Fraternity & Sorority Social Ideas





Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Amanda and I'm one of the sales associates here at Confetti Party Headquarters. I'm also a recent alumnae member of a very large International Sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta at California State University, Chico. Many of you may not know much about sororities or fraternities, but one of the fun events we like to plan are our socials and dances with other Fraternities or just dates of our choice. These are always fun events and a great way to get to know other people on campus.



One of my favorite themes for socials is Italian Wedding, where we elect a mock bride and groom for the night to "get married." We all wear funny costumes and it's always a blast. For this theme, my sorority has used a number of different decorations. One of my favorite styles of confetti to use is the Wedding cake confetti. They're adorable three-tiered wedding cakes that have so much detail, you would almost think they're real.



Some other themes my sorority likes to use are Mardi Gras, Casino Royale, and Rock 'n Roll.
We have so many styles to choose from that sometimes its hard to pick just one. My favorite Mardi Gras confetti to use is a mixture that has the words "Mardi Gras," masks and lots of colorful stars. These always add a little something extra to our events and really impress our guests.


We don't use our confetti just to decorate tables at dances either. Sometimes we decide to spruce up our balloons by adding some confetti to them. I like to put the prismatic silver stars into a balloon before I blow it up. It just gives it that extra special shine.



Also, I came up with the great idea to use confetti to decorate our house on an everyday basis. All of our coffee tables and end tables in our sorority house have glass coverings on them and every year we change all of the pictures under them. This year, I decided to spruce them up by adding a little bit of confetti on each table. I added the red rose confetti, because that is Alpha Gamma Delta's flower. I also threw in a few of the black stilletto high heels confetti to add a little girliness to it. They look great and it's another way to give your house a unique feeling. Whatever you decide to do, be creative!!

We're also hoping to get the greek alphabet soon as a part of our inventory, so keep looking for that!
