Many
people ask the party planners here at Party411.com what are hi impact ways to
decorate that don’t cost an arm and a leg. We usually run down a list of
options, (balloon bouquets, crepe paper streamers) and the one that no one
expects to hear is foil wrapped chocolates. They really are a fantastic way to
decorate. We use foil wrapped candies in our parties all of the time. Usually it’s
“edible confetti” of sorts that we sprinkle on our tables. Here is a picture
from an Ohio State Bar Mitzvah (see the footballs?)
You can
get just about anything in a foil wrapped chocolate; footballs, basketballs,
eyeballs, dice, hearts, stars, even tropical fish. They are usually about $11 a
pound, but it can go a long way.
I set out
little footballs when we have people over for Sunday football games. And I am
having a pirate themed birthday party for my brother next month where I will
use chocolate gold coins as decoration and a favor.
See how
cute gold chocolate coins look?
You can
always use fun-sized candy pieces in lieu of novelty chocolate…
It doesn’t
always have to be wrapped candy either (but don’t expect your guests to eat
it!) For a ski themed party we once used marshmallows…
So
consider this the official Party411.com recommendation for candy as party
decoration. Have fun with it!
