The flower power and hippie trend is super popular right now! It works so well for multiple ages, Two Groovy, a One Groovy party right through to teens and even older. It’s such a fun theme to use and full of peace, love, and happiness!
How to Set Up a Groovy Birthday Party
To create a groovy vibe at your party incorporate these iconic symbols in some way; daisies and other wildflowers, peace signs (both the circular kind and the finger symbol), rainbows, smiley faces, volkswagons and musical instruments like tamborines. All of these iconic groovy symbols will help transform your space.
Combining symbols can give you a show stopping look. For example using daisies to create a giant peace sign or different colored wildflowers to make a large rainbow, both make a groovy party backdrop.
Another easy way to incorporate these eleements is in your centerpieces. For example using mason jars of flowers and adding printable peace signs and VW’s into these to create a groovy centerpiece. I also love getting a little quirky and fun. Add some colorful slinkies down the middle of the table for an unexpected and fun element.
Alternatively, use them in a table setting. Use daisy flowers with rainbow napkins, add drink stirrers with peace signs…there are so many fun options.
Favors can also double as decor, for example flower sunglasses are pretty and can sit on each plate to make them pop! Watch these videos for lots more table top ideas.
