5 Fun Party Games!
Hosting parties can be so much fun but it is always a struggle trying to find the right activities to entertain your guests. Here are five fun party games that will definitely keep your guests laughing!
1. The Shaving Game
For this game guests divide into teams or couples. One partner holds a blown up balloon in their mouth while the other partner covers it with shaving cream. The object of the game is for the player not holding the balloon to shave off all of the shaving cream without popping the balloon. The first clean balloon wins and if the balloon gets popped the couple is out. Be careful because this game is messy but it’s definitely a crowd pleaser!

What to Serve at Your Engagement Party
Next, you should decide what kind of food and beverages to offer. If you're having a party for under 20 guests, consider providing finger foods or small appetizers. If you're having a larger guest list, you may want to offer full-sized meals and dessert options. Talk with your caterer about different options that can be served.
Make sure to consider beverage options as well. Do you want to serve alcohol? This may be determined by whether you have kids at your engagement party. It's really up to you.

Graduation Party Time Hawaiian Style
Theme- Having a themed party always makes the atmosphere a lot more fun. A very popular theme used for many parties is a Hawaiian theme! Hawaiian colors are bright and tend to make people think of either the beach or a Hawaiian shirt. It's your decision whether you want the party indoors or outdoors. Personally, I d prefer an outdoors party. Having a party outdoors gives you a lot more space. Meaning more room to PARTY!
Decorations- Decorating is one of the best parts when it comes to planning and throwing a party. The decorations are one of the first things your guests will notice. Think about making them really stand out! Try using different outstanding bright colors (neon orange, baby blue, lime green, etc.). One idea that is easy and fun to set-up up would be some colorful beach chairs and even a few lit-up tiki torches. Another decorative idea would be to go to your local party store and shop for a few party supplies. You could include Hawaiian-colored plates, cups, napkins, etc.
Food- Yummy, here comes the best part! An easy cooking idea that everyone is sure to enjoy would be to have a grill-out. Grilling out some buttered shrimp, Hawaiian flank stake, or Hawaiian grilled chicken and having a fresh Hawaiian salad as a side dish would be a delicious idea. To drink making a homemade Hawaiian fruit punch would be very fruity and delicious. A tasty suggestion for dessert would be to have a large platter of mixed mouthwatering fruits like strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, etc. After all, the pineapple is one of the most common fruits found on the island. But if you really want to sweeten things up a bit, a coconut cake would definitely be the icing on the cake for your overall meal.Music- Since this is a graduation party, you're more likely to have many people there with different tastes in music. What better way to please everyone than to get a DJ to entertain the party. A DJ is definitely a great choice, since they usually have a wide variety of music choices to play. This way everyone gets to dance out to their favorite music thought the party. The fun will never stop.
This graduation party is to celebrate for a couple of reasons. One, to throw them a party and congratulate them for getting this far. And two, to celebrate for this chapter they have completed in their life, and the start of a new chapter that's about to begin. Not only will they appreciate the party you threw for them, but this is sure to be a memory they will never forget!
How Do I Throw A Celtic Tea Party?
Ask The Celebration Advisor: my sis is going to turn 20 today and i wanted to have a celtic tea party but i cant find anything online i searched and searched but nothing if anybody has any ideas please rasap!!!! ~~Olivia
The Celebration Advisor: Hey Olivia!
Actually I do have some helpful information for you! Celtic tea parties center around very traditional Irish themes. The fun lies in putting your own twist on the party though. To get you started, here are some suggestions for party food and how to make your Celtic tea party a hit! Being of Irish ancestry, I'm very happy to see someone taking the ide aof a Celtic tea party and running with it. How cool!
- Alright, for party food I suggest Irish foods like Irish potato cookies, Benedictine tea sandwiches, Irish soda bread scones and similar foods. You can find these and other cool Irish recipes with a quick Google search.
- If you want a sedate party with an Irish theme, pick up a cd of soft Irish music to play in the background. You can get these at many different music stores. I have three! If you want something a little more lively, choose more upbeat Irish tunes. You could even browse local musicians and see if anyone plays a lute, a lyre, or knows any traditional Irish music.
- It may be a little too close to tea time to read, but there are a few books available about traditional Celtic tea parties of many kinds. Lively, toned down, noonday, traditional–all wrapped around Celtic traditions. "Celtic Tea with Friends" by Elizabeth Knight (Amazon carries it) even has recipes you could follow!
Best of luck and please let me know how it turns out! I look forward to seeing pictures as well! Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. (May the road rise with you, part of a traditional Irish blessing).

