We are officially one week away from the 2020 Summer Olympics and, after a full year of waiting for the games to begin, we are ready to celebrate! Without further ado, here are Evite’s tips for throwing an Olympics party that will surely take home the gold.
Invite Your Guests to Get into the Spirit
Parties and athletic events have a lot in common, including the fact that awesome energy is required at both to make them a win! Get your guests pumped up ahead of your gathering by sharing a fun invitation that lets them know what you have planned for the day. Evite offers a variety of summer games invitations that are sure to get fans cheering days in advance.
Suggest Sporting Their Fave’s Colors
Athletes. Sports. Countries. Everyone has their favorites, so encourage your guests to show their support through their style. There’s only one rule they really need to follow, and that’s to dress comfortably. This brings us to our next tip…
Plan Some Friendly Competition
Watching the athletes compete in their events is not only exciting—it’s also incredibly motivating! Give your guests the opportunity to get in on the competitive fun by setting up games and events for your party. You can easily do so without breaking the bank or spending hours setting up. Opt for classic activities like tug-of-war, table tennis, a jump rope competition, a ring toss, or a good old-fashioned running race.
Prepare Some Winning Snacks
No party is complete without yummy things to keep energy high and score major points from your guests. One simple way to add some award-worthy snacks to your table is to repurpose your favorite Fourth of July appetizers. It’s a great way to show your pride for the U.S. Olympic team (and they’re super easy to make). Our favorites are these 4th of July American Flag Fruit Skewers served alongside this refreshing Red, White & Blue Berry Water.
With these quick tips, you can achieve an Olympics-themed party that will make every guest feel like a winner just for landing the invite. Cheers to (finally) celebrating the summer games and using the event as a way to reconnect with friends and family!
