Charm bar party ideas

4 min read · Petal Charms

A charm bar is a table of charms and bracelets that guests mix and match. It makes a sweet, relaxed activity for friends.

Here is how to set one up in an afternoon.

Set the table

Lay out a cloth, a few small bowls and a tray. Put each charm in its own spot so guests can see what they like.

Our charm bar starter set has a bracelet and about five charms. Plan one set for each guest. The link chain bracelet is a stacking piece guests can wear alongside it.

Add the details

Add a small mirror, a few cards with the birth flower list from our charm guide, and some pretty napkins.

Offer tea, lemonade or a snack. A light bite keeps the mood easy.

Keep the pace relaxed

Let guests take their time. Some will pick a flower for their month, and others will pick one for someone else.

End with a photo of everyone's bracelets. It makes a nice keepsake. For more, see the charm bracelet guide.

Plan the numbers

Count your guests a week ahead and order early. Our shipping is free across the USA on orders of $35 or more, which helps when you buy several sets. Choose one tone for the whole table, or offer both so guests can pick their favorite. Keep a few small pouches handy.
