Welcome Stand
What could be better than a pink flamingo on a spider standee to welcome your guests? Having live pink flamingos, that’s what would be better. Seriously, though, this gives the feeling of a great party the moment the walk in.
Croquet Set
A backyard party isn’t complete without garden activities. Croquet would be something your elderly guests surely would enjoy and you may be surprised how your younger guests can make it into something competitive and fun for them.
The good news? This is totally DIY. See the instructions here.
Ring Toss
Here’s a DIY activity even the kids will love. You can offer prizes to make it more fun. What I like about this is it can be for either a kiddie party or a grown-up party. Also, it wouldn’t hurt not using it as a ring toss because it makes perfect decors too!

Pink Flamingos Confetti
Just imagine the look on your guests’ faces when they see pink flamingos flying around when all they expect is a normal confetti. I love the combination of the glitters and the pink. Yes, I am not a fan of the color but this is acceptable.
Pink Flamingo Balloons
You’re probably wondering where can you find balloons like this, am I right? You can DIY this. Ugh, I sound like a broken record but you CAN DIY this one. It’s just simple gold paint for the white balloons. The flamingo was sponge painted on the pink balloons. There are also some places who sell the flamingo balloons.
Party Hats
This would look so pretty on your little girl turning one! See? Pink flamingos are such a trend, it defies age barriers. If you’re the girly type, regardless of your age, this theme would seriously suit you.

Just look at how pretty that cake is! Would you have thought of including pink flamingos to your party if it wasn’t trending?

How about pairing that awesome cake with these mouthwatering sugar cookies? You have to make sure you have enough to go around. At least two cookies per guest because trust me, they’ll be selling like hotcakes especially to the kids!
Pink and Blue Flamingo Cake
OMG. This cake even looks good enough for a wedding. If I was into pink, I would even consider this for my beach wedding in the future. It’s simple yet elegant, fun yet delicate. Don’t you think so, too?
Pink Flamingos Mason Jars
I love how reusable these can be. You can put fresh flowers for one party, folded colored tissue for another and cut outs on the next. You can even tie balloons around it to add more height.
Giant Pool Floaters
Have a few of these floating around your pool and you’ll have guests stripping down to their bikinis and jumping in the water.
A pool party isn’t complete without these floaters! Add some donut and pizza floaters to make things even more fun.
Pink Flamingo Skirt
Now that you can plan a party around the animal, the fashion industry has made if possible for you to even dress accordingly to the colors and look of the majestic bird. At first I wouldn’t even dare think about wearing one of these but after a while, you just get drawn to it.
Board Shorts
Of course we wouldn’t leave the handsome male specie aside. There are shorts for you to wear to garden and pool parties. Not to worry, it doesn’t take from your manliness.
So, there you have it. There’s more than enough material to inspire you to host a trending pink flamingos party for your next shindig.
