Have Fun Creating Exciting Unique Theme Parties

Award Winning Entertainer, Kathy Bee, Shares Her 8 Easy Steps On How To Create Theme Parties

Would you like to host a great memorable party that everyone talks about for years to come?  Do you think you can come up with a party theme that’s unique and new for your group?

Put on your creative thinking cap. Below are 8 basic steps to help you create a unique theme party.

1. Invite Creative Friends To Your Think Tank Theme Session
Take out your personal address book or BlackBerry and list the names of your close friends who work easily work together, who like going to parties and who can be creative(Right Brainers).

Get your group together and brain storm. Make a list from 1- 10 and ask the members of your group to give you ideas about the “best” theme parties that they had ever attended. Don’t be shy about suggestions…and don’t make fun of any new ideas. Choose one theme from your list.

2. Take It Outside
Great ideas can fall into place from anywhere. Thinking out of the box really helps get the creative juices flowing. Invite your group of creative types to join you under a tree for an outdoor think tank experience.

3. Go On Line
Go to a search engine like google.com and type in theme parties. Make a list of the results that fit your style or that of your potential party guests. For more ideas go to www.redhatfun.com

4. Visit A Costume Store
Check out the various costumes and come up with possible ideas for a theme party.

5. Think Musicals…TV Shows…Movies
Create a theme party around a popular musical…TV show or movie and its characters.

6. Time & Space
Period theme parties can be big hits if you pick out a unique time period, not the standard 50’s, 20’s, 60’s etc…How about a Caveman Carnival Theme…

7. How About The Non-Wedding Party
Send out Non-Wedding Invitations and have a great time having all the frills and décor of a wedding that’s not.

8. Keep The Ideas Coming
Remember to keep all ideas securely in a safe place for future use…You’ll never know when you might be needed to think up the next party for one of your friends.

The most important thing to remember is…HAVE FUN!

Work Christmas Parties 2008

When you are planning Christmas work parties, you want to plan so you will be able to fulfil the needs and even the desires of all those who will be in attendance. It can be difficult to plan work parties if there will be a lot of people invited, and even more difficult if you are planning from a distance. When you use a specialist service to help you, you will suddenly find that all your options are wide open; your stress level falls through the floor, and you can put together an event that will knock everyone's socks off!

When you work with an event and travel planning specialist, you will find that they know all the right questions to ask, so you don't have to ask them and answer them on your own. When you meet with the right specialist, you will find that planning work Christmas parties is simply a lot of fun and actually a joy to plan.

Working with the right specialist is ideal, because when you work with someone who has experience with work Christmas parties, you can plan systematically, which will ensure that you don't overlook any detail. You'll start with the venue, which will differ for each party depending on the number of guests that you will be inviting, and of course, the theme or the attire that will be worn. For instance, a cosy, quaint hall may be perfect for the work Christmas parties that will be very informal, but the larger, grand ballroom may be more suitable for other work parties. Working with a specialist will allow you to view all available options before you make a decision, because they will know where to find them and be able to show them to you based on what you need.

In addition to finding the right venues for work Christmas parties, a specialist will also be able to help you arrange transportation for all those that are travelling to the party. If you need to make arrangements for cars, trains, buses, or for airfare, the travel specialist will be able to put you in contact with the right people. On that same note, you will also be able to arrange for all the guests that are coming to the Christmas party to stay in the nicest accommodations at the most reasonable price. These are all important issues that are often overlooked when there are a number of employees that are travelling to the Christmas party, but they are nice plans to make since the idea is to get everyone together to have a good time.

When planning work Christmas parties, it is often a great idea to book hotel rooms for all your guests. This will allow your guests to relax and enjoy themselves at the party without having to worry about driving home. When you are dealing with an event planning and travel specialist, you will have all the help you need for booking the rooms. Often, you'll find that the travel specialist can get better rates than you would, if you were booking them yourself.

