Berry Sweet Strawberry Party Ideas
If you’re searching for a fresh new theme for your next gathering, consider throwing a strawberry soirée! From “berry first” birthday parties to summer strawberry socials, this cute fruit makes the perfect centerpiece for any celebration. Read on for our fresh-picked tips to make your strawberry-themed party unforgettable!
Start by setting the scene with an array of bright and colorful strawberry party decorations. Stick with a pink and red color scheme, incorporating strawberry garlands and berry-themed accents. For summer parties, decorate with baskets of fresh strawberries and mason jars with berry-inspired bouquets. For indoor parties or evening soirées, line your party table with strawberry candlesticks and fairy lights.
Balloons are essential for “berry” big celebrations. From pink and red balloon garlands to strawberry balloon backdrops, there are lots of juicy ways to decorate your space. We recommend incorporating honeycomb strawberry decorations to tie the theme together.
The tablescape should be the focal point of your fête. Start with a red or pink gingham tablecloth to give the table a rustic yet elegant feel. Next, set each place with a large plate in the same colorway– our Pink & Red Signature Cabana Stripe Plates are great for any “berry” merry gathering. Layer these strawberry-shaped plates on top, and complete the look with coordinating napkins, cups, and cutlery. From our Red & Pink Signature Bow Napkins to our Cherry Red Signature Cabana Stripe Cups, there are plenty of pretty pairings to try for this theme!
Make your party table a feast for the eyes by incorporating some strawberry-themed treats. Simply line the center of your table with cake stands of varying heights, displayed with dainty desserts. For an extra special touch, add chalkboard signs labeling each dish with cute names like "Berry Bliss Shortcakes" or "Strawberry Fields Salad."
Since no strawberry party is complete without a mouthwatering menu, be sure to include a variety of tasty options for your guests to indulge in. We suggest serving something savory like a spinach-strawberry salad alongside a strawberry lemonade or cocktail. (Strawberry spritzers make for a “Berry Happy Hour”!) For dessert, you can never go wrong with a strawberry shortcake or mini strawberry tarts.
If you’re throwing a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party or a Berry Sweet Sixteen, a thematic cake is crucial. We recommend adding some strawberry-themed cake toppers or making your own with fresh strawberries and wooden skewers.
To make your celebration truly unforgettable, send guests home with sweet strawberry-themed party favors. From mini jars of strawberry jam to fuzzy strawberry slippers, fun favors will allow your guests to enjoy the theme long after the party ends.
If you’re hosting a Strawberry Shortcake-themed party, be sure to include favors featuring Strawberry Shortcake herself. These Strawberry Shortcake stickers are great for a young girl’s birthday party, while these Strawberry Shortcake face masks and headbands are fabulous for a pre-teen’s spa party!
We hope we’ve inspired you to throw a sweet strawberry celebration! With these ideas, you’ll be ready to host a gathering that’s “berry” memorable for everyone. For more strawberry-themed party ideas, check out the rest of our collection. From our fête to yours, bonne chance! Xx
