A Birthday Party for Everyone
When a party is thrown, it’s a massive anticlimax when it’s anything less than extravagant. Yet, some of us sit around saying, “I don’t have the imagination for planning a big party.” Some of us are a little shy so you wouldn’t want to choose a theme that will put someone in the spotlight that doesn’t want to be. For shy individuals, you’ll want to choose something that encompasses the entire guest list, rather than singles them out.
Themes such as cartoon, western, Disney and toy characters are good for either the shy or the outgoing individual. You may also choose a fair or carnival theme. Banners, balloons, party favors, prizes, games and food are always involved and these usually make the party a big success. Pick games such as memory, musical chairs, races or darts and you’ll find that despite the mature exterior, even the hardest adult will giggle as someone gets shoved off a chair.
Bags filled with tiny, useless things are the best part of every individual’s party time. Fill them with kazoos, noise makers, tiaras, wands, makeup, water guns or generally anything that suits your theme.
Don’t fill the guests with steak. Give them a buffet of finger foods and fruit. On the other hand, if your party will last for hours or most of the day, take time to serve guests dinner or lunch. If you put out overstated foods, they’ll be ignored. Throw out some chips and refreshments; you’ve got yourself a hit.
