Summer Tables Picks

There are many types of parties to host during the leisurely summer months and ShindigZ has wonderful table decorations to suit different summer party styles from a tropical luau to a backyard BBQ. If you’re having a summer party or picnic, these table decorations and party tableware supplies will make your tables look truly special.

Luau Table

Tropical Table Setting

For a Tropical Table Setting cover your table with olive green gossamer draped around vinyl floral sheeting. The floral sheeting covers your table with a great texture and the gossamer creates a beautiful table skirt. Add some nautical fishnet over chairs and around the edges of the table for an extra seaworthy accent. Our Mini Palm Tree Centerpieces create the perfect finishing touch.

Don’t forget to set the table with coordinating plastic tableware and cutlery!

Similarly, you can create a really great looking Luau Table. Cover your table with a Caribbean blue table cover and edge it with a raffia table skirt. We have several styles, from plain to accented with flowers or seashells. Use tropical ti leaves to create place mats at each seat, then added orange plastic tableware and cutlery. Place a floral lei over each plate and add a coconut cup or coconut votive holder too. In the middle add a palm tree centerpiece. To decorate the chairs, add raffia floral fringe around the top of each chair back.

For a coordinating Luau Banquet Table, cover the long table with water patterned gossamer. Edge the table with a tropical flower garland. Add a string or two of twinkle lights under the gossamer to add a soft glow and drape some fishnet over top for a nautical touch. On the table top, add some tissue pineapples, mini foil palm trees and our Giant Clam Shell Bowl for serving out of. You can even scatter some of our assorted shells over the top of the table. This table makes a great buffet table or a place to hand out favors like tropical leis, coconut cups, or coconut votive holders.

ShindigZ also carries several patterns of tableware ensembles that look fantastic at your tropical or luau themed summer parties.  Our Vintage Hawaii Ensemble has a cool vintage pattern great for teen or adult parties while our Pool Party Tableware & Accessories are great for kids parties and birthdays. Everyone will love our inflatable coolers too!

BBQ Party Table Decorations

If your summer party is more of a picnic or a backyard barbeque, we have table decorations for that too!

Our BBQ Party Table Decorations create a coordinated and cool picnic table. Cover the table with a gingham plastic table cover and place a bandanna in the center. To create a centerpiece, place a cluster of Beer Mug Candles (we also carry Float Mug Candles) on the bandanna. The candles make great favors after they’ve served as decorations! Set the table with red plastic dinner plates and red plastic cutlery, or the assortment of tableware from our BBQ Kit-N-Kaboodle.

At ShindigZ we have tons of tableware ensembles and table decorating supplies, plus tips and ideas, to help you create festive party tables for your events all year long!

Wendy’s Graduation Picks

Filed under: Party Questions — Tags: — myshindigzidea @ 3:48 pm
WendysPickHeaderAround this time of year, I often get asked to help plan and decorate for graduation parties. No worries. A graduation party is one of the easiest to plan and to create a unique setting and feel. No two graduates are alike and therefore, no two graduation parties should be alike. Whether a mid morning brunch, lunch, dinner or evening bash, it is easy to create a party with your graduate’s personality in mind.

Here are a few of my favorite products

PB302Y - Chalkboard Grad Banner

1) Photo Banner: A photo banner is the perfect way to set the stage. It doesn’t matter if you are the scrapbook mom or the stuff the photos in the drawer mom, find the perfect photos and we can blow them up to share with one and all. Capture your child through the years.

KSSCKB - Corkboard Grad Standee

2) Photo Standee: I love, love, love the Corkboard Grad Standee. It is a great way to share your Grad’s personality with your guests. Include individual photos, photos with best friends, family photos, trip trinkets, activity photos, medals you name it.

KSSLTL - Mini Photo Standee

3) Mini Photo Standee: Really like this one for a table centerpiece. Perhaps the first day of school, a sports photo, senior prom you decide – have the same for each table or create a mini photo standee centerpiece that is different for each table. Maybe one table can be elementary school, one middle school and one high school.

CANCGRD - Grad Photo Mint Tin

4) Photo Mint Tins: A wonderful favor and memento for all your guests and one they can use. Place your favorite grad photo on the top. Keep the mints inside, or fill with a few of your grad’s favorite mini treats – such as m&ms, skittles or sunflower seeds.

imp-napkins

5) Imprinted Napkins: Always order a few too many so you can remember the party the following week as you use up the napkins (they never go out of date).  Try a favorite saying or quote on the napkins or simply the graduation date and school.  All in the school colors.

balloons

6) Balloons:  A party isn’t a party without a few balloons.  Very affordable and they cover a great deal of space.  I usually recommend school colors (although favorite grad colors can always be used too.)  Use the selected colors to create balloon bouquets – adding a nice mylar graduation cap balloon to each bouquet.  Use the colors of the balloons/school colors throughout your decorating for plates, napkins, table covers, invites and banner type and borders.
