1. Design Your Own Doughnut party

Who doesn’t enjoy pastries? Doughnuts have a guaranteed soft spot for both young and old and a sure way to get your guests excited is to hold a DIY doughnut party. You can set up shop with plain doughnuts and prepare a few glazes and sprinkles in a corner. For drinks there can be lattes, coffee for the adults and for a bonus trick, you can demonstrate how an espresso bomb can be made. On a more serious note, you can serve chocolate drinks to your young guests and avoid serving them caffeine at all costs! Also displaying a healthy salad bar is a good option especially if everything is fresh.

Souvenirs can include cacti or succulent shaped keychains. You can also offer door prizes for your guests, especially those who arrived in cactus/ succulent themed outfits like all green or spiky accessories.
