You can't take your party to Australia, but you can bring Australia to your party! With some fun party decorations and authentic Australian food, you can create an outback party in your own backyard.
Scuba diving on the reef is a huge attraction in Sydney – so decorate the party as if you are underwater.
Reef-erific!
- Aqua blues, corals and sandy colors are perfect for your Australian Party!
- Hang streamers!
- Cluster coral color balloons to represent the coral underwater
- Use aqua table clothes and paper products to represent the color of the ocean
- Spread sand, sea shells, and starfish on the tables for a great touch of Aussie
- Incorporate kangaroos, turtles, koalas, dolphins and whales into the party decor
- Fish nets, boat rope, scuba gear and life preservers can be used as decorations too
- Fresh Flower arrangements using Australian flowers will work great as center pieces
