Ice Cream Party

I love the idea of an old fashioned Ice Cream Party for a end of the school year celebration.  It's a great way to kick off the Summer while staying cool with your friends in the heat.  Try adding a  make your own sundae bar for an extra special treat.  Stock your bar full of a variety of candy, sauces, crushed cookies, nuts, sprinkles and whipped cream.   I scoured the blogosphere for clever ideas to throw a cool party and includes DIY printable invitations and food labels, an ice cream cone headband tutorial (yes, I really mean you wear the cone on your head), photo inspiration for setting up your toppings bar and more.  Let's get this party started!

 

Download and print sweet Invitations for your gig.  It's as easy as 1 2 3!
