Pink Party

Usually October conjures up dark images of orange and black, but in the last few years October has taken a more feminine turn and is now associated with the color pink to promote Breast Cancer Awareness.  Show you care and are aware by throwing a Pink Party to honor those who have beat the disease and also to shed light on research to find a cure.

Start by sending out personalized invitations on light pink stationary or cards and add the signature pink ribbon of the breast cancer movement to it. If doing a charity tie-in, don't forget to tell your friends beforehand so that they know they can make a donation during your event. 

Make your Breast Cancer Awareness event stand out by encouraging guests to wear all pink and white to the party as well.  Don a pink wig or pink lashes to add to your ensemble.  Hand out pink feather boas or leis to your guests as a fun party favor.  This also thanks your guests for their support. 

A pink party can be either a large or small gathering, but you should always make sure to have enough paper goods for all your pink goodies.  Luckily, there are countless pink decorations available, and the best part is that you can be eco friendly and reuse these products for other events like a sweet 16 or bachelorette party as well!   As far as decorations go, don't be afraid to go big and bright or use different shades of pink.  Hang a large personalized banner welcoming your partygoers to an inspiring and fun event. Decorate with balloons and streamers in a variety of shades of pink and even incorporate larger balloons with pink ribbons on them. Try hanging wall decorations and tea lights in the shape of pink ribbons all around your venue to liven up the atmosphere.

Create gift bags for your guests and include pink ribbons, pink pens or pencils, and several other thoughtful mementos to remind them of the great party they have attended and what a great cause they supported.

A pink party is perfect all year long, but is especially poignant during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year thousands of women across the U.S. battle the disease, and every party and fundraiser held helps raise money brings us one step closer to finding a cure.  Hosting your very own pink party is a way to bring community together and celebrate a great cause.
