How to Throw the Ultimate Summer Cactus Party

I was provided product samples free of charge from Oriental Trading in exchange for my honest opinion. No other compensation was provided for this post.

Most of you already know that I am completely and absolutely obsessed with cacti and succulents!  I mean, who isn’t these days?  So you probably also know that I’m not too good at keeping them alive.  When my husband and I went to pick out succulents for our planter project last week, he joked that he gave our new plants two weeks to live under my care.  The cashier said, “Oh no!  These are easy to keep alive!”  I laughed and replied, “You want to make a bet?”

So far – I’m happy to report – our new succulents are still kicking!  That’s worth celebrating!  And speaking of celebrations, if you’re cactus obsessed like I am and busy wrapping up your summer celebrations, consider throwing a cactus-themed party!  

We were able to set up a small cactus deck party during our anniversary weekend with Oriental Trading‘s help. Have you seen their collection of cactus party supplies? A-MAZING!  They’ve got everything you need to throw the ultimate end-of-summer cactus party! For a cactus lover like me, I know I’ll be using some of these decorations over and over again!

The cactus party picks looked adorable in the small cheese plate I made for us to snack on.  The small plate was made with toasted rounds, marinaded wild mushrooms, caperberries, artichokes, Gouda cheese, white cheddar, hot peppers from our garden, salami, and prosciutto. So good!

The decorations looked great among the backdrop of my cactus-filled planters around the deck.  Instead of hanging the paper fan decorations, I had them laying around the table.  Cactus print paper plates and napkins ensured that I would have easy clean-up when we were finished.  The gold mercury candle holders added a pretty sparkle and the cactus tumblers were such a fun touch (I used one to hold our cactus picks)!
