How we once organized Bachelor Party…

A friend of mine made up to get married when it struck him 44! It’s never late to do that, however, and we decided to organize an unforgettable Bachelor Party for him.

Hell Froze Over was the theme of it, ‘cause not every day a 44-year old man gets married for the first time being a convinced bachelor! The invitations were also dedicated to this theme. The key phrase was “Hell Froze Over”! (We also used these words as specific password!)

We decided to organize two tables: the table-ice and the table-fire. The fire table was covered with a red a table cloth. The place settings were set in orange. In each clear glass we used orange and red illuminated light cubes. Imagine, how the the glasses were glowing when the guests arrived! We also used red paper lanterns to lay emphasis on the fire table. As table confetti we used chili peppers. The napkins had the opposite color to the table cloth. For the ice table, we used a light blue tablecloth. the whole combination looked really imazing! We didn't feel sorry for having decorated the party in such a way! Around the table there were glass confetti cubes (blue and white). Each light blue glass had a blue glow stick in it. For the food we had hot wings, chili and Baked Alaska.

The whole picture was really very vivid and was really a sight for sore eyes. If you have good imagination, you can see the vividness of Hell Froze Over! Afterwards we had real show and enjoyed the party immensely! Thanks God, my friend didn’t change his mind to get married after such a party!!! So, the Hell really Froze Over!!!

Various ideas for teen parties: for parents and their kids. Part II

I am sure, that variability of Miscellaneous Parties is so great, that it really deserves another article like an addition to the previous one.

Hotel Party.
If you don’t feel like making a considerable turn-out after the celebration and are going to invite many guests, rent several rooms at the hotel. You’ll save time, nerves and energy, but will get enough space to invite as many guests as you like and can organize even a sleepover party if you have such a desire. All the decorations and theme of your party won’t suffer, if you invest enough energy into the proper organization.

Sleepover Party.
If the party doesn’t presuppose many guests, you may organize a sleepover party. Kids usually like such parties, ‘cause they don’t have to hurry home and feel some excitement of spending the night out. Weather permitting, you may have some tents in the yard and enjoy a scout-party. Don’t overindulge in scaring each other; otherwise you are risking remaining in your tent alone!
If you stay in, choose a movie you want to watch or a game you want to play before going to bed.

Spa Party.
No girls will ever refuse having such kind of a party! Endless massage, different masks, manicure, pedicure, hair treatment… The procedure can be endless! Each girl should take care of her appearance since her childhood and she should know how to do it correctly!
After spa procedures, you may organize some competitions and give cosmetic sets as presents.
Spa Parties are an ideal variant for young fashion-conscious women!

Casino Party.
Usually organized for adults, casino party may be adapted for teenagers. Decorations can be the same, ideas for costumes may be taken from the favorite film, and scenario may be formed on the spur of the moment. The thing you should take care of – alcohol. If the party is for kids, see to eat that they don’t drink like in a real casino!

Movie Party.
You are sure to have your favorite film and are eager to watch hundred of times! Why not make it a theme of your party? Let’s take, for instance, Titanic. Touching love story against the background of terrible tragedy will not leave girls indifferent. Your decorations may resemble those of a ship; your costumes can correspond to those times as well as the scenario of your party.
Guys are likely to choose another film for their movie party. It is not that important what film you choose, the most important is that you and your guests enjoy the party and get a number of positive memories!

Of course, it is not the whole list of all possible Miscellaneous Parties. These are just the most popular ones. But it’s up to you to decide what you need and what you want to organize. In any case, your party will be original, unique and is sure to bring you and your guests lots of pleasure and positive emotions!

Various ideas for teen parties: for parents and their kids

It is really sometimes difficult to pick up the right theme for your teen party, especially when you want to do something special of it. Recently Miscellaneous Parties have become rather popular, but it is to be noted that they are also subdivided into several more. Let’s have a closer look at these types for you not to be confused.

