Pink Starburst Cocktail
   
3. Apple Cider Margaritas
   

Entertainment

Of course, what's a party without some games and entertainment?  Here are some ideas for you to use to help keep everyone going until the ball drops!

1. Photo Booth
2. "Don't Say Happy New Year Until Midnight" - you aren't allowed to say it until the clock strikes 12!
3. "Guess how Many" - purchase a bunch of mini 2015 party favors, put them in a jar, and have people take turns guessing how many there are. (Be sure to count before you put them in :) 

You can also buy some games to play, depending on the guests who will be attending, or how many.  For an adult-only party, you can always try Cards of Humanity, which I can say from personal experience, is a game that will keep you all laughing, and saying "OMG!"

Have a Happy New Year!
