With these tips, you can host your own Olympics-themed party to get in the mood for Rio 2016. Whether you’re hosting a viewing party for the opening ceremonies or for your favorite events, you can throw a fantastic gathering.
Decorations
You have lots of color schemes to choose from. You could decorate with gold, silver or bronze. You can also incorporate the Olympic rings into your decorations, and use the blue, yellow, black, red and greens from the rings. And of course, the torch is another classic symbol of the events. You can find Olympics-themed decorations at Oriental Trading.
