As soon as the first yellow leaf falls to the ground, and the melons are covered with striped giant balls, you know: it’s the perfect time for a watermelon party. A wonderful theme for a birthday or a noisy summer farewell.
Catch creative ideas for decorating a watermelon party from Pustunchik - create and have fun! Bright, colorful and juicy, a watermelon party will captivate your guests so much that they will not want to return home.
Decor
The combination of bright red and lush greenery is the main color scheme of the holiday. To add recognition to the decor, use two shades of green - light and dark, like on the crust. To decorate a space in a watermelon style you will need:
- garlands of paper balls and triangles;
- from corrugated paper you will get original watermelon pom-poms if you fold the sheets correctly: red in the center, and alternately dark and light green at the edges;
- Balloons . Place black dots on the red balls using varnish or acrylic, like seeds. You can buy ready-made attributes for a watermelon party (the same balls, garlands, straws, etc. are definitely on sale);
- sunflowers or decorative flowers reminiscent of them;
- figures carved from this berry (you can invite a carving artist to entertain guests);
- for decorating literally everything, from walls to furniture and a table with treats, watermelon slices are useful - paper, drawn, appliqué, fabric (miniature or even pillows - all this is easy to do if you have time to organize a party).
Do you want to surprise your guests? Try to buy a square or yellow watermelon ! In addition to being used for decoration, these unusual berries can also be eaten. And in taste they are not inferior to “classic potbellies”.
Many design ideas are obvious, but the effects are entirely on topic. If you live where watermelons are grown, decorate the arrangements with real melons - the carved leaves are very beautiful! And if the watermelon-themed party is held outdoors, make lanterns from huge scraped berries (like Halloween pumpkins). Another idea is to pour water into the empty crust halves, add shells and pebbles to the bottom, and let flowers or candles float on top.
To make the bottom aesthetically smooth, polish the crust from the inside with a hard sponge. Make a beautiful edge - with teeth or a wave. To prevent the “bowls” from collapsing, trim the bottom crust a little.

Dessert idea: Fruit pizza “Watermelon”
Ingredients: sponge cake, cream cheese, strawberries, kiwi and chocolate chips
Spread the cake with whipped cream or any other cream of your choice, and then place kiwi slices around the edge and strawberry slices in the center. Place chocolate chips on top to imitate watermelon seeds.
How to cut a watermelon airplane
Step 1 Choose a symmetrical watermelon. If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottom to improve stability. Step 2 Use something sharp (knitting needle, skewer, etc.) to draw the outlines as shown in the picture. Cut and remove sections A, B and C. Step 3 Cut out the side wings, propeller and tail sections from section "A"; scoop out the pulp, leaving only a trace of red color; drain the juice from the watermelon. Step 4 Trim the wings and tail as shown; use shortened skewers to attach wings and tail. Step 5 Use a short skewer decorated with grapes to attach the screw; kiwi halves instead of wheels. Step 6 Fill the plane with your favorite fruits.
Invitations, banners, posters
Of course, here everything is in a recognizable style - an invitation to a watermelon party should be striped green, bright red and perky and juicy! We offer three design ideas:
- card folded in half. Paint the outer side with green stripes, and the inner side red with black speckles;
- striped “pocket” , inside there is a red postcard. Removable by the ribbon;
- paint or cover the box with colored paper (the outside is crusty, and the inside walls are red with “seeds”). Inside the box are “watermelon” sweets - marmalade or candies, which are not difficult to find in the store. And a card with the text of the invitation, of course. Don’t forget to include these sweets in the menu – they are ideal for table decoration.
If you need a poster, banners or posters, use funny inscriptions along with watermelon slices and familiar shades:
- "Spit on the problems"
- “Smash problems like a watermelon on asphalt”
- "Taste the joy"
- "Striped anti-stress."
You can also “scare” guests who are not lacking a sense of humor:
- "Come and get a watermelon"
- “Entrance to the toilet is 1000 rubles”,
- “Don’t you like watermelons? Roll!”
- “We provide insurance to those who burst.”
Suits
Coming up with a beautiful outfit for a watermelon party is also easy: a minimum of details, a maximum of recognizable shades and combinations! Just a few simple ideas:
- green skirt, trousers or shorts, red T-shirt with bones sewn on;
- a loose red dress, sew on the bones, put on green beads and shoes;
- We sew a full skirt from the mesh (the upper layers are red, the lower layers are green in two shades). Top – short top or T-shirt;
- a tight red dress, short (such that, together with the bottom, the watermelon outfit will be the desired length). Sew several stripes of green shades to the hem;
- using fabric dye to remake white T-shirts and shorts (it's very quick and easy!).