The originality and extraordinariness of these parties are all down to your imagination and creativity, there are no unique tips of advice for making a hit. You can take the following information into consideration while organizing a party for your child. By the way, don’t forget to involve him/her into the process of organization, let him/her absorb the feeling of the preparation process, make him/her feel responsible for the success of the party and interested in the very process.

Chocolate party.
It’s easy to guess that this theme is closely connected and presupposes lots of chocolate. Everything’s connected with chocolate: the theme itself, games, competitions, gifts, decorations etc. A nice idea, but be careful, otherwise the guests can overeat and have problems. The best way out is to limit the number of chocolate if you feel that such a danger exists, but don’t want to give up this idea.

Fashion designer party.
This kind of a party is mostly connected with the desire of a child. The main idea here is to organize a fashion show, besides it is desirable that the clothes you are going to demonstrate is unique, I mean, created on your own from some old garments, old loose dresses or faded suit. Otherwise you can use your brains and change typical ideas about clothes: consider jeans to be not jeans, but something else, let’s say skirts or shirts or simply try to have your cake and eat it too while combining incompatible! No one knows how great and unexpected the results can be! Perhaps, you’ve made up your mind as far as your future profession is concerned???

Harry Potter party.
We cannot do without Harry Potter any longer! Everybody is aware of this young magician with a difficult fate, but kind and strong heart. Why not choosing it as a theme of your party???
Start with the invitations. You may subscribe them as follows, “Dear (insert character name)You have been accepted to Hogwarts school of Withcraft and wizardry. Please meet at Platform 9 3\4. If you want to add more excitement to the party, suggest your guests wearing costumes of their favorite character. If you consider yourself to be to “old” for wearing costumes, omit this stage (I wouldn’t advice to do that, however!). Think of creating some magic atmosphere and make your guests feel as if they suddenly found themselves at Hogwarts… All the rest is up to your imagination and fantasy.

Surprise party.
This is the best variant for those who know how to keep secrets and pretend as nothing really happened in order to make a surprise party a surprise. Regarding the personality, the age, character and hobbies of your hero of the occasion, you can organize something to his/her heart’s content. The main idea to keep it in secret, what is not always possible to do with kids! :-)

To be continued...

Organize the 70s Fancy Dress Party instead of your monotonous weekends!

Actually, it is not only this time of the week, when you can allow yourself to organize some kind of a ball. If your imagination is not stale and enables you to create some fine ideas from time to time, you can suggest having such a party at work, at your or your friend’s birthday. You may devote it to some holiday or just make a holiday on your own!

Adults are sure to recall the time of their if not youth (we are still young, of course), then teens. They dance till they are quite exhausted and feel elated despite numerous problems with children, spouses and work. It’s really a fun to get together at such a party, enjoy yourself, feel as if at the first date or at one of the first discos.

If you are going to organize such a party, you do not even have to bother about the theme. If you say “Guys, what about having a kind of the 70s dress party?” everybody will already be in the right mood for the party. Besides, in this case you leave more space for imagination while choosing costumes!

Aha, about costumes… The choice here is endless. You may be Abba, the Pimps; if you are going in a group you have the whole Scooby Doo gang available. Grease 70s costumes with the Pink ladies, Star Wars Storm Troopers and Darth Vader, or if you're going to stand out from the herd, the Rocky Horror Show fancy dress is always available.

If you do not feel like being somebody else, you can simply dress according to the fashion of the 70s. Glitter jackets, platforms, tinsel wigs will do all right.

But you don’t have to think of the theme of the party; do not let other things drift. Invite a good DJ and decide what music your guests will enjoy during the party. Do not turn your great ides of the 70s fancy party into a drinking bout! Make your guests enjoy themselves without alcohol or at least do not make the list of spirits too long! (you know, what I mean, don’t you?J) Recall some funny games from that time and suggest playing some of them! Use your brains and think, what activity you’d like to have or how to make your guests interested. If you do everything sincere, do not hide your feelings and emotions, it is difficult to fail to notice! Good luck and enjoy!

