Yellow Party Decorations
The easiest way to set the scene of a yellow party theme is with lots of yellow party decorations.

However, for my favorite decoration idea, I just can’t go past this stunning yellow paper garland that would suit any yellow party.

Yellow Foods for Party
So what is the best yellow party food? There are so many easy options. Lemon, corn, pineapple, mango, squash, bananas, corn chips, tacos, pasta, cheese, curry, hot chips, crisps, tortillas, cookies, cereal, croissants, and custard.
Snacks: Corn chips and cheese dip (think chile con queso), cheese platter, curry deviled eggs, french fries, potato chips, pretzels. So many snacky treats have a yellow hue, so this part is easy.
If serving a main meal at a yellow party, why not serve cheese pizza with garlic bread or a delicious nachos platter or even macaroni and cheese? These are super easy party food ideas and are definitely crowd-pleasers. And the colors are matching without even trying!
Don’t forget to grab some yellow tableware for the party table such as napkins, disposable plates, cutlery, table cloths etc.
Yellow Desserts
There are so many deliciously yellow options to serve as a fun dessert at a yellow party. Firstly, let’s get the healthy option out of the way. Why not make an amazing fruit salad with banana, pineapple, mango, and peach. The kids might like to add yellow Jell-O or ice cream.
Other amazing yellow dessert ideas include lemon meringue pie, baked cheesecake, creme caramel, lemon tart, yellow donuts or yellow macarons.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be ALL yellow. It’s easy to add some chocolate into the mix with a yellow highlight, like the amazing dessert table below.
The easiest yellow party food option is yellow frosting / yellow icing. Add it to cakes, slices, cookies etc.
My number one hack for the easiest way to add a yellow theme desserts, cakes (and ice cream) is to use edible sprinkles. There are heaps of amazing edible YELLOW sprinkles right here.
Yellow Theme Birthday Cake
A yellow theme birthday cake could be as easy as serving a delicious baked cheesecake, or a cake decorated with sunflowers or delicious yellow icing.
Yellow Party Drinks
For adults, beer, wine and champagne are all the perfect choice for a yellow party drink. For something non-alcoholic, there is always pineapple juice, apple juice, pear juice, lemon soda, fresh lemonade, banana milkshakes and more.
Also, serve a jug of lemon water to keep guests hydrated throughout the party. And have a few whole lemons to decorate the party table for an easy decor idea.
Or how about a margarita in a cute disposable yellow glass?
Yellow Party Favors
There are so many bright and yellow party favors right here including party bags and trinkets. Of course there are a lot of emoji type trinkets to add that are yellow.
Yellow Candy Buffet
One of my favorite things to do for parties is to style a candy buffet. A yellow candy buffet is not only a table decoration but the party guests can also choose their own candy as a very sweet and easy party favor.
I like to use lots of clear jars and containers to serve the candy in and grab some yellow scoops to add to the yellow theme.
Also, there are lots of varieties of yellow candy here to stock up the candy buffet with, such as yellow M&M’s, Skittles, Lemonhead candy, Starburst, gumballs, lollipops and more.