The Attraction Of Photo Booths At Weddings and Parties
Photo Booths Way Back When
Since 1925, when Anatol Josephino invented the photo booth, kids and adults have been creating photo memories and having fun. In the early days, photo booths could be found on the boardwalk, in departments stores and amusement parks across the nation. It seems no one could resist the urge to mug for a picture when they happened upon a photo booth. In fact, you probably have a few of these photo booth pictures tuck away in a drawer somewhere right now.
Contemporary Photo Booths Make The Guest List
Why would a photo booth receive an invitation to a wedding, a prom, a birthday party, a family reunion, a Bar/Bat Mitzvahs or an asundry of other special events. Laugh-out-loud, unforgettable fun, that's what photo booths bring to the party. Renting a photo booth can inspire fun and create memories at any special event even a quinceanera, anniversary party, holiday party or a fun-raiser.Photographers capture a party guest in a moment of time. However, photo booths will capture your guests in the moment. Photo booths are entertainment and posterity all rolled into one wonderful party accessory. A photo booth naturally brings out the adventure in every guest. These candid pictures are a great way to remember the fun you had at an event.
It not just the photo booth that makes it fun, it is all the props that come with a photo booth rental. Neat hats, masks, boas and other props that guests can wear when they step inside of the photo booth are just a few of the great props that come with renting a photo booth. Along with the props, many rental companies offer a scrapbook package. The photo booth scrapbook package adds an extra element of fun. Guests can have their picture taken and then add it to the scrapbook along with a personal message. This makes for a wonderful piece of memorabilia after the event is over.Photo Booths A Rising Trend
I can see why this new party and wedding trend is quickly rising to the top. It is an easy way to entertain guests as well as create and save memories. It appeals to the young and old alike. It fits well into the scheme of a wedding reception, a graduation party, a charity gala or a sweet sixteen party. As a party or wedding trend, photo booths have real staying power. After all, they have been around since 1925 and people are still drawn to them.
A special thanks goes to Say Cheese Photo Booth, an Austin Texas Photo Booth Company, who was kind enough to share some of their photos. I think they speak for all photo booth rental companies when they say "our mission is to inspire laugh-out-loud-unforgettably-fun memories everywhere we go." That's the attraction of photo booths and why you should have one at your next event.
Holiday Party Tips
I would not consider myself a party expert, but I do love to entertain, and have hosted my fair share of holiday parties. In my rookie years of party hosting, I was a mess. I never looked up from the oven or kitchen sink to enjoy the actual party. Now that I have a few under my belt, I have made a standard list of “musts” that I abide by when hosting any kind of party. I will be glad to share these with you; so, you can Continue reading "Holiday Party Tips" »
Creative & Inexpensive Autumn Party Ideas
It seems like every year when Autumn rolls around, I always get in "party throwing mode". All I can think about is family and friends, good food, great weather and all of the vibrant colors of the earth that provide such a perfect setting. This year for my autumn get together, I wanted my theme and party decorations to be as natural as possible. I have really become a supporter of the "go green" movement and I wanted my autumn themed party to represent my position. So, I decided to do a pumpkin themed party.
There are several farmers markets and grocery stores around town that are selling the most unique pumpkins. Yellow, green, white, orange… and some even a rainbow of colors; which make for colorful, inexpensive decorations. For my table centerpiece I picked up a few of these matchless pumpkins and arranged them in the center of the dining room table. I turned a few of them on their side, leaving the larger ones standing upright in the middle, and intertwined some twigs and fall flowers throughout the arrangement, that I picked up at my local florist, to tie it all together. It looked fabulous. For the rest of the setting I picked up some inexpensive, solid-colored place mats that picked up the color of the pumpkins. I also used the pumpkins in other places throughout the house. I put a few up on the mantle, the book shelf, and on the coffee table as well with my year-round decorations to tie it all together.
You can prepare the party food yourself, but I always try to make things as easy as possible and hire a caterer. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or just a small get together for drinks and hors’ deourves, a caterer can make your party planning easier. This year the caterer used worked within my theme. She is prepared a fruit tray with pumpkin dip as an appetizer and a pumpkin cheese cake for desert.
Just a little side note if you are hosting a large party or an outdoor event.
For large parties, not hosted inside the home or hosted in an outdoor setting, these decorations can be applied to tables at that venue. Chairs, tables, and even table cloths can be rented from a party supply rental vendor in your area. I often use a company like this for larger functions. They deliver and pick up the rented items too, so it is hassle free for the host.
Entertainment for autumn parties is really up to the host. I prefer mellow, low key, music played by a small band. This sets the mood for the fall ambiance of relaxation. My guests will be entertained by the beautiful sounds of an acoustic guitar player I have hired.
These are just a few of the autumn party ideas I use. Hope your party is as much fun as mine.
