Party Themes to Color You Happy

Struggling to find a theme for your child's birthday party or your husband's 40th? Hosting a bridal shower or baby shower that you want people to remember? Throwing an elegant party without a specific theme can be as easy as focusing in on one sensational color.

Choose the guest of honor's favorite color, or in the case of a baby shower maybe pink or blue if you know the baby's gender. Then revolve all of your efforts around this one color, including the invitations, decorations, food, and favors. With MyPunchbowl Design Studio you can choose an invitation you like, then pick the exact color of your choice to match your color theme. 

The monochromatic look is especially elegant when you have one or two tables displaying the food, particularly items that are easy to grab like candy, fruit, and cupcakes. Use clear glass dishes and jars as not to distract from the impact of your single color. 

To get you going, here are a few items that you can get in most colors:
- M&Ms
- Jelly Beans
- Candy Canes
- Cupcakes (use food coloring to create your own frosting color)

Supplement the sweets with fresh fruit and your dessert table will be a sweet success. 

Enjoy Planning.
