Strawberry Theme

October 3, 2011 by Tanya - Life's Little Celebrations | 6 Comments

A sweet strawberry theme – perfect for a garden party & perfect if you are after a cute theme with a healthy feel =)

Red, white, pink and green are predominant colour options for this theme either with polka dots, stripes or gingham for a picnic look. However you could also work in creams or browns into this theme as well.

I haven’t specifically included Strawberry Shortcake items in this post as there are an abundance of them available online and easy to find. The items I’ve chosen could be incorporated into a Strawberry Shortcake theme or simply used on their own for a Strawberry party.

You could also combine a strawberry theme with another popular summer fruit such as watermelons, or combine this theme with a tea or picnic party.

This is a lovely one for birthdays as well as baby showers – I hope you enjoy this collection of ideas =)

Sweet Treats

Your sweet treats are what really matter in a dessert table more than anything else! The kids will love having items which are theme related and different to what they normally have at home. So use these items to carry your theme through. Of course don’t forget strawberries & other fruit on the dessert table and finding some fun ways to incorporate strawberries into some healthy treat options! Why not even have a strawberry bar with lots of cute options for the kids to dip their strawberries into? There is so much you can do with delicious strawberries!
