I'm planning a party for my new business which is a bakery. I plan on hosting the party in my home and I will be serving samples of my cakes, pies, etc. Since some of the people don't know each other, I don't want it to a awkward evening. We can't spend the whole night just eating so I need ideas for activites.

Essentially your throwing a tasting party. That's what people go there for. I suggest some good music, great lighting, perhaps doing a poll to see what people liked/disliked. Go to your local wine shop and pick up a few bottles of wine that will go well with your individual desserts. As long as there are sweets and good wine people will mingle.

Make a signature cake. Get every one to guess the ingredients and each guest can ask another for one ingredient from their list as a clue. That way everyone has a gathering of spoons around the cake and get talking. People who don't know anyone then has a socially legitimate reason to approach a stranger and begin a conversation asking for an ingredient guess from their list. Ask people to also write a name for the cake and leave it around the cake, which will give people an excuse to laugh/exclaim at the choices, then during the evening have a vote on the best name and award a prize. A collection of your own baked goodies

Maybe get a case of champagne or sparkling wine and serve it in limited amounts with the desserts. It goes well, cleanses the palate, lubricates social interaction and will make people like your products more.
If you make very decorative cakes, maybe you can make a centerpiece that's very memorable (but not eaten) to leave a lasting impression. And maybe you can give it away in a raffle at the party.

make a buffet in teh bakery for people to stand and move about, have good music and possibly structure the evening a bit with a speech etc; other than that find a local student bigband (small group 2 or 3 pple) and get them to make live music, that will prevent people from sticking in little crowds as they do when sat down and gets everyone moving about and talking to one another good luck

Pink streamers twisted around the room with accents of silver balloons. I like how silver might replicate off all of the crimson. Cosmopolitans are crimson beverages as are crimson lemonade. Pink tablecloths with polka dots might be best visible influence. And as tabletop decor, purchase small white vases w/ pink and crimson carnations. Or bypass the streamers and balloons and simply embellish w/ flora acknowledged above and white and crimson candles located all over the place viable.
