Project Nursery's Entertaining with Emily went for the gold with this adorable tabletop display! Create your own with gold and blue paper plates plus mint julep cups stuffed with colorful tissue paper for the Olympic torch.
Speaking of the Olympic torch, make your own edible version using traditional ice cream cones and cheese curls. Too cute! (via Living Well Spending Less)
By far, one of the most fun Olympics parties I came across was this one from Bird's Party...one of the cutest blogs around.
Some other ideas I had play off the color scheme of the Olympic rings, arguably the most recognizable thing about the Olympics.
1) Buy small tin pails in red, blue, green, black and yellow and use them to serve popcorn or other snacks at your event. [I found some at Party City]
2) Buy small plastic bowls in red, blue, green, black and yellow and use them to serve color coordinating candies. [Again, Party City]
3) Hang a garland of American flags [USA! USA! USA!]
4) Serve cupcakes with chocolate coins in gold, silver, and bronze.
5) Small colorful gift bags are great for favors.
6) Serve drinks in cups with sugared rims (color coordinating sugar in Olympics shades).
7) Play games and give out small toy medals to guests.
8) Watch classic Olympics films [Cool Runnings, Miracle, The Cutting Edge, etc]
