Fun, Informal Wedding Reception Ideas in Purple, Blue and Pink

For couples who love to keep it fun and casual, how about a wedding reception that’s all dressed up with balloons and candy? Sweet treats do double duty as favors and as part of a fabulously colorful centerpiece. Everyone instantly will be in a party mood, whether you’re hosting your reception in a garden or a ballroom.

Layer square and round plates, colors, and patterns for a bold and bright table-setting. Even napkins are tripled up for maximum color and fun. Fold a patterned napkin and wrap around the other two like a napkin ring.

Want sweet thoughts on your wedding day? Make sure there’s plenty of candy on every table. Fill wine glasses with a yummy assortment in a wild mix of colors. Go to your nearest Party City store for the best selection.

These cute favors are practical, too. Guests can use them again in the kitchen or on their desks. Just add some curling ribbons that pick up the colors in your balloon bouquet centerpiece.

Using a variety of colors and shapes for drinkware helps add to the festive feeling of the party.

A thick and colorful tangle of curling ribbon in coordinating shades of blue, purple and pink used to anchor the balloons becomes a creative and super-affordable centerpiece for your party tables. Be sure to hide a balloon weight in the middle so the centerpieces don't float away!
