Was the last party you attended a little on the dull side? Some people are satisfied with just "hanging around" during a birthday or Halloween party. Still others require planned activities or an "action-packed" environment to enjoy the total party experience. If you're preparing to throw a 40th birthday bash or a high-school graduation party, you may want to consider a certain theme. In this article, we'll explore the different types of theme parties which are sure to entertain your guests and provide a memorable experience for all. Participation is the reason for any "theme" type party. The kind of theme party is not merely limited to birthdays. You can host a theme party for any number of occasions including graduation, high school or family reunions, office parties, anniversaries, and of course birthdays. Good food, wine and costumes can add to a fun-filled evening. Encouraging your guests to take part actually starts before the party even begins. It all starts with the invitation. These days invitations can take the form of traditional invitations through the mail or can be emailed to your guests. Again, the frame-work for the event begins at this point. This is where the preparation starts and involves your guests in the spirit of the planned event. Let's look into a few ideas for your next party. Perhaps the most popular theme party today is the murder mystery "who dunnit?" party. The murder mystery event takes a lot of up front planning. A well thought-out invitation is the key to holding a murder mystery. However, before the invitations go out, you'll need to decide on the event parameters: will it be formal, will a sit-down dinner be part of the experience, and what level of sophistication will it in entail. The good news is that there are several "murder mystery" kits available to the host. The plots range from simple to complex all depending on the sophistication level of the attendees. The fun part of planning this type of party is that the interest and excitement takes place over a period of weeks. Typically a formal invitation is sent announcing the event and its beginning details. Then, as time continues, more information is sent to the attendees detailing more about the setting and the characters involved. At this point, those taking part are assigned a character and are briefed on their role. A lively party script will have a fun, exciting plot with many twists and turns. It can be a heck-of-alot of fun if planned properly. What would a party be without a scavenger hunt? Scavenger hunts can be extremely intriguing, incredibly funny, and bizarre. Costumes aren't a must but can make the experience even funnier. I've been involved in some of the craziest searches that one can imagine. The looks and expressions that you receive from those indirectly involved are priceless! A camera, hopefully with video capacity is a must. You never know what to expect when you show up at a convenience store and ask the male clerk to wear lip-stick while being photographed with the members of your team. An era party based on a time period is also a lot of fun. The 60's and 70's can provide for some hilarious moments. Costumes for a decade party are a must, so is a disco ball with a DJ. Further, what former fraternity member can say no to a Roman Toga party or an October Fest event? Just remember, the whole idea behind a party is to have fun!...and not just for the party-goers, also the host who has put much effort into its planning. MyReviewsNow Please Visit Our Main Site
