Barbiecore - How to throw the ultimate Pink Party

Back to blog

 It’s time to think pink! 

To celebrate the release of the highly anticipated Barbie movie, we’re talking all things pink with this super on-trend theme: Barbiecore. 

While Barbiecore has been around for many years, we have seen a resurgence of the theme across fashion, accessories, homeware and now... party! Whether you’re throwing a pre cinema trip or have a birthday coming up, we’re here to help, and we’ve pulled together a list to inspire your upcoming pink party.

Room Decorations

Decorating the room is by far the most important element of your party and there are so many avenues to explore - and the decorations are the first thing your guests will see as they enter. 

We love to add a balloon arch to the room as part of our decorations, we prefer this pink and rose gold balloon arch kit to tie into our Barbie theme - but if overpowering pink isn’t your preference, we also love this matte peach and pink balloon arch.

 Why not add these pink honeycomb decorations around the room or even hang from the ceiling as a fun focal point. We love to hang these above the food table when hosting dinner parties to allow for more space on the table. Pair these with these lovely pink pinwheel fans to add some more texture and to vary the shapes in the decorations. 

Photobooth

If you’re planning on dressing up for the occasion, adding a backdrop to your party will take your outfit posts to the next level! Adding our pink ombre party backdrop to the room will make sure your guests know the perfect place to take those all important party photos. Pair with some fun photo booth props to add some fun elements to your photos.

 Table Decorations

Whether you’ve got a simple food table for snacks and drinks or you’re planning a dinner party, decorating the table is a must. Add some flowers to add a soft scent and texture, our favourites this season are Dahlias, Ranunculus with some sweet peas added in. If real isn’t your thing or you’d like to reuse, we love our artificial Gypsophila for a subtle floral hint, or use our faux Ranunculus to make more of a statement. If you prefer foliage over floral, our soft pink faux bunny tails are the perfect addition.  

You could also add something different, candles add a luxury touch to any tables, we love these matte black candle holders paired with some pink dinner candles, or if you’d rather a softer addition, these glass bottle dinner candle holders are perfect.

Pink tableware is a great way to tie in the theme on the table, this pink wooden cutlery set is perfect for any picky foods, we love to pair these with these lovely pink paper cups and let’s party hot pink straws. If you’d prefer something more reusable, these pink glass straws will do the trick!

Balloons

No party is complete without balloons. Whether you are making a focal point with them, leaving them on the floor for a statement or filling them with helium and letting them stick to the ceiling, we have the balloons you need. With our party theme in mind, we have collated our favourite pink balloons. 

These pink confetti balloons and pink tissue confetti balloons are perfect for adding a subtle pink touch to your decor.

We love these star party balloons as they can be personalised with any text which can be tied into our barbiecore theme. 


And these pink and rose gold balloons are a perfect staple and can even be used with our balloon mosaic.
