When you think of a fruit-themed party, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For some people, they might think about choosing an actual fruit as the main centerpiece. But there are so many other things you can do for this theme. It’s more than just eating a bunch of different fruits and calling it a day!
In order to make this theme memorable, you can do a little bit of planning ahead. Here are some fruit-themed party ideas that your child will love.
1. Let the kids dress up!
How about having everyone dress up in fruit costumes? It doesn’t have to be complicated – just an orange wig or blueberry suit will do the trick! Then let each person bring a different fruit as their party favor. Think about the color of each person’s outfit and have them bring a matching fruit to tie in with the colors of the party.
2. Make your decorations stand out!
You can decorate the room with fake or real fruit! You can hang cut oranges from the ceiling or put out some fake grapes on a table. It doesn’t matter if they’re real or fake, as long as they get the fruit theme across. You can also decorate the walls with fruit cutouts. Use oranges and bananas to make a border around the room or use blueberries and grapes to make shapes like stars and hearts. The kids will love seeing their favorite fruits hang from the ceiling!
3. Serve food that kids will love!
For the party food, you can get creative and make fruit kebabs. Use pineapple chunks (or maybe watermelon slices if it’s summer), marshmallows, and strawberries to decorate kebabs! Your kids will love eating them… and they’ll feel like the kids from Snow White!
You can also use watermelon as a giant bowl. You can cut out the top and bottom, then hollow it out by cutting along the ridges of the watermelon. Fill it with snacks for your party guests, and they will love diving in to get them!
If you want to make fruit-themed party food, then there are so many different possibilities. You can use watermelon pops, oranges filled with cream cheese and jelly, or chocolate-covered strawberries on a stick! The more creative you get with it, the more your child will love it. Just don’t forget about your summer fruit party supplies like plates, cups, and napkins because they’d bring more fun and color to your party.
4. Think of fun activities for the kids!
You can also have an activity that is not just focused on eating during this party. A few ideas could be a watermelon seed spitting contest, playing pin the apple on the tree, or an orange juice chugging competition!
You can also think of summer fruit games like bobbing for apples or a watermelon bowling game. The summer fruit party supplies will come in handy again here!
5. Keep it simple and short!
Remember, no matter how much you’ve planned out your summer fruit party, the kids don’t want to be there forever! Plan on just a couple of hours and you’ll be good to go. Kids will start to get tired and cranky no matter how much fun they’re having, so keep it short to save the day!
The possibilities for a fruit-themed party are endless. There is so much you can do to make it memorable and fun!
