One of the best aspects of this Bid Day theme is that the color palette is limitless. You can choose from classic tea party approach, use a rainbow of colors inspired by the Mad Hatter, or go with classic red, whites, and blacks from the Queen’s Garden.

No matter which approach you take, be sure to include hats! You can create hats with cupcakes or make your own hats with our DIY Top Hat pin.

The Cheshire Cat is another fun way to incorporate Wonderland into your day. You can make cupcakes or cake pops with his face. If you’re looking for something a little simpler, create your own Cheshire cat tails with marshmallows and purple dyed white chocolate.

Another approach to making your party Wonderland themed is adding tags with Drink Me and Eat Me on them. Almost any food or drink can fit your theme this way.

Looking  for a creative way to welcome your chapter to Wonderland? Create a sign for the front door that says “Down the Rabbit Hole” or print out a door hang from the Disney animated film.

Start the party out right and create your own yellow brick road. You can use spray paint on your grass, or lay down a long sheet of yellow paper. Create poppies or giant lollipops for pops of color.

Incorporate other elements of the theme with food. Add few drops of yellow food coloring to your rice krispies, and you’ll have edible yellow bricks. Custom labels turn Hersey® kisses into Tin Man kisses and Dove® chocolates into Tin Man Hearts.

For a truly delicious treat make Scarecrow haystacks.  The haystacks are a combination of peanut butter, nutella, and chow mein noodles. Best of all, these tasty treats can be made in the microwave!

No Wizard of Oz party is complete without ruby slippers. We pinned a link to turn black heels into sparkling red beauties. Whether you wear them or decorate the table, ruby slippers are a must.

We love the variety of cupcakes that can fit this theme. You can create a rainbow cupcake with AirHeads Xtremes®  sour belts, or any other rainbow candy you might come across. For a simpler cupcake, use a cake pipe and multi colored icing.

You can make all your food fit the theme when you serve it in a beach pail. Use the shovel that comes with for each serving utensils.

Use fruit to decorate your table with some creative designs we’ve pinned. You can create a pineapple palm tree or a watermelon shark.

There’s nothing cuter than teddy grams in the water or on the beach. Check out the cupcakes, cakes, and marshmallow pops we pinned.

For a hearty meal option, you can fill pails with sandwiches and chips. Or create mini sandwiches and add a paper umbrella to hold them together.

Start with a classic beach ball to decorate the table. Or hang them like balloons in bunches. Feeling especially creative? Make beach ball cake pops!

Check out our pin to free printables from Embellish. There’s everything from banners to cupcake toppers.

Of course, you can always use sand and shells to decorate the table. Check out our Under the Sea board for more ideas!

Paris parties are full of Eiffel Towers, so make sure your Bid Day is too! Whether you buy figurines, make print outs for the table, or decorate your cupcakes, the Eiffel Tower is the key to setting the mode.

Soft pink are a great contrast to your Eiffel Towers. For the culinary talented, try your hand at rose cupcakes. We love the Paris wall decoration make from teacup roses. You could also get live roses or make tissue paper flowers.

Looking for a large wall decoration? Check out our pin for old maps of Paris! You can download and print the maps from the site. If you have a table to sit down and eat, turn the maps into place settings.

When you’re deciding on your food, think French! Tarts, cheese and crackers, and croissants are a few examples. Chocolate mousse in a small glass is also a great treat.

Finally, no Paris party is complete without French. Whether you have a Paris themed welcome sign (Bonjour!) or prints for the table, the French language is a critical party element.

Kick back and enjoy the ride with our jungle party ideas. Some of  our favorite pins take party snacks and design labels for a jungle theme. Pretzels become twigs and a fondue fountain is a mud bath.

Mix and match jungle and animal print for a unique combination. Animal print balloons and lanterns can decorate a jungle laden table. Visit your local craft store or the toy department for animal figurines.

Take a simple cupcake and make it fit your theme with Runts®. Our jungle themed cupcake pin uses chocolate cake, white frosting, and Runts®. This cupcake is a tasty treat and the candy will add decor to your table.

How colorful can your table and food be? Pick a wide range of sweet, sour, soft, and hard candies to really make your food table stand out.

