Fruit Baskets are Great for Birthday Parties

Fruit baskets make great decorations and great snacks for birthday parties. Whenever you have a birthday party there is sure to be someone who can’t eat cake, doesn’t like cake, or is trying to watch their diet and would prefer a healthier alternative to cake as well as traditional birthday party food like ice cream, chips, and other junk food. A large fruit basket brimming with oranges, grapefruit, tangerines and other fruits provides a healthy alternative to party food and a beautiful decoration. People who don’t want to eat cake or other sugary foods can choose their own snacks from the basket without feeling left out of the party.

Having fruit baskets around also means that you won’t run out of items you need to make delicious beverages. Nothing tastes better in punches, cocktails and specialty drinks than fresh squeezed orange juice or grapefruit juice. When you have fruit baskets decorating tables at your party you can use the fruit to replenish drinks, make more punch, and freshen up your guest’s cocktails. If there are a lot of kids at the party offering fruit instead of a lot of sugared snacks will ensure that the kids don’t get too worked up or hyper as a result of a sugar rush. You can also give out healthy fruit as party favors, just let the kids choose their own piece of fruit from the fruit basket.

Fruit baskets can be as simple or as ornate as you choose, so no matter what type of birthday party you’re planning you can find a fruit basket that will fit in with the theme of the party. A simple basket tied with a ribbon in the color scheme of the party overflowing with ripe oranges is elegant and tasteful. A large colorful basket packed with assorted citrus fruits and even additional treats like chocolates or nuts can add a bright splash of color to a gift table or punch table at a large table. You can even use small fruit baskets as centerpieces on the guest tables at large parties. If you’re holding a birthday brunch or breakfast baskets of grapefruit are a nice alternative to egg dishes or other heavy breakfast foods for people who don’t usually eat a big breakfast.

Because there is such a variety of fruit baskets to choose from you can also find one to fit almost any budget. Even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on decorations or snacks for the party there is a citrus fruit basket that you can afford.
