"Leap" Themed Party Ideas

Make your Wednesday get together easy by using what you have available. Let the literal "leap" in leap year be your guide. Use pastel tones like spring green, create green avocado garnishes for your dishes and serve fresh ingredient dishes like Avocado Spring Rolls. Accentuate with spiral vases and curly ribbon as your centerpiece.

Don't have pastel or spring themed items around your home? Try using the date number - 29 as your theme. Use 29 flowers in your bouquet, create a cake with 29 candles or prepare an easy avocado appetizer like our Avocado and Tuna Skewers with 29 to a plate.

Garnishing with Avocados 101
One of the great things about ripe yet more firm avocados is they make a fun green garnish that can be shaped in a variety of ways. From hearts and stars to rainbows, if you have a cookie cutter you can shape sliced avocado to match any theme and top any dish.
