I’m not the DIY kind of a person, so having the watermelon party supplies already packaged does make things a bit easy. Once you figure out the decorations, you have won most of the battle. Of course, the watermelon party ideas, and the decorations that you choose will also depend on the age of the guest of honor.
For an outdoor watermelon party, this watermelon party set with plates, cups, and tablecloths would set the tone very nicely.
A Hawaii-themed balloon arrangement will also add a tropical feel to your watermelon party. Although not specifically watermelon designed, they fit well because they are also of tropical design.
I also love this personalized party banner that serves as a backdrop. You will get to personalize it for your purposes:
You can joyfully learn to make your watermelon party backdrop using these very supplies:

I must say that the idea of making your watermelon banner from a printable is probably fun, and genius! Besides the printing and the cutting – you just need twine and clothespins to have this ready to hang for your watermelon-themed party.

Watermelon themed food
Of course, you can make your own watermelon party food, following the below ideas. They are easy to pull off. You will notice that desserts and baked goods make the best watermelon-themed food for a party. Even one of these will make a difference:
1. Making lollies out of watermelon was genius! They won’t melt, or mess up with the kiddies’ teeth. Check this mom’s whole party play here. The birthday party itself is not watermelon-themed, but it was incorporated nicely.
2. Nothing will bring the summer festive atmosphere into your watermelon-themed party like these watermelon sorbet wedges.
3. The watermelon cookies are actually easy to pull off. Do your favorite cookie recipe, cut each cookie in half – and start decorating with icing sugars of various colors. Find the instructions here.
4. Ain’t no party if there’s no cake now, is there? I love how this mom pulled hers off for the baby’s first birthday.
