Pinktastic! How to decorate your office for Breast Cancer Awareness month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and if you’re planning to turn your office into an awareness and fundraising mecca, here are a few creative ideas that will help.

PINK RIBBON

Pink ribbon is a recognisable symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness, so incorporating it into your office décor should be the first step. Let your creativity flow with this one! You can create a beautiful paper or textile bunting of pink ribbons for the wall above the reception, so the eye- catching element is the first thing to greet your employees and customers this month.

Another cool idea is to tie little pink ribbons to various supplies and utensils around the office. That will add a festive mood to even the most mundane items.

PINK PARTY BALLOONS

Balloon installations are a quick and budget-friendly way to decorate your office. In order for your installations to look stylish and not overwhelming, mix traditional pink balloons with white ones or trendy transparent balloons with pink confetti inside. That will add colour and dimension to your decoration. At Balloon Party Box we use latex balloons that are biodegradable, so you won’t have to worry about the environmental impact of your event.

TIP
Want to offset an abundance of pink in your office?
A pink and gold combo looks absolutely incredible, as does pink and black.

SNACKS

There is no such thing as too much pink in October! If you’re hosting a fundraiser, think about your menu in advance – salmon, watermelon salad, strawberry cupcakes all make a great choice for a Breast Cancer Awareness party.

But what if there is no special dinner? You can still treat your employees and clients to cute pink candies, cookies or raw balls. Many local companies, like Spongedrop or Real Rad Food, usually offer special Breast Cancer Awareness treats. Put them in a huge jar in a place where everyone can easily access them.

DRESS CODE

Every party looks more impressive with a dress code. And there is nothing easier than having your employees dress in every shade of pink around the office. Forget ‘black tie’, pink is the colour of the month!

PARTY FAVOURS

Party favours are cute little gifts given to the guests at the end of the event. They might include things like a photo-memory of the event, pocket- sized notebook, candle, bath bomb, nail polish or sleeping mask. Whether you’re creating cute pink bundles to thank your fundraiser guests or posting them out to your biggest customers, make sure you wrap them beautifully and tie them with a ribbon!
