Party planning is about finding something different. Something that everyone invited can refer to several years later. How about a Heavy-Metal-Marshmallow Party?
Start by baking a large cake. Spread marshmallows on top and decorate as small drum sets. Finish by adding two stick breads on top.
It all starts with the invitation cards. Or rather, the list of all the intended guests. And with many heavy-metal fans, nothing can go wrong. If the invitations are sent online, it is high time to start collecting email addresses. It must be clear that the theme is rock. Upload pictures of Uriah Heep and add some rows from Very eavy 'very umble ..
Remember to combine colors and fonts that lead the mind to head-banging. Start with a template for the invitation card if you feel uncertain and adapt to your wishes.
Make sure no one misses marshmallows. It's important to have your stomach full before Jack Daniel's and the stage divide kick in.
So let's summarise the case for marshmallows and their corresponding invitation cards:
We have confirmed that marshmallows can be a great theme for a party! Marshmallows are versatile and fun, and there are many ways to incorporate them into your party. Here are some ideas:
S'mores Bar: Set up a DIY s'mores bar with graham crackers, chocolate, and of course, marshmallows. You can provide different types of marshmallows, such as flavored or mini marshmallows, to add variety.
Hot Cocoa Bar: A hot cocoa bar is always a hit, especially when you include marshmallows as a topping. You can provide different flavors of hot cocoa, like peppermint or caramel, and various types of marshmallows.
Marshmallow Fondue: Dip fruits or other snacks into melted marshmallows for a sweet treat. You can even add different flavors, like chocolate or peanut butter, to the melted marshmallows.
Decorations: Use marshmallows as part of your decorations. You can make garlands or wreaths out of marshmallows, or even use them as centerpieces.
Marshmallow Games: Plan some games that involve marshmallows, such as a marshmallow toss or marshmallow tower-building contest.
Overall, a marshmallow theme can be a fun and delicious way to celebrate any occasion.
But how to combine the two? The decor for a successful heavy metal party is A and O. The more electric guitars and posters on Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, the better. Don't forget to tell the DJ what applies. Culture Beat and Black Box do not work at a party with hard rock theme.
One tip is to find a color theme (read black) that follows from the invitations to all marshmallows. When guests see black marshalls, black balloons and Gene Simmons at the door, they know they've come right.
Photobooth has become an obvious part of all parties with ambition. And perfect for those who forgot the cap, shorts and braces at home, but feel like Angus Young. The icing on the cake is black confetti and licorice boats everywhere. And black marshmallows of course.
Let's summarise the tips to make your marshmallow hard rock party a success:
Set the mood with the right music: Hard rock music is the heart and soul of your party, so make sure you have a playlist that fits the theme. You can also consider hiring a DJ or a live band to add to the atmosphere.
Dress code: Set a dress code that fits the hard rock theme. Encourage guests to dress up in leather jackets, black t-shirts, and studded accessories. The obvious accessories are marshmallows in different colours. Make it clear in your invitation what the dress code is. And again, the invitation cards whether from a template or not, need to include the two themes.
Decorations: Use decorations that fit the hard rock theme with marshmallows hanging from the guitars. Hang posters of popular hard rock bands, use black and red streamers or balloons, and have a smoke machine or strobe lights for added effect.
Food and drinks: Offer food and drinks that fit the hard theme. Jack Daniels and marshmallows only. Consider having a bar with drinks named after famous rock songs or bands, such as a "Guns N' Roses" cocktail. You can also offer finger foods like mini burgers or chicken wings. With marshmallows topping.
Activities: Plan hard rock activities including a karaoke contest, air guitar competition, or even set up a drum set for guests to play.
Safety: Ensure that your party is safe for all guests. Make sure you have designated drivers or offer ride-sharing services. OD on marshmallows? Better safe than sorry.
