Throw the Perfect Camping-Themed Party
Invitations
Set the tone for your party with some camping-themed invitations. You can find premade invitations online, or make your own. If you decide to make your own, you could use a card-making program or even make some with construction paper. Include the theme of the party, the date, time, and place. Make sure you include any special instructions, like what kind of food or decorations to bring.
Decorations
Decorations are the key to setting the mood for your camping-themed party. Hang up some string lights and some paper lanterns for a fun, campfire vibe. You can also hang up some camping-related items, like a lantern, a Coleman cooler, a camping sign, some fishing nets, and maybe even a tent. You can also make some paper campfires to place around your party area.
Food
No camping-themed party is complete without some camping-themed food. You can have traditional snacks like s'mores, trail mix, and beef jerky. You can also make some campfire-inspired dishes, like hot dogs and hamburgers. For the main meal, you can make a huge pot of chili or some campfire macaroni and cheese. Make sure you also provide some non-alcoholic drinks, like lemonade, iced tea, and hot chocolate.
Activities
Keep your guests entertained with some outdoor games. Set up a horseshoe pit or a game of cornhole. You can also set up some lawn chairs around a campfire and tell some spooky stories. If you want to get your guests up and moving, you can play a game of tag or kickball.
Favors
Send your guests home with some camping-themed favors. You can give out mini flashlights, bug spray, and pocket knives. You can also give out individual s'mores kits or trail mix bags. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something your guests will remember and appreciate.
