    How to Have a Donut Party

    In addition to having lots of doughnuts to eat at your party, make sure the decor reflects the party theme.

    Pastel colors are a good choice for a doughnut party. Decorate with donut balloons like these, confetti-filled balloons, doughnut-shaped inflatables and hang a donut party banner. Here are a few cute options:

    • donut party garland
    • Donut Time Happy Birthday decorations
    • Pastel burlap party bunting
    • Donut Grow Up banner
    • My Mind’s Eye donut banner

    Use a peg board, a wooden stand or acrylic stands as a creative way to serve doughnuts at your party. Or try a tiered party tray or cake stand. You also can create cute donut bouquets to use as centerpieces.

    Make sure you have doughnut themed paper products at your party.

    • Donut party supplies pack
    • Pastel donut plates
    • donut napkins
    • donut tablecloth
    • donut plastic cups
    • pink sprinkles donut dessert plates
    • donut plate and napkin set

    As for donut-themed party activities, you can never go wrong with a doughnut-shaped pinata or pull-string pinata stuffed with candy, like Krispy Kreme jelly beans or Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Thins chocolates.

    I’ve got lots of ideas for donut party games later in this post.

    Don’t forget about donut-themed party favors.

    These donut paper hats are just the cutest. Guests will have fun taking selfies with these donut-themed photo booth props. These donut lollipops are a sweet takeaway gift for guests. I’ve included more party favor ideas later on in this post. Here are a few other fun donut party games:

      What a bunch of genius ideas because who doesn’t love doughnuts! Or what you say donut. I always get confused. Either way, they are the most delicious things ever!
