The next solar eclipse is right around the corner, happening on October 14th, 2023! What’s even better is that it falls on a Saturday, making it the perfect time to gather friends and family for an unforgettable gathering. So, buckle up and get ready to learn how to throw a party that’s out of this world, with a little help from your friends at Big T Tents.
Let’s Talk about Safety
First things first, let’s make sure everyone at your party can enjoy the solar eclipse safely. It’s crucial to provide eclipse glasses or solar viewers for all your guests. These glasses protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays, allowing you to gaze directly at the eclipse without damaging your eyes. Be sure to have a few extra pairs on hand in case any break or get lost.
Snacks and Sips
Now, let’s move on to the fun part: food and drinks! Solar and space-themed snacks and sips will add a touch of excitement to your party. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
Sun and Moon Pizzas: Make or order pizzas with various toppings to create a sun and moon design. For example, use pepperoni and olives to create sun rays on a cheese pizza, and a moon-shaped arrangement of toppings on another.
Galaxy Popcorn: Create a cosmic snack by drizzling melted colored chocolate over popcorn and sprinkling edible glitter or star-shaped sprinkles on top.
Meteor Meatballs: Serve meatballs on skewers as “meteors” with toothpick “tails” made of colored cellophane or paper.
Astronaut Punch: Mix up a delicious and refreshing punch with a combination of fruit juices, soda, and sherbet. For an adults-only version, add a splash of your favorite spirits.