Bachelorette parties the way they should be

I won’t be mistaken if I say that each girl and woman would like to experience all the excitement of a bachelorette party: laugh, joy, happiness, freedom, friends, surrounding you!

These are usually bridesmaids, especially the maid of honor, who initiate this kind of a party. They think about the place (it is usually somebody’s home or a club), scenario of the party and contribute to its cost. They are, generally speaking, engaged in the perfect preparation and duration of the party!

It’s also up to them whether to tell the bride about the bachelorette party or keep it in secret. In any case, there should be some intrigue and excitement for all the guests and especially the bride to have much fun!

The main purpose of a bachelorette party is to relax and spend time with the good friends. Some alcohol drinks are sure to be part and parcel of this celebration. Organizers of the party should think how their guests will get home: whether they go by taxi or someone you trust sees them home. Your bachelorette party doesn’t need any negative consequences, does it? J

Hardly a single bachelorette party can be a success without a stripper! Sometimes there may be even several strippers not only for the bride, but also for her close friends! Bachelorette pasty is a symbolic parting with free life and other men. But it doesn’t mean that all the brides should attack this stripper as their last man but for their husband! Some brides do not like when these men touch them or bother them with some ambiguous suggestions. For them it will be enough to watch and enjoy! The friends are sure to know their bride better, so a stripper should be informed how to behave and how not to behave!

Besides, the bride usually gets some presents at the party. And as a rule these presents are somewhat sexy or even naughty. But here again you should take into consideration the personality of the bride, her taste, the broom’s opinion. In the long run these presents are for him and for their first night! If the couple is rather conservative, give preference to some candles, massage oil and other knick-knacks to add more romance to their first night. If you know your friend as a person who is not afraid of experimenting and is rather liberated, you can be more creative with the sexual presents including some sex-toys they both are sure to appreciate!

Regard each point you are planning for the bachelorette party, do everything thoroughly and enjoy the results of your work! If everything’s done in a good way, not only the bride, but also all the other guests will get million of positive emotions and unforgettable memories!

Adult party ideas: Make your casino night a “hit”!

It’s an open secret, that casino night parties are very popular among adults. There is a rich variety of possible casino night parties organization and it’s up to your creativity and quick wit, whether it will be a success. If you are going to invite many guests and spend a large sum of money, you don’t need to bother about organization of the party – you can simply hire the company, which will do all the work for you.

If you are planning your casino party within budget, this article will provide you with some tips of advice, which can help you in this matter.
First of all, choose a place for the party. Consider the number of guests and the theme – see to it, that there’s enough place and space for everybody! A home bar area, a den or simply a family room will do all right. If you invite a certain number of guests, mind, that some may not come or will have to go earlier, that’s why invite more people. You’ll get more fun and no one will get offended!

Secondly, think of the invitations. Shops suggest all kinds of invitations for any occasion; you may choose some of them and add some personal touch to them, for instance, put a card or a poker chip inside – the theme of your party is clear and individuality is not forgotten!

Encourage your guests coming in corresponding costumes! Imagine: all men are wearing suits or even better – tuxedos and women are dresses like representatives of ruling elite or something of the kind. Or another variant: some men are wheeler-dealers with their women and others – respectful gentlemen in the money. Your party becomes a kind of a fancy ball and all your guests enjoy it immensely!

Think of a couple of your experienced friends who can be dealers or somebody else depending on your theme. All your guests should get an equal amount of play money to play and get much pleasure. It is desirable that the most “successful” player should get a present in the end!

Plan how you’ll serve food. It’s better to have buffet or organize a kind of a bar, having invited a professional barman! Besides, do not forget about musical accompaniment. Choose some corresponding tune as a sound track of your party and some other nice songs, which correspond to the theme and occasion!

