How to Celebrate National Pizza Party Day Witho...
If you haven’t heard - this year, National Pizza Day falls on May 18th. Of course, the best way to observe this holiday is to host a party themed around pizza. However, if you believe that ordering a stack of pizzas is too trivial while slaving over a hot stove sounds a bit intimidating to you, tuck all your worries away and throw a grandeur build-your-own-pizza bash. Photo by Suzy S. To get into the “pizza” vibe, you can transform your party space into a makeshift pizzeria. All you need to do is to cover your tables with checkered linens (you can use table skirts as well). Alternatively, you can spread checkered runners or overlays over white linens. Though eating pizza doesn’t require any tableware (while napkins are still a must), you can go creative and craft a handmade centerpiece using our natural tableware and dinnerware. To add some colors and tie everything together, incorporate fresh-cut or handmade blooms. For a DIY pizza setup, prepping everything together is super simple. If a mere thought of making homemade pizza dough makes you nervous, you can purchase a pizza dough kit with all the necessary ingredients that need to be mixed up. To make things even easier, just purchase several pizza doughs and that’s it! As for the toppings, prepare as many compatible ingredients as you can so that your guests can unleash their creativity. To help them make their pizzas unique, you can group all your toppings into three categories: sauces (olive oil, pesto, roasted red peppers, balsamic glaze, etc.), cheeses (mozzarella, provolone, bucatini, and more), and fresh toppings (figs, onions, basil, pepperoni, and beyond). To compete this setup, use our disposable bowls (these cuties will add metallics to your color scheme) for your ingredients. If you’re tough on time and can’t prep the ingredients beforehand, host a make-your-own-pizza contest where you get to be the judge. To make this happen, group your friends into several teams so that they can shop for ingredients in advance. Then, you can feel free to sip on your cider and wait for them to wow you. As the cherry on top, send your guests home with our pizza cutters. To enhance the visual appeal of your keepsakes, use our checkered ribbons for décor!

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. How would you decorate your Olympics themed party?
