Flip Flop Party

A Flip Flop Party is my favorite of all pool party themes - starting with the invitations. This is a great themed party for little and grown up girls. The theme provides direction for games, decorations, food and crafts. Use bright colors like lime green, aqua blue, orange, yellow or pink.

Decorating with Flip Flops
For my latest Flip Flop party I used brightly colored flip flops and ribbon to set the theme. Purchase your lime green, aqua blue and yellow flip flops from the Dollar Store. Although I often use flip flop plates and napkins, this time I used solid color party supplies and hung pretty flip flops with matching ribbon on the pool gate, out by the pool party and even on the chairs.

Flip Flop Cake
No party is complete without dessert and a flip flop cake ( or cupcake)is sure to be the highlight of your menu. You can do something very simple like buy a plain or frozen cake and decorate the top of it with flip flop cookies or baby flip flops. Or you can make a cake shaped like a flip flop and decorate with colored frosting. I am not much of a cake decorator, so for my Flip Flop party I topped homemade cupcakes with blue sugar and these little flip flop erasers. For some more ideas click here:

Flip Flop Game
I used this flip flop game as an ice-breaker for our neighborhood girls night out Flip Flop Party. After everyone had arrived each guest was given one flip flop sticker. (I bought this assortment of flip flop stickers from Oriental Trading and used them for the game and to decorate the gift bags.) They were instructed to find the person who had the matching flip flop and then share with them your favorite summer vacation. Everyone loved the chance to talk to someone they perhaps had not met and it was a nice way for our new neighbors to get connected.