These seem to be the most important tips of advice. As you see, organizing such a party demands good preparation, but if you have a strong desire and a couple of assistants, everything can be done quickly, properly, with enthusiasm and make your casino night a real event!

Personal approach to your child’s party

We have already discussed how to entertain children during the party and this is very important. At the same time, there should be some other mechanisms and your own personal tricks which will make the children’s party unforgettable and the guest of honor grateful to you for this extraordinary party!

Start with the invitations and see to it that they should reflect party theme! It is even better to create invitations on your own, involving your child in this mysterious action. In such a way they’ll be more personal, reflect your mood and will sat your guests to the positive expectations! Taking into account, that this time our guests are children, decorate your invitations and add them some unusual design.

Choose a tune or soundtrack, which will correspond to the theme of your party. It is not difficult to find anything connected with beautiful girls, football or basketball etc. But this soundtrack will add your child’s party more grandeur and your guests more impressions and memories for the future! Don’t forget to give each your guest-child a copy of it – what if they want to remember this great holidayJ?

Another nice project – making pictures with the guests. You may do it in such a way: each guest should pose with the guest of the honor at the beginning of the party. And while your guests are entertaining themselves, you can print the pictures and put them in a frame! The frames may (it is even desirable) correspond to the party theme. When going home each of your guests will take his/her picture!

It is nice when you have some decorations connected with the theme – it will make your guests feel more at ease and enjoy themselves in full!

Don’t forget to say Thank You, but do it in your own personal way. Again it may be a note with the words of gratitude for having come to the party and presented the guest of honor with such a lovely thing!!! (It is essential to mention that you really like the present!)

Party ideas for kids

If you are organizing a party for children, it is desirable, that you should think of a couple of games to entertain your little guests. In this case they won’t have time to set your house on fire or break your favorite vase. On the other hand, suggesting the children interesting activity, you can also entertain yourself. Here are some games, which may be of good avail for organizing a party for children.

Truth or Do Balloon Stomp: this is a traditional and well-known game with an unusual twist. Prepare a bundle of balloons with Do or Truth questions or commands. If a kid gets a Do command, he/she has to do some activity, for instance, sing a song, dance as a crazy monkey or show an angry camel. While preparing cards with the tasks, take into consideration the age of children. Truth command presupposes a sincere answer to some question, like telling the most embarrassing moment. Choose the questions thoroughly in order not to make children flush!

It’s a matter of common knowledge, that all kids adore acting like detectives or spies. Give hem such an opportunity! Before the party think of some treasure and the place where you can hide it. Print some clues, which will help the children in their search. The first such clue should be read or told to the children, all the rest they are going to find by themselves. They are sure to enjoy this game and may have a rest for a while, unless they search for the treasure in your room, of course.

Charades: a well-known old game that will never lose its popularity. What you have to do is to get ready with some charades to act out and think how the game itself will take place. If you are entertaining younger kids, choose some easy words, they are sure to understand, to show and to guess. If the children are older, you may go ahead with more difficult tasks, add different categories (Movie Titles, Sayings, Poems, Songs etc.) from which the children will choose the task and complete it. They may be also divided into several groups; this division will add some competitiveness to the game.

Pass It On: arrange the children in a circle and let one of the kids begin the game, saying “My name is Mary, and I like ice cream”. The kid, who stands next to Mary, continues, “Mary likes ice cream. And my name is Jim, and I like pizza very much!” and the game continues in such a way. This game is a very nice solution to make children get acquainted with each other and develop their memory and speech skills. It can easily be played over and over again by changing the fact to be shared, such as favorite candy, cartoons, books, animals, games, etc. Don’t forget to reward the winner!

As you see, it’s possible to organize the party for the children not only remarkable for them, but also with some educational motives. Such games will encourage teamwork, develop feelings of friendship and partnership and will simply make the party outstanding and unforgettable!
