This is where Party Fair really shines. Here’s a checklist of what to grab:

  • Themed plates, cups, napkins, and cutlery
  • Serving trays and drink dispensers
  • Tablecloths, balloons, and centerpieces
  • Outdoor games and decorative props 

4. 🍔 Plan the Food & Drinks

Keep it light, refreshing, and easy. Think:

  • Grilled favorites like burgers, hot dogs, or veggie skewers
  • Fresh fruit trays and cold pasta salads
  • Signature summer drinks (bonus points for fun drinkware and straws!)

We even carry fun paper straws and drink umbrellas to keep it all chilled.
