Steps to hold a white party

Location

To make an authentic white party, we need to find an outside location. It is characteristic of the parties organized in Ibiza to take advantage of the good weather outdoors. Whether on a terrace or a garden, it will provide an Ibizan look to the party.

If our location also has a swimming pool, it will be perfect for our party.

Guest List

When we organize a white party, we must make sure that all our guests come with the necessary attire. We can make invitations in which we include the requirement of the necessary clothes to go to the party.

Being a beach look, our invitations can carry sailor and beach decorations to make it more original.

Clothing

As we would clarify at the beginning, this party is known as a white party because of the color of the clothes to wear. The ideal is that all the guests appear in the party dressed in white and dressed adlib style. What it means, vaporous clothes and linen that accompany the ibicenco air of the party.

It has to be a simple dress but at the same time very chic. Linen and cotton accompany much the ibicenco style. Boys should wear pants and linen shirts, while women should wear baggy dresses and suspenders.

As footwear, to accompany the look, sandals will be used, to accompany the summer clothing. It does not matter if they are flat or platform, as long as they are comfortable to endure all night.

We must take into account the terrain where the party is held, since if it is beach, we can wear sandals that are easy to remove and go barefoot.

There is nothing better to accompany the beach and festive look than flowers in the hair. Whether in a pick up or a diadem of natural flowers, they will give a very chic touch to our attire.

In addition it is typical to use braids as adornment of the hair, these parties have to evoke the celebrations that were made in Ibiza in the hippie time of the 60 and 70.

The good thing about the white look, is that we can use any accessories we have as they will all look good. If we do not like the total white look, we can always add a touch of color through our accessories.

Decor

White parties are usually done outdoors. If you have a nice exterior, it will help you in the decoration. But, if on the contrary we do it in interiors, we can use white sheets to decorate the walls of the room. To add strength to our decoration, we can use candles and flowers and beach decoration.

If we do the party outdoors, one option is the white cloth tents. To make the party more chill out, we can use puffs or put cushions on the floors.

The flowers are very important to give more drama to our party, and we can also use torches or dim lights to get a big white party.

To give more originality to the party, the tables are covered with white table cloths that evoke the area of ​​the beaches of Ibiza. The chairs should also be white to imitate the terraces near the beach of Ibiza.

It is very typical that these holidays are aromaticen with incense or aromas of spices so traditional in the Balearic Islands and of hippie origin.

Food

The food in the white parties is characterized by the simple dishes, do not need large elaborations of menu. Snacks, skewers and canapes can be found.

Being a very informal party, the food is usually served as a buffet so that each person is served what he wants at any time. It is very common to find skewers that are easy to include in a buffet and very simple to eat without needing dishes or cutlery.

The theme of the white party is an evocation of the good weather and the quiet life of the islands, the desserts focus on refreshing things like fruits or ice cream. The food is eaten with the hands, to maintain the passion ibicenca.

Drink

In the white parties can not miss the cocktails. For some reason Ibiza is the most festive island in the Mediterranean.

In the white parties you can find a wide selection of cocktails of all kinds, and usually include juices and hailstones for people who do not want to drink alcohol.

Music

It's not a white party if you do not use chill out music. It is a great music for the guests to have fun dancing. You can also include hippie music with groups like the Beatles or Rolling Stones.
