All about theme parties

A theme party is a great opportunity to celebrate the New Year, birthday or even a wedding in an original way. Despite the fact that it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare it, the delight of the arriving guests usually pays for all the difficulties.

Theme parties are festive events, all of which correspond to the same theme. To create the right atmosphere, decorations are necessarily thought out, which are purchased in specialized stores or created by hand. Due regard is paid to crockery, dishes and table decoration, as well as costumes and accessories. Popular contests and games are being redesigned to fit the chosen theme.

Organization of a theme party starts with drawing up a list of guests, choosing a convenient date and time, and calculating a budget. Further, it is decided where the holiday will take place: whether it can be done at home or is it better to organize an event outside the city or in a restaurant. At the next stage, the topic of the event is selected. Best of all, if she is close to all invited.

Next, it is worth doing the decoration of the premises and the preparation of paraphernalia for photo shoots, contests, assignments and entertainment activities. By the way, at the same stage it is necessary to work out the scenario: holding a party will turn out to be simple and enjoyable if the owners understand what should be followed. Finally, hosts should consider how to dress for the party.An excellent solution would be to make a selection with jewelry and costumes and send it to everyone invited.

A guitar and large fans are placed in the most prominent place. A table covered with a red tablecloth should be decorated with paper flowers, candles and lanterns. For an aperitif, guests can enjoy sangria and a light snack called tapas: fried prawns, small kebabs, tiny sandwiches or deep-fried potatoes.

A casino-themed party can be conveniently combined with a 1920s-themed event, inspired by The Great Gatsby.

Snacks such as shrimp cocktails, crab cakes and sandwiches are good for the buffet table, while fried chicken can be the main course.

An invitation to a Mexican party should be done correctly in the form of a cactus, a guitar or a man in a sombrero.
