Are you planning a ballet-themed party for your little one? It’s a forever popular theme and ballet party supplies never go out of style. If your little one is a dancing fan, you’re in the right place as here we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to ballerina party supplies in Australia to help you create a memorable and enchanting event. From invitations to decorations, food and drinks, activities and entertainment, party favours, and music, here’s our guide to making it the best ballet party ever.
So, pull on your dancing slippers and leotard, and let’s start talking about ballet party supplies.
Invitations
The first step in planning a ballet party is to send out the perfect invitations. Choose ones that reflect the elegance and grace of ballet and beautiful ballerinas. You can opt for personalised ballet-themed invitations, or why not get creative and make your own and attach a small pink satin ribbon bow to each invitation? It’s only a little touch but something sweet to make the invitation memorable. Don’t forget to include the date, time, venue, and dress code- tutu, of course!
Decorations
Transform your party venue into a whimsical ballet wonderland with enchanting, pretty-in-pastel-pink decorations. Set up something to serve as a ballet barre for the little ballerinas to practice their positions. Also, hang pink and white tulle curtains as backdrops and create a beautiful, dreamy atmosphere with fairy lights and paper lanterns. Scatter ballet-themed props such as tutus, ballet shoes, and tiaras around the room for an added touch of the theme.
Food and Drinks
Keep the partygoers energised with ballet-inspired treats. Bite-sized sandwiches in the shape of ballet slippers, bow-shaped cookies, and cupcakes topped with edible ballerina toppers would all be delicious and a hit with the guests. You can also set up a dessert table with various sweet treats such as marshmallow pops, ballet-themed cake pops, and macarons. For drinks, offer pink lemonade or fruit-infused water with edible flowers for a refreshing touch and super-cute look.
Activities and Entertainment
Fun, games and entertainment are expected at a birthday party, so make sure to keep the little ones entertained with ballet-themed activities. Could you arrange for an older ballet dancer to come and give a short performance or conduct a mini-ballet class? And maybe you could provide tutus, ballet slippers, and props for the children to dress up and perform their own ballet routines. Set up a craft station where the kids can make their own ballet-themed crafts, such as paper ballerina dolls or foam crown decorating. You can also organise ballet-themed games, such as a musical statue competition using classical ballet music, and a ballet position needs to be formed when the music stops.
Party Favours
Send your guests home with ballet-themed party favours that they will cherish for a long time afterwards. Some ideas include mini ballet colouring books, ballet-themed keychains, personalised ballet shoe keyrings, or small ballerina figurines. You should be able to source much of this from a reputable party supply store, such as www.characterparties.com.au. Including a handwritten thank you card to express your gratitude for their attendance is always a lovely and much-appreciated touch, too.
Music
No ballet-themed party is complete without the perfect soundtrack to dance along with. Fill the air with classical ballet music such as Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, or Sleeping Beauty. You can also create a playlist with modern ballet-inspired songs that the kids can dance to. Include popular tracks such as “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” or “I Could Have Danced All Night.” Maybe, the children could devise and rehearse a short concert to perform for the parents at pick-up time.
