Pink Party Ideas for any Girlfriend Celebration

Get Pink Party Ideas for a pink bridal shower, a pink birthday celebration, or breast cancer awareness month. I’ve got you covered with a pink and white tablescape and dessert table, plus recipes and party favors!

Pink party ideas abound with this inspiration and party plan including decor, food, drink, and more.

Everyone knows that October is breast cancer awareness month, and that Pink Parties are encouraged as a way to raise money and/or awareness. I was honored to work with Estroven again this year {see last years Pink party here}, to create “Sleep Pink” pink party ideas that are perfect for a lady-like celebration.

I worked on this in the summer, and used some of my favorite gold and pink items for entertaining: vintage gold trimmed cocktail glasses, pink depression glass coups, modern gold dotted salad plates, and gold flatware. I didn’t go overly “themed” for this design because I wanted you to gather inspiration for ANY pink party you plan, whether it’s a bridal shower, birthday party, mother’s day luncheon, or other celebration.

Below is the overall design, with more pink party ideas and instructions on the Sleep Pink site {link above}, and I’ll also do some more detailed posts here as time permits. The complete party includes a seated table, dessert table, appetizers, lunch menu, drink recipes, favors, and diy gifts or activities to do during the party.

Pink Party Ideas : Table Setting

• As mentioned, pink and white with gold accents drives the design. I found these fabulous gold polka dot rimmed salad plates at HomeGoods and they worked beautifully layered with my gold chargers and classic white dinner plates.
• My gold flatware set, vintage gold-embellished glasses, and a muted gold vase complete the Midas touch.
• The pink depression glass coups look so feminine and pretty in this setting, and the centerpiece is a mixed bouquet of roses, tulips, carnations, hydrangeas, and spider mums.
• The back wall is decorated with a flower garland, and each chair has a mini flag garland hanging on the back.
• Favor boxes double as place cards, and are made from a large match box wrapped in scrapbook paper and ribbon. Inside, guests find pink and gold nail polish to match the occasion.

Pink Party Ideas : Dessert Table

• Pink treats fill the table: mini cheesecakes topped with strawberries, pink and white parfaits, pink macarons, cupcakes, and pink champagne.
• Use an egg dish to hold macarons for an unexpected display.
• It’s easy to bring in some golden accents here by lining a plate with glittery gold scrapbook paper, using a gold tray, making gold flag cupcake toppers, and putting out gold foiled chocolates.
• Add a splash of decor above by hanging an empty frame and hanging a ribbon swag across.

Pink Party Ideas : Appetizers

• I love to set up different areas with appetizers. It keeps the traffic flowing as guests check out each selection. I set up my mirrored table with pink lemonade, ham-wrapped asparagus, and cranberry & nut baked brie.
• The food is chosen for their pinkish hue in keeping with our theme. Round it out with pecans and white cheddar cheese.

These appetizers are light enough and complement the main menu. Serve this easy chicken quiche with a green salad for a meal that won’t weigh you down.

There’s still a lot more to see from this party, including pink salt scrub favors, raspberry champagne float cocktail, and strawberry hot chocolate shots.

Cheers!