Another thing that your specialist will be able to help you with when you are planning your Christmas work parties is hiring cars. If you cannot book rooms right at the venue where you will be having the Christmas party, you may want to hire cars to ensure that everyone can get to and from the party as safely as possible. Your event coordinator will be able to help you with all your car hire needs and will make the planning and coordinating process so much easier than it would have been if you were doing it on your own.

Event and travel specialists will not only be able to help you with the venue and the lodging that you need, they may also be able to help you set up the catering and entertainment that you will need for the event. If nothing else, the specialist will be able to recommend some entertainment and dining options that you can contact and choose from on your own.

The idea of working with a travel and event specialist is one that they can make your life so much easier than it would be if you were trying to handle all of the details for work Christmas parties on your own. When you are planning an event for a large number of people, it is easy to overlook little details that will make a huge difference for those that attend the party. If you want to plan a Christmas party that will be really enjoyable for those that will be in attendance in the UK, you will want to use a specialist that can help you with the venue and all the arrangements that come along with it.

Organising Your Corporate Christmas Party

Organising your corporate Christmas party can be quite a task. You may well need a large venue, catering, and more in order to make this year's Christmas party one to remember. If your staff is quite busy, this may be just one task too many. Fortunately, you can avail yourself of the services available from professional Christmas party organizers.

There are a variety of choices when you are considering hiring Christmas party organizers. Depending upon your needs, a venue booking service may be ideal, especially since many venues can handle food, drinks and decorations. Some venue booking services are even free to the user, making them an ideal choice to save your staff time in planning the holiday Christmas party. You can simply provide these Christmas party organisers with your needs and they will create a list of possible venues and the amenities available at each for you and assist you with booking the venue for the date you desire.

You may wish to narrow down your needs before consulting with Christmas party organisers. Where would you prefer to hold your corporate Christmas party? Know how many people will be attending the Christmas party, as well as the type of venue you would prefer. Are you planning a formal event or a more casual family-friendly one? Do you need a sit down meal or a buffet style meal, or even just appetizers? Will you be serving drinks? Once you have answered these questions, you will be much better prepared to speak with Christmas party organisers.

Venue booking services that include Christmas party organisers are well versed in helping companies of all sizes plan their holiday parties. They can help you find Christmas party venues in London or elsewhere that meet both your budget and your needs. Not only can skilled Christmas party organisers help you choose a Christmas party venue, but they can also help make travel arrangements or arrange lodging if appropriate. Given that Christmas party venue booking services can even be free of charge to you, you can save your staff valuable time and energy by using Christmas party organisers.

While venue booking services are often free, some companies choose to hire professional Christmas party organisers to design their corporate Christmas party. Unlike venue booking services, this can be quite costly. Moreover, you may find that some Christmas party venues offer these sorts of services in-house for a much lower cost. High end specialist Christmas party organisers may seem like an especially good idea if you are considering a themed Christmas party; however, do consider speaking with Christmas party venues as to their capabilities. You may be surprised at the services that they are able to provide on their own for a reasonable fee. Your venue booking service may well be able to help you select Christmas party venues perfect for whatever sort of work Christmas party you might be considering, including themed Christmas party plans.

What are the best Christmas party venues? The right Christmas party venues for your work Christmas party may depend upon the size of the party, the plans for the party and more. Many companies choose Christmas party hotels for their work Christmas parties. If the guests reserve rooms at the hotel, there is no need to arrange transport home after the party if anyone has been drinking and many hotels are very well equipped with regard to space and catering. If you are planning quite a large corporate event as your work Christmas party, a venue booking service can even assist with travel arrangements for staff or clients travelling a substantial distance. Hotels are also ideal Christmas party venues in London for this sort of corporate event.

Can you plan your own work Christmas parties? Certainly, however, you will find that choosing the right Christmas party venues takes a substantial amount of time, time that could be spent on work tasks. Moreover, someone will also have to coordinate food and drinks, d?r and more with the venue. If it is a major corporate event, travel arrangements may have to be made. You can save valuable time with a venue booking service or specialist in corporate travel to assist you in choosing the right Christmas party venues.

