the simplest instruments

Ukuleles are a little more involved as far as instruments go, but they are still easy to pluck a tune on and they make great additions to your tropical themed party. A mini Ukulele positioned just so as a table centerpiece will add much to your décor.

You can also pick up some fun inflatable instruments to coin pearl necklace scatter around your party area. This decoration works well for rock and roll parties.

Add a lot of flavor to your party with some easy musical instruments. Guests are more inclined to get involved on the dance floor if they’ve got an instrument in hand an easy beat to move to.

Maracas are one of the simplest instruments to play. All you need to do is shake them and they make noise for you. Get some maracas for your next Mardi Gras party and stage your own Mardi Gras parade with all the guests shaking their maracas. There are lots of maracas in shiny metallic colors with silver or gold tinsel hanging from the ends. Or you can pick up some genuine wooden maracas with pretty coastal scenes painted on pearl oyster them. A package of one dozen neon maracas makes for great party favors to hand out and the neon will glow under a black light.

The tambourine is another easy instrument to play even if it doesn’t get many really long solos in musical scores. You can certainly hand out a few at your next party to create a musical sound. Neon tambourines also add a lot of pearl jewelry color to your party. They come in neon green, pink and yellow and are about five and a half inches in diameter. If you are looking for something that can be given as a party favor then pick up some mini tambourines. These are only three and a half inches in diameter and make really cute additions to the loot bag.
