October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the signature color of the movement is pink. As many individuals prepare to host fundraising and charity events for the cause, why not hold your very own pink party to honor those who have beat the disease and also shed light on the research that is being done to find a cure.

Luckily, there are countless pinkdecorations and items available to throw the perfect pink party during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the best part is that these products may be reused for other events like a sweet 16 orbachelorette party, which can help to go along with the current trend of being green and environmentally friendly.

Start by sending out personalizedinvitations on light pink stationary or cards. Encourage guests to wear all pink and white to the party as well. You may also try sending invitations that have the signature pink ribbon of the breast cancer movement on it. If doing a charity tie-in, don’t forget to tell your friends beforehand so that they don’t show up without knowing they’ll be making a small donation.
