Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Party Ideas

Glue a diamonds playing card to your invitation for an additional creative touch.

To throw a party celebrating your love of all things glittery and glamorous, you only require a few creative ideas to make a memorable event for all your friends to enjoy. Host your get-together with a “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” theme by utilizing inexpensive craft items coupled and your own imagination for a cost-effective, enjoyable party with a cohesive aesthetic and activities.

Invitations

Introduce your “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” theme immediately by sending out jeweled invitations that communicate to guests what to expect as far as the aesthetics of the party. For example, make your own decorations to avoid spending money and maintain creative control. Fold sheets of paper in half and write down party details using jewel-toned markers. Glue on plastic diamonds and sprinkle glitter over wet glue. Let the invitations dry and mail them to your guests, who are sure to appreciate your artistic abilities, as well as the personal touch of homemade diamond invitations.

Activities

Diamond-themed activities will provide your guests with a memorable party experience while enhancing your event’s glamorous theme. Prepare for interactive activities utilizing diamonds as props. For example, invite guests to hit a diamond-shaped piñata that you make yourself out of papier-mâché and chicken wire. Fill the piñata with candy and costume jewelry. You can also engage in a scavenger hunt, in which guests follow a list of clues around your home until they find a diamond-themed prize, such as a plastic or glass diamond ring.

Decorations

Further enhance the “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” theme of your party with glamorous decorations. For example, cut large diamond shapes out of butcher paper or construction paper in jewel tones and glue glitter all over the designs. Use loops of blue painter’s tape to attach these decorations to the walls of your party venue. If your guests will be sitting or eating at tables, spread an array of multi-colored plastic diamonds across the tablecloths and place electric candles on each table so the light will reflect and sparkle in the facets of the faux jewels.

Refreshments

Nothing gives a party a glamorous mood like diamond-themed refreshments. Surprise your guests with delicious manifestations of your creativity. For example, bake cupcakes and use brightly colored frosting to create diamond-shapes on top of each one. Add sparkling rock candy to enhance the appearance of each edible diamond. Provide guests with edible party favors such as candy diamond rings, bracelets and necklaces they can wear and enjoy throughout the event.
