PARTY
Life getting you down–has it been a
while since you have had some fun? Want to meet some great people and have a
good time?” Well, how about throwing a party that will be so great everyone
will say “Gee, why didn’t I think of this?
To begin exciting parties pick a
theme ……
Planning:
1.
Send out Invitations
Remember to indicate on the
invitation what is the theme and that guests are invited and encouraged wear
attire relating to the theme! As the host, you will want to be decked out in theme
finery. Choose and decorate yourself and
your chosen area with selections emphasizing the theme.
2.
Select a Menu
Decide if you supply the food or
everyone brings a dish in line with the theme. If you supply everything,
organize a locked donation box to cover expenses and/or buy more supplies when
you run out, but make sure everyone is informed of this on the invitation or
you may want to make a cover charge. If
everyone is bringing a dish, try to get an idea what will be arriving a few
days before hand so you can cover the gaps.
3.
Decorations & Atmosphere
The party without music is like New
Orleans without the French Quarter–incomplete! Get ready to boogie to the
sounds of the theme. Play it throughout the party for a great effect. Make it
known where the party’s action is with stronger decorations, this will draw
people to chosen areas. People will know they are at the right place when they
see the theme items hanging at your party destination. By creating the magical
mood of theme you create the atmosphere of the party and definitely set the
mood!
The Party:
1.
Arrival of Guests
Welcome Guests and give each a item
relating to the theme to wear around their neck to get them into the spirit –
it’s kind of like the leis that are placed around your neck when you get to the
Hawaiian Airport! Door prizes are a welcome idea for any party since everyone
loves to get free stuff! These prizes should probably coincide with the theme
that you chose. Create an air of mystery and give each guest a Feather Mask
when they come or send one with the invitation.
2.
Games and Activities
Choose games related to the theme
and use them to create the atmosphere, it is a great way to stop dead time,
moments of silence, and can get the party move going.
3.
Party Wrap-up
Time for party favors, awards, and
prizes, something to help them remember the fun they had. Give your warmest
good-byes! Always leave people wanting more but impressed with what they got.
4.
Clean Up
You’re alone on this one! Assemble
your own crew to help pick up after the festivities!
Enjoy The Party!!
