When planning a party, perhaps the most important aspect is the theme; the main idea around which it is centered. Color themes are the most common, especially where young children are involved. However, the creative like to add an extra twist to the traditional plans, making their parties unique and innovative.
For example, instead of the classic pink theme for girls, one could base the decorations and the catering around ballerinas. Following a color scheme of soft blues and pinks against a white backdrop, a ballerina-themed party works for all occasions: a baby shower, a birthday, or a similar celebration for little girls.
While including the basic elements required for any party, it is the details which make this arrangement stand out. From the cake covered in delicate pink frosting and flowers to the miniature bonbons wrapped in frills, everything is exquisite. Even the party favors are noteworthy, held in small pagoda-style containers tied with a tulle bow and a ballerina shoe charm or white origami purses.
This setup has sweet treats for everyone: little cups of custard and gelatin in two different flavors, pink macaroons and yellow cookies in clear plastic boxes, striped marshmallow and assorted colored candies in jars, bite-sized cake pops, chocolate bars and cupcakes topped with pink frosting.
However, the most interesting aspect of the whole assortment was the props used. Incorporating a doll's play set into the arrangement was genius: the bed, side table and opened doll's closet acting as trays, holding a collection of cupcakes and bonbons, was a sight to behold. Adding small hangers holding pink tutus into the closet and dressing up the drinking glasses in tulle so they resemble ballerinas was truly inspired. The overall effect is sweet and elegant, and will be enjoyed by all the guests.
