Family Ice Cream Party: A Fun Way to Bring People Together
Are you looking for family party idea? How about throwing an ice cream party? It doesn't have to be only for the kids. This is a perfect way to spend an evening or afternoon during any time of year. It could even be a great half time show during football season or a child's birthday party. Make it just like an old-fashioned ice cream social and invite your friends or neighbors that you haven't seen for a while to an afternoon gathering at your home.
The Goal:
To try and taste as many different combinations of ice cream, dessert sauces and toppings as possible before you end up with a stomach ache!
The first thing you'll need to do is plan your party. Purchase ice cream-themed invitations or make your own. Be sure to include important information such as where and when and how to RSVP.
Hosting your party outside can be best depending on the time of year. Consider covering a patio or picnic table with bright and colorful tablecloths. Being outside is great because the ice cream will cool you off, and it also will leave ice cream messes outside so you can hose them away later. Since you're serving outside, be sure to strategically place a trash can or two nearby
The most important part of the party, making the decisions for ice cream flavors and toppings, however, can get very overwhelming. That is why you should consider going to the professionals. Some ice cream companies have packages where they put together basic ice cream flavors like Chocolate and French Vanilla as well as some more adventurous ones like Bailey's and Rum Raisin for adult taste buds, wet and dry toppings (sprinkles, butterscotch, caramel fudge, pineapple, peanut butter, M&Ms, Oreos and the list goes on and on), spoons, napkins, bowls, etc. No matter how many people you plan on having at your party, do-it-yourself ice cream parties are perfect, serving anywhere from 15-2500. They will even arrange for a delivery person dressed as a cow to bring the ice cream right to your door. Balloons and other equipment can also be delivered if you need it.
The average cost for an ice cream party like this is about $4-5 per person. It is a very cost effective option to share some time with those that mean a lot to you. Invite them over to visit and also enjoy some ice cream.