Whether your corporate Christmas party is to be a rather small, intimate dinner or a large corporate event, choosing the right Christmas party venues is critical. Often the venue you choose will impact the quality of not only the physical space, but also the food and drink at your work Christmas parties. Be sure your Christmas party is one to remember and not one to regret by using those smart habits that have gotten you where you are today and delegating the choice of Christmas party venues to an expert venue booking service skilled in handling all sorts of corporate events and corporate travel arrangements.

Birthday Party Supplies for Fairy Party Theme

Fairytale Princess Birthday
Best for girls ages 3 -8 yrs old will fall for the fun of these enchanting fairies.

Party Planning
For peace of mind, begin planning your fairy birthday two months in advance. This will allow you time to gather all the supplies that you need, including fairy party decorations, activities, gifts, and menu items. Planning ahead also gives your guests time to RSVP and make travel plans, if needed. Don't panic if you find yourself short on time; you can still plan a great party! Planning ahead simply reduces the risk of conflicts with guests' plans and may increase your party's attendance

Invitations
Well, in reality, invites give the guests a sample of what they're in for; and in this case, it's a Fairytale good time, so the invitation have got to be pretty.No problem there! Your wishes are granted with these nice diecut folded invites with nice lavendar envelopes. Add a special touch by decorating them with stickers, ribbon & even glitter.

What You'll Need
If you plan to use paper tableware and fairy party supplies our Suggested Party Supply List may be quite helpful. Please note that you may not need everything on the list; it is intended only as a guide.

For this party, think white, pink, and lavender as your main color scheme. Simple white balloons and pretty pastel streamers work perfectly. For goodie bags, purchase fairy party favors such as pretend makeup, magic fairy wands, fairy stickers, glitter nail polish, fake pearls, and candies. Place all of these items inside clear or printed cellophane bags, and tie the bags closed with pretty, pastel-colored ribbons. Dont Forget to provide all the children with party hats, crowns, or headbands. Kids love blowouts, so stock up!!

Add some nice fairytale decorations to your party space. These decorations are very popular for a birthday party: table honeycomb decorations, Marabou garland, fancy hanging cutouts, and also Happy Birthday Party Fringe that is ideal for doorways and walls

Fun Fairy Birthday Ideas
Form a canopy over the party table using pink and lavender streamers. The streamers should cascade from a bow in the middle (attached to the chandelier or the ceiling) out to the sides of the room. Then, sprinkle glitter on the table, forming a line of fairy tracks that lead up to the fairy birthday cake.You can also sprinkle the cake with edible glitter and top it with a fairy figure, a fairy candle,or any other fairy birthday favors to complete the effect.

Tie clusters of shimmery pink, lavender, white, and/or silver balloons to the backs of chairs, near the tea table, or in other spots throughout the party area. Weight some of the balloons with star-shaped or princess crown balloon weights. You can also make your own weights by cutting star shapes out of cardboard, spray painting them white, and rolling them in glitter while the paint is still wet.

Fill the party area with huge tissue paper flowers made using our Tissue Flowers activity instructions. Then, lay a cardboard drawbridge at the door for the children to walk over as they enter the party area. You can also cut large tree, toadstool, and castle shapes out of cardboard, paint them, and then hang them on the walls of the party area. Or, for ease, purchase fairy party decorations online.

Create fun party photos with one of the Photo Opportunity Banners (cord included for easy hanging!)

How To Plan a Girl Birthday Party?

If your daughter is due a birthday soon, have you thought about her party? Throwing the perfect Girl Birthday Party can be somewhat overwhelming, after all, you want your little angel to have a memorable day. But what if you have no sense of where to begin. Birthday party planning need not be a nightmare or a stressful period. Do not forget that the birthday party planning can be part of the excitement and fun. Parents are notoriously competitive and none more so when it comes to throwing a birthday party for their kids. Let us not forget however, that this is all about someone else and not you. If you are working on a tight budget, as many of us are, then do not worry as the perfect Girl Birthday Party need not break the bank. With some imagination and a little bit of arts and craft you can produce a fabulous party for very little money that your little birthday girl will love.

