Peanuts Party Idea
by Lorna
(Edmonton, AB CAN)
Every year we host an adults' appreciation evening to thank all our volunteers. I used the Peanuts gang to create a "we're nuts about our volunteers" theme. The invitations had the Peanuts gang.
Table Centre pieces were a large tray of nuts and munchies, displaying all the Peanuts characters and the slogan. They even included the psychiatric booth!
Every guest was given a small bag of mixed nuts with a thank-you tag attached. The Door Prize bag was also decorated with Snoopy, Woodstock, the dog house, and of course, Charlie Brown.
Fun games and entertainment were all Nuts themed, including a Trivia Game, complete with prizes.
We made teams and played push the peanut with your nose and a walnut toss (like a bean bag toss. Guests were invited to do the Harlem Shake dance to complete the evening, which was a total success *unfortunately my pictures would not upload :(
