Flirty “French Candy” Party Theme
categories: bachelorette, birthday party ideas, bridal shower ideas
This Black, White, and Pink wedding theme from brides.com is also fabulous inspiration for a flirty, “French Candy” themed birthday party or bridal shower (especially a lingerie-themed shower!).
Party Decor: Flower arrangements (roses, carnations, hydrangeas, peonies), party favors, and candy treats are all pretty in pink, and black stripes & polka dots add some fun, Parisian-cafe-inspired flair…
What to sip? Flirty Pink Martinis and french-inspired drinks like Chambord and Champagne, of course!
Be My Guest: Here are a few invitation ideas to help set the tone for a fun, flirty get-together:
Pictured above: Couture Cocktails by Bonnie Marcus ($8/12 blank or $30/8 custom-printed); Engagement Silhouette ($1.30 each custom-printed); and Flirty Fun: Princess ($2.24 each custom-printed)
WOW, truly inspirational!

Mar 8, 2010 at 11:38 pmA summer wedding theme can often be combined with a nature theme, giving your reception a warm, outdoorsy feel. Nature themes can range from animal-inspired weddings to beach receptions – it’s up to you! Try using seashells and sand dollars to decorate for a summer beach theme, and serve tropical-colored martinis during the cocktail reception. If you’re going for a more floral summer theme, try pairing your flower arrangements with summery citrus fruits! Yellow, pink, and orange colors will have your guests longing for the sunshine. As a creative summer wedding favor, try setting up a table full of candy jars with small bags for your guests to help themselves as they leave!
Apr 21, 2010 at 12:55 amThis is a great idea. Now all the party needs is some EIFFEL bonbon’s! These yummy treats would be a great addition and really goes with the theme and mood of the party!!
