Thinking of organising a black and white themed party? It is a popular choice, amongst teenagers for sweet 16 or 18 birthday party, or even for a year 12 graduation party. Like an after school formal, where everyone in the family dresses up to celebrate a new chapter in life. If you are looking to celebrate these special moments at home, here are some ideas to help you get started.
A Black and White Themed Party
Hosting a black and white themed party, requires preparation to ensure you have the organising covered. In your invitation, requests your guest to have a specific dress code for your black and white party theme. In this way, you create an excitement with a dress code and your guests will dress appropriately.
If the party is for a birthday, let the special person choose something extra like a red scarf or rose corsage to stand out from the other black and white party dressers. Decorate the venue with black and white balloons and steamers or hang black and white photos to display a timeline, to show why you are having this celebration. You can choose to have your event at home or a venue. Remember to check whether you can decorate according to your chosen theme.
Strike a Pose
To make your guest feel extra special, ensure a camera person is stationed at the entry, to snap a photo of each guest in all their formal, fancy and elegantly dressed. Get them to strike a pose as they arrive, send them a photo as a thank you for coming.
Photo Books
Photobooks are a great way to show their journey through school. You can create a Year in Review Photobook as a keepsake memory. Take time to choose these special photos that will tell a story or show growth. Make sure the cover reveals a black and white themed party. If you are showing this at the party or presenting it to the special person, make sure you have ample time to organise this photobook.
Photo Slideshow With Music
A popular form of entertainment is creating videos or photo slideshow with music. This is a great way to show their achievements throughout their school years from when they first started right through to graduation. Why not create a special video presentation of the night and make it a downloadable file to share.
Food Catering
When you are catering for your party, there are a few food that will match your theme. Chocolate cakes with vanilla Ice-cream, sushi rolls, olive rice with a Thai coconut soup, Japanese gyoza dumplings are among some food you may consider for your party.
Music Playlist
There are many songs that will match your party theme. I have a playlist below to give you examples of the songs I know.
The aim is to ensure your guests are enjoying your party by creating an experience they will never forgot. One that will inspire them to make their lives extraordinary while having fun along the way.
