Decorating Ideas for a Fun and Fabulous Pizza Party
Ask anyone their top three favorite foods, and more than likely one of those foods is pizza. Adults and kids alike love the tangy sauce, flavorful toppings, and the mounds of mouthwatering melted cheese. It is for this reason that many people choose pizza as a main course when hosting a party, and decorating for the party is just as important as the quality of the food. Decorating with pizza restaurant themed table coverings, decorations, and appropriate party decor is the first step to hosting a successful pizza party. The following decorating ideas will help you get started on hosting a pizza party in honor of any occasion.
Decorating with Welcome Signs
Wall and door decor help add color and interest when decorating for a party, and a pizza party is no exception. Create welcome signs using thick poster board, markers, and a little imagination. For example, you could write, “Welcome to Luigi’s Pizza Party”, and draw or copy a graphic of a smiling Italian chef. Use your sense of creativity and imagination to make a sign for the front door as well as the dining area. Even if you do not consider yourself an artist you can come up with signs that will add whimsical appeal while greatly enhancing the theme.
Table Coverings and Decorations
You do not have to invest in expensive tablecloths when planning a pizza party. What better table coverings for a pizza-themed party than classic red and white checkerboard? Search most discount stores and you will find vinyl checkerboard tablecloths in all sizes, and they are perfect when decorating in preparation for a pizza party. Best of all they are inexpensive, and they can be reused for picnics or for future pizza parties. You will want to have many more parties after realizing how much fun was had by all.
Homemade Menus for Decorating
Handwritten or computer-generated homemade menus are ideal when decorating for a party. Write the menu along with a few Italian-themed graphics on a kitchen chalkboard, or create a menu using white poster board. Have fun designing graphics such as pepperoni slices, mushrooms, and peppers, or create something really unique. Using a round baking pan as a backdrop, make a menu from a round cardboard cutout, and write down the types of pizza and other foods and drinks you are serving. Hang it in the dining area, and surround it with strings of white, red, or amber colored lights. This simple display will be a big hit, and absolutely anyone can create it.
Decorating with Mylar Balloons
A party would not be a party without balloons, and Mylar balloons are available in almost every shape, size, and theme. Did you know you can buy Mylar balloons shaped like slices of pizza? Search online and you will find pizza-shaped Mylar balloons that are ideal for decorating for a party. Purchase at least eight Mylar balloons, and place two in each corner of the dining area. Guests will love them!
Dim the Lights and Dine by Candlelight
It is fun to dine by candlelight, and votive candles in red glass candleholders make perfect table centerpieces for a party. Consider decorating each small table with a single candle centerpiece, or line the center of a longer table with three or more. Surround each candle centerpiece with gold and silver party confetti, and dim the lights to add ambience to the room.
