I scream, you scream, we all scream - for ice cream socials! It's the middle of the summer, heatwaves are settling in, and you’re doing anything you can to stay cool. Be the hero of the heat and host a screaming hit of a party for guests of all ages! Keep reading for our Ice Cream Social #partyinspiration
Make Your Own Sundae Bar There truly is something for everyone when it comes to ice cream! Craft a “make your own” sundae bar for guests to create their very own masterpiece. This ice cream bar can be as “elaborate” or “classic” as you chose to make it. Fill your table with vanilla and chocolate or put out unique flavors catered from your favorite local ice cream shop. Either palette is bound to be a hit. In regards to toppings, this is where you should definitely go overboard. Sprinkles, cherries, and candy oh my! Make sure there is plenty of variation and a ton of options, so everyone can customize their ice cream in a way they find sweet! Find sundae and topping bar inspiration on our Pinterest board here.
Whatever Floats Your Boat (+ Ice Cream) This isn’t your typical “drink” table. Stock up on cream soda and root beer so guests can make ice cream floats. Curb guests thirst by putting out pre-made milk shakes for people to grab. Mix it up and provide adult popscicles by freezing champagne or sangria. Hire a bartender for all your specialty drink needs (we're talking boozy ice cream sodas and milkshakes) for the adults! What’s better than getting to eat AND drink your daily dose of ice cream?
Decor For an Ice Cream Social, decor is anything reminiscent of an old time candy shop! A light pastel color scheme, ice cream flavors listed on chalk boards, and candy galore is bound to set the mood. Make your own “ice cream cone balloons”. Pull inspiration from the color of the flavors you provide and stick to light and bright - guests will totally melt over your decor. Find more decoration inspiration here.
Entertainment & Extras Bring in a barbershop quartet to capture the ambiance of an old school ice cream shop. For guests of all ages, book a photo booth and put out extra cones and candy as props - a picture perfect treat to take home. Provide guests with another sweet give away by baking cone cupcakes or candy stuffed cones for people to take with them on their way out.
