• Paranormal Movie Night Party
  Posted on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 in Party Activities – Comments: (0)
  Has anyone seen the preview or movie “Paranormal Activity”? It is only being played in about 3,000 theaters in the whole country, and is out grossing all new release movies. It is filmed in the “Blair Witch Project” format. I seen the preview for this movie and it’s totally off the hook! This family is being haunted by a poltergeist or some type of demon. It would be great to see this movie on Halloween night. Could you imagine people dressed up in their scary Halloween costumes and masks, but having the life scared out of them watching this film. If anyone has seen the actual movie, let me hear your feed back about it, since it is not yet being shown where we live.

• Class Reunion To Class Birthday Party
  Posted on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Themed Party Ideas – Comments: (0)
  We recently celebrated our 30 year class reunion. We decided to have it in an outdoor pavilion, casual dress with a cookout style catered dinner. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was totally laid back and comfortable and the “Back Yard” style dinner instead of being uncomfortable in suits, dresses, and paying for a $50.00 a plate dinner. We usually have our reunion every five years. At this our 30 year reunion class-mates started talking about a 50 year class birthday party. What a blast that would be! Everyone loved the thought of staying with the laid back atmosphere. During our reunion we had already narrowed our birthday theme down to a Luau or a 50′s Sock Hop. We have actually planned for both ideas. As far as party supplies and decorations go. The committee that was quickly formed will soon be taking a class vote.For the Luau themed party some party decoration ideas were: Tiki torches – in ground and table top styles paper lanterns and small decorative string lights faux palm trees Luau party music Luau – Caribbean costumes and leis Tropical design place settings Thinking of having a limbo contestFor the 50′s Sock Hop themed party some party ideas were: Neon food signs 50′s music for the stroll Class mates could show in poodle skirts and leather jacketsRight now the food is undecided, but we were tossing around the idea of baked hams and pineapples with everyone bringing a side dish.

• Making Of A Man Cave
  Posted on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 in Party Activities – Comments: (0)
  The new craze sweeping the country is the “Man Cave”. Simply put a man cave is a mans private retreat to relax after a long days work. The best thing about it is they can be inexpensive to furnish and any room can be used.The floor covering could be inexpensive carpet, an area rug, vinyl tile, or even painted concrete would do. Next is furniture. An old couch, a recliner, and a table or rack to hold your favorite magazines would be enough to start. Next a man cave is not complete without a TV and stereo. Themes are always great when decorating your room. Your man cave can be decorated in what ever you love. from the Civil War to sports. If football is your thing go to a thrift store or flea market and your sure to find old pictures and posters to frame. For your Sunday football games invite your friends over and have a party.

• Wedding Table Centerpiece
  Posted on Monday, June 1st, 2009 in Party Decoration Ideas – Comments: (0)
  My friend is getting married and was asking me for advise on a wedding table centerpiece. After being told she would have two bottles of champagne sitting at each table, I told her she could just dress up the bottles with some champagne bottle wear for a great centerpiece.You see Champagne Bottle Wear fits over the bottles of champagne or wine and has one outfit with a bride’s dress (white dress and lace and pearls). The other has a black tuxedo jacket  (black tie and white rose boutonniere). She loved the idea, stating it would even end up saving her money!Related articles by Zemanta Break Tradition – Save Money!

• Home Party Games
  Posted on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 in Party Games – Comments: (0)
  When debating what type of home party games to play at your theme party, there are a few ideas I have for you to keep in mind. When determining what games to play keep in mind those games which have a participant being removed. Once a participant is out of the game, they are no longer involved in the merriment and tend to get bored. As an instance playing a board or card game such as Texas holdem or monopoly in which participants do get removed, they could sit for hours before the game comes to a completion. When your games involve scoring, try to make sure it’s a team based game and not separately, so that you can have group participation and win or lose as a team and not an individual. Whether this is a huge or little party all games should be entertaining for both the participants and those who choose to be viewers.

• Luau Party Decorations
  Posted on Sunday, May 10th, 2009 in Party Decoration Ideas – Comments: (0)
  Luau’s are one of the most fun and easy parties to decorate for. With a few well placed plastic palm trees, and lighting up the area with colorful or floral paper lanterns you have a great start. You can then place pineapples on your tables as center peices, if you don’t like that try a pillar candle with sea shells around it. For an outside party you could also light up a few tiki torches for the ambeiance, greet your guests with  leis and a kiss on the cheek. For your guest tables I’ve seen grass skirting that can be used. As far as your guests are concerned have them follow along with your luau party decorations. Have them be sure to wear grass skirts, coconut bras, or bikini tops, bright baggy shorts, even bright floral dresses.Be sure to leave a comment and tell others some of your Luau Party Decoration Ideas.
• Xmas Party Games
  Posted on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 in Party Games – Comments: (0)
  One of my favorite Xmas party games is a questionnaire made up by myself after watching years of Christmas stories and cartoons. The following is a list of some of the questions I’ve used in the past.Use these, then add some of your own. As I ask the questions, I hand out a small candy cane to the person who answers correctly. The guest with the most candy canes wins. QUESTIONS: What was the name of Rudolf’s girlfriend? Not including Rudolf name all 8 of Santa’s Reindeer? What brought Frosty to life? What was the name of the little girl who helped frosty get to the North Pole? How many sizes did the Grinches’ heart grow? What was the name of the Grinches’ dog? In the movie “The Christmas Story” what type of pajamas did Ralphie’s aunt give him for Christmas? In “The Christmas Story” what did Ralphie’s dad win in a contest?

• Pirate Birthday Party
  Posted on Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 in Party Activities – Comments: (0)
  Shiver me Timbers, if it’s a Pirate Birthday Party your maties are wanting, it’s a blast you’ll be having.Pirate party’s are one of the most popular theme party ideas to have. One of the most popular party activities would be a treasure hunt. Using a crumpled brown paper bag, create clues. Give the first clue to the captain of the pirates (the birthday boy or girl), and using pirate vocabulary describe where they (the birthday guests) can find the next clue, finally ending with them finding the hidden treasure chest, these can be found in most craft stores. The treasure chest itself should have enough in it to have something for each guest for their treat bags. You can fill the treasure chest with lots of fun items such as chocolate gold coins, gold fish crackers, eye patches, a dew rag for their head. Most of these items can be found at a discount.
