16 Pink Food Ideas For Your Next Party

There are all sorts of reasons you might be planning an all-pink party, or simply a party with lots of pink in its color palette. Regardless of the reason, there are also tons of pink foods out there that’ll work with your theme! We’ve put together a list of our 16 favorite pink food ideas to help you get inspired as you plan your party menu.

And what about your party location? If you don’t have an all-pink space of your own in which to celebrate, or if you would prefer to rent out a venue for your party instead of having it at home, you can look for one on Peerspace. It’s the leading online marketplace for hourly rentals of party venues as well as all other sorts of spaces—just take a look at party spaces for rent near you to get a sense of what’s out there. 

After nailing down the perfect pink venue, next up is to plan out what pink foods you’ll be serving your guests. Here are our top suggestions!

1. Let your guests crunch and munch on pink popcorn

We’re listing this pink food idea first because popcorn tends to be a crowd-pleaser, and pink popcorn is even more appealing! Imagine serving your guests this adorable treat in a large clear glass bowl.

2. Dazzle the eye by crafting a pink charcuterie board

What happens when you take a food presentation format that’s already aesthetically pleasing and make the whole thing a bunch of different shades of pink? You get a beautiful pink charcuterie board with tons of tasty snacks to choose from.

3. Upgrade your menu by serving pink macarons

Macarons come in lots of beautiful pastel colors, including gorgeous shades of pink! Consider including pink French macarons as part of your pink food ideas and watch your guests devour every bite.

4. Cool off by serving aesthetic pink lemonade popsicles

Are you throwing your party during the summer, perhaps outdoors in the heat (like at a pool party)? Help your guests cool off in style with these lovely pink lemonade popsicles, which have chunks of strawberries inside.

We can picture serving these stylish pops poolside at this historic designer home in Nashville, TN, that’s beautiful inside and out.

5. Make tacos with homemade pink corn tortillas

Have you ever seen pink tortillas? We’ll bet your guests haven’t! The pink in these is so vivid, that your guests likely won’t even realize the color comes from canned beets.

6. Go super decadent by serving gooey pink cinnamon rolls

With their delicious vanilla glaze and rosy pink hue, the author of this recipe suggests that these pink cinnamon rolls would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day party—we agree, but would also happily consume these cinnamon rolls any time of year!

7. Wow them by dishing out some pink mac and cheese

What makes this mac and cheese pink? Don’t worry—it’s beets here, too! Thanks to the beets, this recipe is not only a beautiful color, but it’s also pretty healthy.

8. Add some Asian inspiration with pink potstickers

Here’s another savory option that’s going to be more filling than many of the sweet treats on this list: these stunning pink dumplings! 

You know what goes well with these adorable potstickers? An adorable all-pink event space, like this cute pink stylish cafe in Orange, CA. Check it out!

9. Go elegant with bowls of watermelon gazpacho

This pink gazpacho is a cold soup, which makes it another ideal pink food idea for a summer party with warm weather. It contains tomato, strawberry, and watermelon, all of which contribute to its stunning hue and refreshing flavor. 

10. Go sweet and tangy by serving a pink pineapple

Pinkglow pineapples have only been available for a few years, which makes them feel like an extra special addition to your party food options! They taste a lot like regular pineapples, but their pink color sets them apart and will have your guests asking how you got them to be such a beautiful color (they grow like this, amazingly).

11. Serve a stunning pink radicchio salad

This gorgeous salad contains blood orange, grapefruit, pink radicchio leaves, radishes, fennel, and more, which is topped with a combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It truly looks as good as it tastes.

12. Compliment brunch by crafting pink crêpes

If you’re having a breakfast or brunch gathering with an all-pink theme, these pink crêpes are a visually impressive addition. The taste is also complex, with poppy seeds and blood orange sauce—any foodies at your party are sure to be especially impressed by these thin pancakes.

Did you know that Peerspace can connect you with local brunch restaurants so you can let someone else take care of the cooking? It’s true! For example, our friends in British Columbia should check out this bright and vibrant full-service brunch restaurant in Victoria. It’s a beautiful space with a full brunch menu that they can tailor to your preferences. Tell them about your pink food theme and see what they can come up with!

13. Tempt palates with roasted hummus

As many of the items on this list of pink food ideas have already demonstrated, pink foods don’t have to be sweet, even though we generally think of desserts when we imagine them. Another example: this roasted beet hummus, which is a super bright shade of pink and is also quite healthy and tasty.

14. Serve your own crave-worthy strawberry fudge

You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make this decadent pink fudge! It’s white chocolate flavored with pieces of strawberry throughout, providing flavor and textural contrast. 

15. Top a salad with strawberry dressing

Even if your salad isn’t pink like the one we suggested in list item #11, you can still top it with a bright pink strawberry dressing. We think the green of the leaves and other veggie ingredients will contrast beautifully with the pink of the dressing.

16. Use pink containers for serving food

In addition to serving dishes from this list of pink food ideas at your party, what about serving those foods in pink containers and on pink plates and platters to really keep the visual theme going? This bright pink platter from Party City is an affordable disposable option, while something like this pink beaded glass cake stand from West Elm is a bit more expensive but can be used many times over.
