For my husband's 30th birthday we hosted a 'Beer and Meat' themed pig roast party to celebrate! The guys roasted a pig in he backyard which was the star of the show, but here are some of the details I included:
Centerpieces: Fresh cut flowers in mason jars with a red & white check ribbon
Serve ware: Divided plates worked well for baked bean and mac & cheese sides, glass jars held silverware, pig napkin holder & red napkins.
Favors: Custom coozies I designed and ordered using the Pabst Blue Ribbon logo and changing it to say 'Chris' 30th Birthday'. I placed them in a galvanized tub lined with a red cloth napkin to match the theme.
Wine: I went for labels when choosing wine as an alternative to the beer we were offering. The 'Pig' labeled wine included La Granja Tempranillo from Trader Joe's ($3.99) and a Foodies Merlot from World Market ($7.99). We had whites too, but sadly none with pig labels.
Dessert: A help-yourself Root Beer Float station. Before the party I scooped ice cream into red solo cups and placed in our deep freezer in the garage. guests could grab a cup and fill with root beer and a red and white paper straw. I framed a sign telling guests to help themselves. I also set out tootise pops in a jar with a sign that said '30 Sucks' for the kids.
Seating: I love using high-top tables at parties so guest can easily eat without all the mess of tables and chairs. I rented three for about $10 a piece. Top with a 120" round tablecloth and tie off around the base for a professional look. I also bought
these fun picnic tables from Crate and Barrel and set them on red and white striped picnic blankets for additional seating.
Invites: To save on printing I designed the invite in black and white and printed on brown card stock for a rustic look. I found fitting images that I liked on Google images. A piece of red and white bakers twine adds some color and fit the theme.
