Invitations
Get the birthday party mood going with bright dots invitations. Bright dots party supplies feature brightly colored dots and recall the lighthearted, fun-loving mood that fills the air at the very best girls’ birthday parties.

Decorations
These brightly colored dots lend themselves well to either modern or retro party themes. For a retro dcor, use smiley faces and peace signs to complement the bright dots decorations. To create a centerpiece bouquet, hot glue large colored dots, peace signs and smiley faces onto shish kabob skewers and stick them into a florists foam base. Place the base inside a white vase, then embellish with wide ribbons in colors that match the colors of the dots. Finish the look with a bright dots tablecloth, bright dots party ware and a sprinkling of matching confetti around the vase. For a more modern party theme, substitute large colored dots for the smiley faces and peace signs. Add streamers, bunting and a bright dots happy birthday sign.

Dress Code
Have guests wear solid-colored shirts that match the colors of the dots. For a retro birthday party, give large smiley face and peace sign buttons to each guest as they arrive, to be worn during the party.

Games, Activities and Music
Teens and preteens like their own music, so allow the birthday girl to choose the music, or, if the birthday party is a surprise, ask one of her close friends or a brother or sister to select the playlist. Games like musical chairs and activities like door prizes are still fun at this age, but movies, swimming or a scavenger hunt are better choices to make up the bulk of the entertainment.

Food
Teen and preteen girls are old enough to enjoy sharing a meal with friends, but still young enough to prefer foods like pizza, burgers, chicken fingers and fries. Non-caffeinated soft drinks in bright colors add to the festive mood.

Birthday Cake or Cupcakes
A white confetti cake with colored dot sprinkles scattered merrily across it is the perfect cake for a bright dots party. If you have decided on the retro bright dots theme, consider a smiley face or peace sign transfer in the center of the cake. A more modern look can be achieved by serving cupcakes iced with smooth fondant icing in the bright dots colors.

Party Favors
Pin small peace sign, smiley face and bright dots buttons to white painters caps for contest or door prizes. Bright dots, peace sign and smiley face necklaces, stickers and erasers make excellent goody bag fillers along with brightly colored button candies and candy-coated chocolates.
