Pineapples, flamingos, and fun, oh my! This colorful celebration unites all of your favorite trends to create a party theme that is so juicy sweet! If flamingling with flamingos or partying like a pineapple is your thing, we'll show you how you "toucan" create this spectacular soiree at home. Learn how to make adorable flamingo favor boxes, delicious tropical treats, and create place settings that the kiddos will love. We've even thrown in some free printables to make putting your party together a (tropical) breeze!
When pineapples, flamingos, and toucans unite, you know something amazing is about to go down! This adorable, color-filled fete is full of all your trendy favorites, and it exudes so many tropical vibes that you can almost smell the coconut in the air!
The idea for this sweet soiree was inspired by this Pineapple 'n Friends Collection. The pretty little pineapple and the bright, cheerful colors just beg for a celebration, don't you think?
Carrying the elements and colors from the party collection over into the party decor will help tie your party space together and give it a cohesive look.
Plates can be repurposed into easy DIY decor, and they're super affordable! Simply hot glue a thin wooden rod to the back of a flamingo plate, then glue a second plate to the back of the first plate. Cut tissue paper to create a fringe, then glue around the plates to fill in the gaps. Display in a galvanized pail that's been decorated with ribbon and you've got yourself a festive centerpiece that matches your party decor perfectly!
Grouping paper lanterns and tissue paper pom-poms together and hanging them above your dessert table will create an impressive statement and add some fun color and texture to your space!
The DIY Tissue Paper Pineapple on the table was inspired by the texture of the tissue poms, and looks so fabulous with the party decor! To create it at home, glue two wooden hexagons together using E6000 glue or hot glue. Cut yellow tissue paper into squares. Pinch the middle of each square and pull the edges up. Use hot glue to adhere the tissue paper to the front and sides of the pineapple, leaving the middle of the top open. Cut an "unpuffed" green tissue paper pom-pom in half and tuck it inside the top of the pineapple to create the leaves. Pull the top layer of yellow tissue paper squares up to cover any exposed wood on the top.
Parties are always more special with some unique touches, so we've created a free Custom Printable Party Pack just for you! The coordinating printable pack consists of cute cup sleeves, adorable cutlery circles, a cheerful party banner, fun favor tags, and pineapple leaf dessert toppers.
The cup sleeves fit perfectly around these plastic cups, and add such a fun flair to the table! The little toucan napkins at each place setting are too cute to cover up with utensils, so the printable circles are a great option for displaying your cutlery! Simply wrap some 1-1/2 to 2-inch ribbon around yellow cutlery and hot glue the ends together. Hot glue the cutlery circle on top and display at your place setting on the opposite side of your napkins.
The party banner looks great on the front of a table, but can also be hung in a doorway or used as a backdrop.
Nothing quite screams tropical like pineapple and coconut, so these Coconut Pineapple Meringue Cookies are just the right treat for this party theme. The yummy taste of coconut fills each bite, while the printable pineapple leaves give the meringues the look of a pineapple. Aren't they cute? The recipe for the cookies can be found here, and make sure to download the free printables so you can finish off the look!
At the end of your party, don't forget to send your little pineapple lovin' party peeps home with some fun goodies! These little Pineapple 'n Friends Blowouts complement the theme perfectly, and a huge variety of other favors can be found here. Tuck the goodies inside these super cute DIY Flamingo Favor Boxes for a fantastic send-off!
I hope these party ideas have put you in an island state of mind, and have inspired you to create a tropical themed party of your own! The DIY Flamingo Favor Boxes and the recipe for the Coconut Pineapple Meringue Cookies will add some special touches to your celebration, and the free printables will make your party set-up a (tropical) breeze!
