Themed Caribbean Parties are great to have any time of year. Indoors or outdoors there always lots of fun. If you’re looking for some Themed Party Ideas here are a few.
Invitations: Here is a cool idea a friend of mine tried. Go to your nearest dollar general store or cheap discount store and buy several different pairs of colorful rubber flip flops. Write your party information on the back of each flip flop and hand deliver to your guests. I’m sure they will love the idea.
Attire: Have your guests come dressed in your themed party style. You could suggest they wear bright colorful cloths, a cool pair of cut off’s, a light summery dress, and of course flip flops optional.
Music: how about a CD with steel drums for background music. You could even mix it up a little with some Jimmy Buffet or Reggae music.
Appetizers: I found a great Caribbean Themed recipe that your guests are sure to love
