how to ensure your party is not a flop:
- Go in feet first. Look in the baby shower section of your local party supply for fun
finds in baby feet. You may find baby feet suckers and candy, goodie bags with
baby feet, cards and more. After all, this is a party all about feet, and that would
include Tootsie rolls, too!
- Give the little miss a match: Provide a basket of flip flops at the door of varying
sizes for guests who forgot to bring their own. You might even secure
contrasting flip flops with ribbon little miss matched style.
- Hang ten! There are lots of ways to hang ten or more flip flops, including flip flop
string lights, flip flop string decorations and more:

- Tickle them pink with this flip flop invitation idea! Decorate a pair of inexpensive
flip flops for each guest with ribbons, gems, flowers and tiny charms. Pink is an
ideal base color, and when you buy pink dimensional paint and rhinestones you
can create the fun flip flops pictured, right, by Michaels or tie them up in pretty
tulle. For the invitations, hand deliver one of the unique flip flops with the
invitation tied to the thongs. Be clear on the invitation that you'll flip if they don't
bring their flop to the party. The first activity at the party will be a treasure hunt
will be to match the pair to wear.
Flip flopping fun sweets and party snacks
- Treat them with Baby Feet! Here's a fun find: Wilton Baby Feet candies, intended
for baby showers. Look also for Twinkle Pops. Available in blue and pink, Twinkle
Pops suckers come with long bendable sticks.
- They'll flip over the Nabisico Nutter Butters! Dress up NutterButter cookies with
licorice laces and you have an easy cookie to serve for your flip flop party. For a
fancier cookie treat, coat the cookies in Wilton candy melts and finish with icing
and a candied flower. Get inspiration from Cookie Headquarters (or let them do
the work for you).
Flip flop favors and novelties
- Light up her world! They'll admire your attention to details when you present
each child with a light up flip flop pendant necklace.
- Make it tote-ally perfect! We're sure they'll all agree that the flip flop tote bag,
pictured right, is a tote-ally awesome party favor. Stuff it with flip flop gummy
candies, flip flop note pads, and other flip trinkets you find online:
