Summer Olympics Party Ideas
Celebrating the Summer Olympic Games
You can always celerbate the summer olympics, even if it's not an Olympics year!
You have plenty of time for you to put together a great theme party with some GAMES of your own...
Olympics Invitations
Send an invitation inviting everyone to your "Olympic Village" where there will be food, fun and entertainment. When you have your guests RSVP have them indicate whether they want to be a judge, a referee, a participant or a spectator. That way, you'll know how many people are up for, say, pole vaulting!
Party411.com offers a wide variety of personalized Olympic themed invitations that are perfect for an Olympics theme party.
Another of our biggest selling invitations are ticket invitations. You get to use your own wording, choose from seven colors and can order as few as 30. So these are perfect for largest sporting event of the year….The 2016 Summer Games!
Ask your guests to wear a certain color t-shirt (or you can provide different color t-shirts or bandanas, etc., when they arrive), so that it's easy to divide into teams. Or if team sports aren't your thing, your Olympics could be on an individual basis. Whether people are watching or taking part, it's still a fun time.
Olympics Theme Party Decorations
You will need a personalized Olympics banner on your front door (or wherever) and an Olympic athlete cutout that welcomes everyone to The Olympic Village. I usually go overboard, so once my guests have entered, I would have directional signage on poles (a coat tree works really well) telling them where to go: Olympic Park, etc. You may also want to point out which sport is being played at which location.
You can also fill the room, the tent or even your backyard with Mylar sports balloons and matching color latex balloons in fabulous bouquets (use as centerpieces, start and finish line markers, etc.).
It’s important that everyone participate in the fun. A good way to make that happen is to “dress” your guests. We usually put a patriotic wearables out with some bracelets, beads, and pom poms, and let guests pick what they want to wear. The more gear they grab the more you see inhibitions disappear.

- Bronze - For bronze drinks, look through the gold drinks and pick a slightly deeper looking drink. The "Gold Roof" has a nice bronze glow.
The "Games" - Olympics Theme Party Games and Activities
You may choose to watch the games on TV, after all, that's the point, right? In between, though, create your own activities; try an Olympic Photo Op and your own mini Olympics.
Of course, you need games and/or competitions. Give out Olympic medals to the winners.
If you are celebrating someone's birthday, you may want to do things like passing the birthday torch, a birthday cake-eating race, a birthday hat heat, a birthday bash dash, etc. Use more generic games, if the party is just for fun... We have put together a fun selection of games for your Backyard Olympics Games.
Between the games, your guests will be standing in line to have their pictures taken with a sports theme life size photo opportunity from Party411.com. Make your guests dreams come true as they are transformed into a muscle man!
