Instructions
Cater to both adults and kids in the invite, food, decoration and activities. You can even include all the fixings for 'adult' floats too!
Use free printables in multiple ways.
Use electronic invitations but include an image to build excitement and tie into the party decor.
Keep the ice cream cold nestled down in using frozen sheet pans filled with ice.
Offer a range of ice cream and soda flavors to appeal to all guests.
Topping options should limited to make things easy but include enough to make it fun.
Use fresh fruit to make your own soda syrup and as toppings.
Plan one simple game to give guests a fun way to burn off their sugar.
