At the end of last summer, we hosted a back-to-school ice cream party for the kids (remember the ice cream scoop invitations?) I wanted to share all the fun we had with you all so that you can host your own ice cream party this summer!

We had games and prizes and of course, lots and lots of ice cream! The most fun decorations we made for the party were giant ice cream cones made from balloons and paper. I had a very specific use for them (you’ll see later), but they are great all-around decorations for any ice cream-themed party. Let me show you how easy they were to make! First, you will need to cut out a cone shape from some light brown paper. Roll your cone shape up and secure with a piece of tape.
