Pomegranate Juice

Club Soda (or Ginger Ale)

Citrus Vodka (or Orange Juice)

Cookie or flower seed exchange party - Each guest should receive their invitation attached to a cookie tray. The day of the party, each guest brings their tray laden with sugary treats to exchange. Make sure all guests write their recipe down for everyone to follow! For convenience, guests may want to individually wrap their cookies and / or place them in goodie bags to give to each other. The host should have plenty of spare plates and cups to help their guests with all the food.  Put your cookies out on white and red oval trays to snack on. Serve iced tea in our fancy cups with a lemon wedge on the side. Make them disposable to help with clean up!

Alternatively, gardeners can have a flower seed exchange party - where the theme should be all the beautiful colors of the flowers they intend to grow with the seeds they are swapping! Pretty plates, balloons, and streamers will add a festive springtime look. To get festive, use lime green, yellow, sky blue, orange, purple, and hot pink. Our leaf plates will help inspire while making your party look its prettiest. Serve your guests any food that needs to grow! Crudités are perfect! Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, radishes, and celery and serve with a spinach dip. Place it on our scrollwear trays and serve the dip in the matching scroll bowl. Factory Direct Party also has matching plates to coordinate!

Enchantment Under the Sea- Who doesn’t love a good “Back to the Future” reference? For this 1950’s cum 1980’s party, dress in your most radical 1980’s wear. Pull out the fluorescents you were hoping would be banned for all eternity, your slouchy socks, high ponytails, and leg warmers. For a sea-friendly feel, use lots of different colored blue cutlery, table covers, table skirts, plates, cups, and trays to serve on. Accent with some silver as well. Throw up lots of plastic fake pearls for a fun feel. Decorate a trunk with lots of “jewels” by crumpling up some tissue paper balls and placing the lid in a half open position  so others will see the jewels. Line the chest with silver or gold metallic wrap. Throw in some plastic fake pearls for good measure. Throw some silver streamers around the room for a wave-like effect and interlace some with pearls. Add some “sea-weed” by taping green streamers to the walls going from the floor to the ceiling “waving” in the ocean breeze. You can use a revolving fan on a light setting to get the wavy look just perfect.  For food, serve tuna fish salad, lox, crackers, sushi, and blue colored gelatin. They would look fabulous in a shell or flower shaped dessert cup. Place any other dessert on a mini-leaf plate.  Throw a guitar and amp in the corner and see who can do the best Chuck Berry impression.

The glitz of Las Vegas has never been closer to your own living room! You can make the evening a casual affair of today or an old time-y dressed up feel from yesteryear. If you choose to dress up, make sure you wear your finest hats, jewelry, and elegant dresses to give it that rich feel.

For poker tables, set up a round table with a green tablecloth and tie it down to the legs to allow for a smooth surface. Use a black table skirt draped around the table to complete the look - really, who needs to see all those legs? Place chairs around the table and set up with poker chips. (Don’t forget to have the dealer wear a bow-tie!) More chips should be awarded to those who bring a nice dish to eat (this is not your Las Vegas $2.99 All-You-Can-Eat affair!).  Mousse, elegant cakes, salads, and caviar would be an excellent touch. Make your presentation classy with our beautiful serveware, caviar spoons, fancy bowls, and dessert miniatures.

Don’t forget the alcohol. Lucky for you, Factory Direct Party also has a wonderful collection of barware including wine glasses, margarita glasses, mini martini glasses, and champagne cups - all available at incredible prices! Add some real sparkle to the night with balloon weights as centerpieces on the serving tables. Next, relax and watch your guests place bets on your awesome hosting skills.