You can rent costumes for a watermelon party or ask guests to come dressed in green and red. You can prepare accessories for friends - beads, clips, hats, ties, glasses, etc. All this is easy to do or redo (paints, applications) with your own hands. And you will probably be able to buy something in the theme - this is a very popular summer motif. By the way, watermelon manicure and makeup looks very impressive!
If you are preparing a children's watermelon party, organize a costume contest - let the mothers sew something completely original for the children. There are a lot of options, there would be time to prepare. Although many adults also like such competitions, especially when it is really easy to bring an idea to life!
Invite friends!
The most fun party is a noisy one. To make your friends want to visit it long before the holiday, prepare colorful invitations . The unusual design of the cards will make children feel the taste of watermelon on their lips!
To make the party bright and colorful, inform guests in advance about the dress code : clothes in green and red colors. And don’t yawn yourself: prepare interesting accessories for the participants of the holiday. Crowns, earrings, caps, ties and fans in the shape of watermelons are what you need!
Menu
And again, my dears, they are sweet, juicy and ripe! Trite? Not at all, if you approach the presentation creatively:
- huge slices in a heap on a wide dish;
- figures in crust bowls (cut pulp with cookie cutters);
- balls of pulp in a transparent bowl, sprinkled or poured with something beautiful and contrasting;
- canapes of watermelon and other fruits, also contrasting in color;
- cubes of pulp in “caps” of cream and other goodies.
It is easy to find watermelon ice cream, marmalade and lollipops, and marshmallows on sale. But it’s better to make homemade drinks for a watermelon party. The juice of this berry goes well with citrus fruits, blueberries and strawberries, pineapples, vanilla, and mint. If you add mineral water and pieces of fruit, you get a delicious punch. The menu for a juicy watermelon party simply has to be bright - don’t be modest with decorations.
Candied fruits, honey and jam are prepared from watermelons, they are salted and pickled, and added to salads (for example, watermelon + feta cheese + herbs). There is something to amaze your guests!
Watermelon juice also goes well with strong alcoholic drinks. Prepare several cocktails or organize a bar - beautifully arranged glasses, fruits and mint for decoration, a “battery” of strong drinks - friends will be able to choose for themselves what to mix and in what proportions.
Of course, you don’t have to treat your friends only to watermelons. Prepare any dishes, and achieve integrity by decorating the table in a watermelon style. To stay on topic, just buy two-color napkins and “scatter” watermelon slices (miniature paper ones, for example) around the table. A white tablecloth will also work – bright dishes against a light background look more impressive.
Watermelon party
The best picnic is a picnic organized on a hot summer day :). Therefore, we recommend that you organize a picnic in the Watermelon Party style.
Watermelons - juicy fruits - are bright harbingers of summer. Everyone loves to eat watermelon. So why not make a party for your friends in this design?
You can also use watermelon party ideas to throw a kids birthday party!
To begin with, think about the design of the table, room or yard where the holiday will take place. Use black, red and green colors - the main colors for a holiday in this style.
Be sure to make sure that the room is decorated in a style appropriate for the holiday. You can inflate balloons, use a red tablecloth or red flags with drawn watermelon seeds :).
Are you preparing a children's party? You can’t do without elegant dresses and bright “Happy Birthday!” signs here.
All those present can leave their wishes to the birthday boy by placing a card in a special pocket :). To make a pocket, use colored cardboard or fabric, such as chintz.
Watermelon is an excellent chilled snack on a hot day. For your guests, for example, you can prepare canapés consisting of watermelon and Feta cheese.
You can also decorate the watermelon cubes with finely chopped egg and fresh cucumber.
Pick skewers from strawberries, watermelon and small berries like currants and blueberries.
Or make small dessert snacks with slices of white grapes, strawberries and peach.
Watermelon can also be an excellent “stand” for fruit skewers.
In addition, you can make a snack from fresh cucumbers, walnuts and Brynza cheese.
An excellent appetizer with ham and cheese.
If you are organizing a watermelon party, do not forget about the correct presentation of the dishes. You should not use only watermelon in dishes, but its theme should be visible in the style of all prepared delicacies - muffins, pies, salads and even meat dishes.
You can use ice cream as a delicious dessert, but what's a watermelon party without watermelons?