The simpliest way to organise a girl birthday party is to have a themed party. The benefit of a theme is that you can simply apply the theme to each step of the birthday party planning. Theme the invitations, venue, party food, games and right through to the party bags and not forgetting the thankyou cards.

Choosing A Theme

There lot are lots of themes one can choose, including some "out of the box" and branded themes you can get at the supermarket and party shop. I find that the best approach is to think about what toys, hobbies or music the girl in question is into. Does she like Princesses (which little girl does not), Pampering, makeup, High School Musical, American Idol, Ice Skating, Fairies and so on? The list can be endless. Whatever the theme, the principle process is the same, and you apply the theme to each stage.

Birthday Party Planning

Let us look at one of the most popular themes for a girls birthday party, the Princess Party. As we know, most little girls love to be pampered and play the part of a princess (however hard we may try to break these stereotypes!). Simply apply the theme to the party planning process stage by stage.

Stage 1 - The Invitations

You can either make the invites yourself or have them made for you. I think making them, and getting the birthday girl involved helps build excitement for the event. Since it is a Princess theme, why not make it a Royal invite to a Princess Ball. Imagine it is the sort of invite a princess in a fairytale might receive. Use appropriate fairy tale language, for example

"You are cordially invited to the Royal Birthday Party of Princess {name}, The Theme will be Princesses, so all Princesses and Princes welcome, please come in your best Princess, Knight or Princes outfit (if including boys)."

Make the invite feel royal, maybe adding pictures of fairytale princesses (most of these will probably be Disney!) and add sparkles. Maybe placing the invite in an envelope and adding glitter. Or how about a royal scroll, tided with a ribbon. Let your imagination run wild, and look at fairytale books or Disney films for ideas.

Stage 2 - Theme the venue

Whether you are having the party in your home, or at a hired venue, you should dress the venue accordingly. Use Princess colours (pink, lavender) and maybe make little thrones by sticking cardboard throne shapes, painted gold, to the chairs. Cut out turret shapes from cardboard and paint and add to the walls or front door, to give a castle like feel. Cover the tables in pretty pink table clothes and sprinkle with candies and sparkles. Add balloons and ribbons, thus creating a really special royal feel.

Stage 3 - Food

A Princess Party deservues Royal food. So how about Princess Pizza, or cut out Tiara cookie shapes. Have a birthday cake made on the Princess theme. You can buy a lot of these in a castle or shape of a princess, or with a princess picture on it.  Be imaginative, and think how you can apply the chosen theme to every aspect of the food and drink.

Stage 4 - Games

How about a game of Cinderella. Get a high heeled show (preferably from a dressing up box or an old one you do not want), and cover in sparkles or spray silver. Voila! A glass slipper. Now take another old shoe. The game is a bit like pass the parcel, in that the girls all sit around in a circle, and while the music is playing they pass the "glass" slipper around. When the music stops (or yo can ring a bell) then it is "midnight" and the girl holding the glass slipper has to swap it with the old shoe and sit in the middle of the circle". She now has charge of the bell. They all take it in turns passing the glass slipper around. At the end of the game, everyone gets a little "royal" prize. Or just apply the theme to traditional party games like musical statues, or pass-the-parcel. For instance pin the wings on the dragon instead of Tale On The Dragon, Pass the poison apple, an adaptation of pass the shoe.

Stage 5 - Activities

How about some art and craft activities, making royal picture frames, with sparkles and glitter, then take photographs of each little princess guest, so they can add it to their frame, as a souvenir.

Stage 6 - Party Bags

Party Bags or Favour Bags, can be made to feel like a special royal gift. With "princess" items and candy added accordingly. Again, do not just put the little gifts in a normal bag. decorate the bag, or find little boxes, and make them sparkle or feel special by decorating with ribbons and glitter.

The above are just some of the key stages of birthday party planning that provide you an opportunity to theme. Remember, it is not about the expenditure, it is about the imagination, and if you are handy with the old arts and crafts, you can make a girl birthday party something to remember. With my own "little princess" I find I am accompanying her to many birthday parties, and am constantly thinking of themes and ideas. For great ideas check girl birthday party ideas.
