I SCREAM FOR ICECREAM PARTY!

I love to spend time with friends, but with having King it is hard to get away sometimes now. I wanted to plan a little get together for some of my girlfriends to come over, have some ice-cream and treats and to chat. I think it turned out so fun and couldn’t have been a better day for all of us to snack, eat, and chat. I decided to throw an ice-cream party and having yummy treats for toppings that also could be eaten as a snack! I snagged some yummy MARs treats; Starbursts®, Skittles®, SNICKERS®, Dr Pepper® Cherry(which did you know you can buy in 2 liters now!?),, M&M’s®, M&M’s® Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches, and some SNICKERS® Ice cream bars. YUM right? I put them all out on the table and loved that my items were all so colorful that I went with black, white, & silver for the rest of my decor. I love that it really made the yummy treats the focal point of the party. (Also make sure to read to the bottom of the post for your chance to win $1000 E-Gift Card to Walmart!)
I did Mason Jars with colored straws for drinks. Then I had Skittles® that they could put in the bottom of their jars with lemon lime soda and it would make their drinks that flavor of Skittles®. We had so much fun coming up with different flavor options and watching our drinks turn colors.Ice cream was the main focus of the party. I loved that the SNICKERS® bars and the M&M’s® Cookie Ice cream sandwiches matched the white theme I went with. You guys, it’s the little things in life.
I bought ice cream containers at a local restaurant supply store and tied bright colored ribbon around them to have them match the colors of the candy. I filled them up with homemade vanilla and chocolate ice cream. We had such a fun girls day. I love these girls with all my heart and am so grateful to have such amazing friends.
For invitations I made ice cream cones out of paper and balloons. I wrote down the information to the party and rolled it up in the balloon. In the cone I put some yummy M&M’s®! It was such a fun and different way to give an invitation that was so quick and easy to make. You can see the tutorial below!
