by Balsa CircleMay 04, 2021

Get ready to celebrate all summer! With smaller parties and get togethers, you can really get creative with your theme, decorations, and so much more! Celebrating safely is always the top concern so you can be sure these trends will give you plenty of ideas while taking into consideration social distancing and mask rules. Remember to share your favorite party tips or trends you’re looking forward to trying in the comments!

Personalized Appetizers and Charcuterie Boards

Caterers are pivoting from buffet style serving to individual servings and mini charcuterie boards so guests can still sample all the yummy food without compromising safety.

This is by no means limited to just appetizers! Think mini servings of your favorite dessert or fruit to share with your friends - mini domed macarons always look so elegant! The best part is that they can play double duty as your favors, just add a ribbon to dress them up and you have cute gifts to take home.

Mini Cakes Just for You

Speaking of dessert, instead of cutting a bit cake for each guests, we’re seeing party planners opt for individual mini cakes or cupcakes. You can still dress them up in fun ways that match your decor but to respect social distancing, everyone gets their own slice!

Colorful Balloons

Get creative with balloons! Creating an IG-worthy backdrop can be quite a challenge so we’ve made it easy with our party balloon garland sets! You can get as elaborate as you want, and go as big as you want!

Taking The Party Outdoors

With venues getting booked up, why not have a garden or backyard celebration? Transforming your backyard into a beautiful venue is no small task! But it is doable, and affordable, to have the perfect celebration with a few DIY touches. Don’t forget to get a canopy shade and bamboo fans to keep your guests cool in hotter weather.

Pastels, Greenery and More!

Dusty green, blue, and rose are some of the dreamy shades that are perfect for outdoor garden parties, engagement or bridal showers! Take a look at our new dusty sage collection to get inspired for your get-together or use dusty rose for a bachelorette party!
