In planning a hockey theme party, follow these easy steps to ensure your celebration is a huge success.
Invitations: The invitations will set the tone for the rest of the party. You don't have to choose a particular team to base your party around, though if the guest of honor is a fan of one NHL player or even an entire team, you can send invitations with that logo on them. If you'd prefer to have a more general hockey themed party, you can order many different designs on zazzle.com. The options range from a picture of hockey skates to a pink background with crossing hockey sticks. The selection includes something for everyone.
Decorations: The decorations should match the invitations you sent to your guests. Whether they include streamers and balloons in colors to match an NHL team, or generic hockey table covers and flag banners (both available online or at a Party City location), your decorations will be a hockey enthusiast's dream. Partycity.com also has puck centerpieces, table settings, and foil balloons. Also, you can tie balloons to the end of a hockey stick and put the sticks in the corner of each room.
Dessert: First decide if you will have a full meal or appetizers and desserts. Hostess King Dongs are a fun dessert to have on each table, as they look like hockey pucks. You may also want to have a cake with a hockey puck or stick theme, and you may even include a picture of the guest of honor in full hockey uniform
Hockey Favors: You can provide favors for your guests to remember your event. For younger guests, you may consider temporary tattoos or NHL pencils for them to bring to school. For guests of all ages, chocolate is a treat enjoyed by everyone. You may consider chocolate hockey skates, chocolate hockey pucks, or hockey player pops. You can tie the cellophane in ribbon that matches your decorations and hand the gifts to guests on their way out. Also, some companies offer their chocolates tied with personalized ribbons.
