So the groom isn’t into the standard bachelor party of going to a bar with the guys. But, the groom is all about fishing. Make fishing your theme for your bachelor party.

Pick The Right "Fishing" Location

If you’re lucky enough to live in area where fishing is prevalent, rent a cabin and decorate it to the rafters with all types of fishing theme items. If you can't rent a cabin or a lodge, you can always use your home. Wherever you choose to hold this bachelor party, it can be transformed into a honey-hole.

Lure Them With Party Decorations

Colored bobblers found at any tackle store are the foundation for this bachelor party decor. With a little fishing line you can use the bobblers to make awesome streamers. To create the ultimate fishing atmosphere, beg, borrow and buy any type of fishing theme item you can find and deck the place out completely. Don't forget to buy a few inexpensive tackle boxes to decorate with or use as serving pieces. You can hang lures and lights from fishing nets to create a fantastic back-drop for the party. As a final decoration pick up some fishing theme napkins, maybe ones that have fishing lingo on them for fun.

Food and Drinks: Serving The Catch Of The Day

“Fingerling” foods will make this a record book party. Catfish fillets, fries, hushpuppies and all the "fixins" make an tasty treat for this bachelor party. If the frying pan isn't your thing have a local caterer prepare the meal for you.

Want a more casual bachelor food atmosphere?  Clean out those tackle boxes and fill them with chip and dip. Serve your own version of a jig-n-pigs (fishing lures) sandwich – a little fried bologna, ham, or other cold cuts with a variety of cheeses.  Add in a little beer, wine, soda or mixed drinks and you won't need a lure to get them to the buffet table.  For a fun twist to the evening, everytime someone gets a drink make them sing a song that uses the word "live well" (a fishing term).

A bachelor party should be all about having fun. Theme parties are all about creating fun around a theme. So playing up a theme based on the groom's fishing passion it will net you a great bachelor party.

If you have a tween it's safe to say that you've heard of Twilight. You may even be a fan yourself. I certainly am! Because so many people love the Twilight series, here are a few Twilight party ideas that would be helpful for a birthday party, screening party before the release of the next movie, girl's sleepover and other parties.

Twilight Party Decorations – First, you have to get the party decorations right. Keep in mind that Twilight is the story of a young vampire who falls in love with an ordinary girl. You don't have to go overboard with the vampire party decorations. Just think more "romantic Halloween" party supplies for your Twilight party. Here are a few key party supplies to think about when planning your Twilight party.

• Apple mylar balloons or crescent mylar balloons
• Plates, napkins, cups and other dinnerware with Twilight prints or in golden and black colors
• Chocolate brown tablecloths, latex balloons and other decorations
• Twilight themed flowers

If you don't want to see the faces of Bella and Edward on all of your party supplies, use a color theme instead. Think very earthy and dark like a Halloween theme. Use chocolate browns, topaz and golds (Edward's eye color) and black.

Twilight Punch – It's easy to create your own blend of Twilight punch. Make sure the punch is blood red. You may want to add a small bit of food coloring to achieve this color. If you are worried that the punch will stain, use only a small amount and keep in mind that blood red lips will be an appropriate costume effect for the movie release.

Another tip for the punch is to use sparkling ginger ale instead of regular. This is carbonated, of course, but adheres to the image of the vampires' sparkling skin.

Twilight Music – Music sets the mood for a room so make sure to have the Twilight soundtrack and other somewhat eerie music playing in the background. Throw a bit of humor in the mix and add "Monster Mash" if you like watching the surprise on people's faces as the music suddenly turns silly.

Twilight Party Entertainment – The enchanting theme of the book makes your Twilight party the perfect time for an illusionist (skilled magician). If you'd rather stick to entertaining each other, throw in the first movie.

You can also play a Twilight trivia game similar to a popular bridal shower game. Create mouths with fangs using velvet and a permanent marker or visit your local party store and see what Vampirical tags they have. Ask questions to each player who loses a pair of fangs for each wrong answer. The last person with a fang is the winner. If it comes down to a tie or a tiebreaker, make sure each has a chance to answer at least one question.

Your Twilight party is going to be awesome. Your tween will think you're the coolest parent alive. If you're hosting a Twilight party for yourself, your friends may snicker a bit but the Twilight enthusiasts in the group will know how much you rock. Have fun!

I’m always looking for an excuse to throw a party. For 2009, I decided that the Golden Globe Awards was a great adult party theme to kick off the New Year. I’ve put together some great ideas to make your Golden Globes Party fun and creative without breaking the bank.

First, you can’t have a Golden Globes party without a red carpet. Run down to you’re local store in search for an inexpensive red carpet. If you can’t find one there, you can certainly make your own. A few yards of inexpensive red fabric will do the trick.

Games are always a great idea for any kind of party. Before guests arrive, prepare a list of the Golden Globe nominations on elegant paper in a fancy font. The guests can use this list to select who they think will win each category. Before the awards ceremony starts have everyone turn in their ballot and who ever has the most correct after the show receives their very own golden globe. You can pick up a fake Golden Globe at a local party supplies store or order online. If your budget allows, you could send everyone home with a mini Golden Globe as party favors.

Planning a dinner?

Halloween is one of those fun mystic nights each year when anything can happen.  Sometimes though the safest thing for everyone is to throw or attend a Halloween party. Whether just for adults or bringing along the kids, here are some great ideas for your Halloween party!

Start the night out right with fun music at your Halloween party! Karaoke machines and CDs with Halloween inspired music are guaranteed hits for any spooky shindig. Hiring a disc jockey? Give him or her a list of popular songs like these and other great frighteningly fun Halloween party music!

1. "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett
2. "Love Potion #9" by The Searchers
3. "Witch Doctor" by David Seville
4. "The Addams Family" TV Theme
5. "Zombie Jamboree" by Rockapella
6. "The Munsters" TV Theme
7. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" Movie Theme

Fright up the night with a neat assortment of festive foods. If pumpkins are still available, any type of sweet pumpkin treat is a big hit with all ages (just don't tell the children that it's pumpkin!). Blood-colored punch is a Halloween drink so eerie that everyone will thirst for your exotic blend. Make plenty in case a bunch of Draculas attend the party.

A great way to avoid the hassle of cooking and cleaning is by hiring a caterer for your Halloween party! Let your caterer know what direction you'd like to take with the food and watch the creative ideas come to life faster than a midnight zombie.

Encourage a fun evening with a costume party contest! Will it be Marie Antoinette or Frankentstein to take the big prize this year? Who knows! The fun begins with a Halloween costume contest. Letting the guests vote is the best way to ensure a fair contest while giving participants a reason to go all out. Reward participants with spooky Halloween party favors. Once the guests arrive, sit back and watch the fun as you see just how creative your friends can be!

Get guests participating with fun crowd-pleasing games such as Boo-Bing For Apples, Kreepy Karaoke, the Dirty Dracula version of the Christmas game Dirty Santa, and other fun games adapted in rules (and title) to fit the Halloween theme.

Create the perfect atmosphere with Halloween party decorations such as spiced cider and other candles with scents of autumn, ghoulish plates and napkins, hay and gourds for outdoor parties, bonfire material for outdoor parties, and others. Ask friends for tips from previous Halloween parties that really stuck out in their minds. Find your own fun version and run with it!

Oh, and have fun!
