How to Throw a Beyonce-Inspired Party Because It’s Bey-Day, Y’all!
Hear ye! Hear ye! Thou shalt take thine freak-um dresses out of thine closets and and run thine world for today is BEY-DAY! That's right folks, today marks the momentous occasion of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's birthday! The ever-evolving megastar turns 33 today and she's as bold and inspiring as ever. Just take a look at #BeyDay on Twitter and see how the BeyHive is already losing its collective mind over this most exalted day.
Now, I'm sure Queen Bey is celebrating in the most opulent/classy/fierce/flawless way. Or maybe she's just kicking back on her couch with her family. Doubtful. It's probably more along the lines of endless champagne with gold-dusted cupcakes. However, even if we can't all party like Bey on Bey-Day, we can at least throw our own Bey-Day party. Turn up the volume, it's time to celebrate.
Have the Right Playlist
From the early days of Destiny’s Child to the self-titled album that changed the pop world forever, it’s all Bey all day. Sorry Jay, you only get to appear as a guest vocalist!
Prepare a Bey-Themed Feast
Bake a luxurious Bey-hive cake, grill up Nathan’s hot dogs for a Coney Island classic that pays homage to Bey’s “XO” video, and stir up a bit of Tex-Mex and Creole to celebrate Houston cuisine.
Party Favors
Minnie Mouse bows, blow pops, mini-surfboards, and hand-held fans for that forever-wind-in-the-hair look… all of which are tied up in blue gift bags with ivy ribbon!

Pin the Michelle on the Destiny's Child
What’s a theme party without quirky party games? Since Michelle always seems to get the shaft when it comes to her place in Destiny’s Child, now it’s time for ALL THE MICHELLE’S! Print out a large pic of Bey and Kelly, and print out multiple pics of Michelle and voilà! Now you have a game. Who ever places Michelle as close to Bey and Kelly wins!
Bey crafty
Cut out some “Flawless” stencils, grab some pink paint and black tote bags for the perfect party take-away! And since Beyoncé always preaches the power of female unity and friendship, make these gorgeous chevron friendship bracelets with honey bee charms.
Bey-spiration
Decorate the walls in your favorite Bey lyrics and inspiring quotes because ain’t no party like a feminist Beyoncé celebration party! Or, have a black Bey board where your friends write in pink paint pens their own aspirations and Bey-spirations.
