A party of Olympic proportion

Are you getting excited for the Summer Olympics??

Opening Ceremony in T-1 day.  WhooHoo!

To celebrate, why not host an Olympic-themed get together?

Here is some inspiration to jump start your party planning...

Color scheme, as follows:

Fun cupcakes with the classic Olympic rings + your native country's flag!

Speaking of rings, throw in appropriate-hued Lifesavers into your cocktail.

Instant Olympics!

Or, perhaps to be traditionally British,

make a refreshing, classic Pimms' Cup.

Consider serving a wide variety of ethnic foods to represent the various countries.

And hand out "medals" for Olympic sports trivia!

I think I am most excited for the gymnastics and swimming events,

while my husband is pumped for USA basketball.

What sporting events are you looking forward to?

Faster, higher, stronger!