You’re going to need to buy candy, and probably a lot of it. Check out our pin to order bulk candy. Look for ways to use candy as decorations, like creating lollipop trees.

We pinned candy necklaces that were attached to the table for each decoration. Tie wrapped candy to a string for garland or a great photo booth backdrop.

Looking for a creative way to give gifts to your members? Check out the wrapped shirt idea. Using mesh or netting material, roll your shirt and tie it off for a treat your chapter will love.

Don’t leave the doorway bare! Create a Candyland-isque path on the sidewalk or create giant lollipops as yard decorations. Multicolored balloons will work for the indoor or outdoor party.

Need food besides candy to eat? Consider your condiments and make them as colorful as the rest of the party.

Decorate boxes with Tiffany’s blue colored paint and white ribbons to set the tone for your party. Add diamonds and pearls to give your party an elegant feel.

Inspired by the movie? Photos of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s in painted frames can decorate your table.

Cupcakes and cake pops are easily made to fit your theme. Rock sugar on colored frosting look like jewels from Tiffany’s. Frosting covered Oreos on sticks can have the same effect.

If you’re an amateur pastry chef, try your hand at decorated cookies. We pinned cookies that look like Tiffany bags and diamonds rings to get your started.

For a themed drink, we pinned a Tiffany’s lemonade. Blue raspberry kool aid, sugar, and country time lemonade mix combine to make the perfect beverage. Serve lemonade in glass bottles or a large dispenser to show off the color.

If you’re looking for themed gifts, we suggest sun glasses and tiaras. Check out our pin for Tiffany’s party handouts to find more ideas!

Bright pinks, yellows, and greens have set the tone of bringing the outdoors inside. A simple white table cover can go a long way if your table has the flowers to compliment it.

Consider less expensive options to live flowers like tissue paper and silk flowers. We pinned a tutorial to make your own flowers from tissue paper, disposable plates, and artificial flowers. You can even use a floating candle and flowers in a bucket to help decorate.

For drinks, we suggest tea and lemonade. Think adult tea party when you’re making your choices for this theme.

Another inspiring idea is powered doughnuts in cupcake holders. It brings a touch of classy to the mundane foods we all eat.

For those who are creatively talented, we suggest rose cupcakes. They look almost too good to eat!

Enjoy your Bid Day and add your chapter’s flower to the decor. After all, Bid Day is about celebrating sisterhood!

This theme is one of the most flexible because you have so many options to choose. But too many options can also make things harder, so we’ve pinned a few ideas to help you narrow it down.

Fair food is delicious and easy. Popcorn, caramel apples, and cotton candy are big hits not matter the occasion. Try your hand at boiled peanuts for more of a carnival feel.

A hot dog stand with all the condiments laid out could be just the thing you need for your Bid Day. Simple to prepare and low on cost, they also keep with the theme.

If you’re like us, then a cake pop is a must not matter the theme. Simple decorations go a long way with the carnival theme. White and colored sprinkles or a colored icing with sugar will do the trick.

A carnival theme is great if you want a Bid Day full of fun. Check out some the easy backyard carnival games you can set up. Consider giving out small prizes with your letters on them.

Photos help preserve memories, so set up your own carnival/fair style photo booth. Think polka-dots or maybe red and white strips. You can find silly glasses and fake mustaches to add an element of fun to the booth.

Check out our Jungle-Animal Print board for more inspiration.

If you want to keep it simple, go with the classic Cat in the Hat motif for your party. Red jello cups stripped with cool-whip are an awesome treat to serve up. You get creative and make a Cat in the Hat pizza for all to enjoy.

If you’re leaning towards something with a little more color, go with the The Lorax theme. Truffle trees are easy to make whether outdoor decor or edible treats. One of our favorite pins is the drink dispenser made to look like the Lorax himself.

Looking for a conversation game? Hang a map and have members pin and tell stories about the places they’re been. Oh the Places You’ll Go theme is just one more way to have a Seuss party.

Want a little bit of everything? Mix and match to create Seussville. Green deviled eggs, a bowl full of colored fix,  star belly cake pops, and cat in the hat smoothies will pull it all together.

Get your sisters involved and have them bring in their favorite Seuss books to decorate!
