For my daughter’s 11th birthday we took the party to the local Roller Rink. My daughter wears these plastic neon green glasses to just about everywhere we go, so clearly she’s got a thing for neon. The party was such a blast that I can’t believe I forgot to share all of the details with you! So here it is, our Neon Roller Skate Party!
Picnic Table Dessert Table
This is the first time I’ve had any of my kid’s birthdays at a venue, and even though it was just a touch tricky on the set up, it can be done, and it is SO worth it! We knew we would be working with picnic style tables, so we decided to style three, separate, fully functional tablescapes.
Since the party was at 10 am, we wanted to give these kids some fuel to skate the day away. We created neon popcorn boxes, filled them with cereal, and added a cute little sticker round to tie it all together. Fruit Skewers and mini muffins were the biggest hit of the day… until dessert. We also offered yogurt parfaits in cute little containers with a washi tape adornment. We went with mini birthday pennant banners for the tables to keep the decor centralized.
Of course the dessert table is always the most popular at any party! We are particularly excited about our push pop cakes displayed in our handmade Pushcake Stand… this was a huge hit and so easy to make! Also, homemade Brownie pops flew off the tray. Roller skate shaped rice krispie treats with neon sprinkles were easily one of my favorite things. For party favors, we sent these tweenagers home with neon shoelaces and boxes filled with neon sour gummy worms.. yummmm! Each table was sprinkled with handmade neon confetti and it really completed the entire look of the party.
Honestly, the best part of this party was seeing everyone having a blast on the rink. Something about slapping on a pair of roller skates brings out the kid in everyone, including myself. It was such a blast! I recommend taking your next party to the rink and giving it a splash of neon!
