Olympics Themed Party Ideas

After four long years of waiting, we are excited for the 2012 Olympics to finally be here. We have enjoyed watching the US in many different events from gymnastics, basketball, track, swimming and many more. It’s so much fun to gather around the big screen and route for team USA. It’s so much fun that we thought it’d be a great opportunity to invite a few friends, or more, over for an Olympics themed party.

We have a number of ideas that are great for both kids and adults. To keep the kids occupied you can create Olympics inspired games in the back yard such as hurdles, long jump, track races, and more. Don’t forget to have metals for the winners and a podium for great pictures. When it’s time to eat, why not try some different foods from around the world. Choose a few countries to have food from. Have some pasta from Italy, a burger from the US, some hibachi from Japan, or anywhere else you would like to try their local cuisine. For dessert, life savers or m&ms look great on iced cupcakes as the Olympic rings, or you can make sugar cookies to look like the Olympic rings.

Don’t forget the decor, we’re talking red, white and blue tablecloth overlays, gold and silver pintuck napkins, and much more. You can stick with red, white and blue or make a colorful party with all the colors from the Olympic rings. Whichever color scheme you choose, shop TableclothsFactory.com for affordable tablecloths and table overlays that you can use again and again.
