  • Paranormal Movie Night Party
    Posted on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 in Party Activities – Comments: (0)
    Has anyone seen the preview or movie “Paranormal Activity”? It is only being played in about 3,000 theaters in the whole country, and is out grossing all new release movies. It is filmed in the “Blair Witch Project” format. I seen the preview for this movie and it’s totally off the hook! This family is being haunted by a poltergeist or some type of demon. It would be great to see this movie on Halloween night. Could you imagine people dressed up in their scary Halloween costumes and masks, but having the life scared out of them watching this film. If anyone has seen the actual movie, let me hear your feed back about it, since it is not yet being shown where we live.

  • Class Reunion To Class Birthday Party
    Posted on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Themed Party Ideas – Comments: (0)
    We recently celebrated our 30 year class reunion. We decided to have it in an outdoor pavilion, casual dress with a cookout style catered dinner. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was totally laid back and comfortable and the “Back Yard” style dinner instead of being uncomfortable in suits, dresses, and paying for a $50.00 a plate dinner. We usually have our reunion every five years. At this our 30 year reunion class-mates started talking about a 50 year class birthday party. What a blast that would be! Everyone loved the thought of staying with the laid back atmosphere. During our reunion we had already narrowed our birthday theme down to a Luau or a 50′s Sock Hop. We have actually planned for both ideas. As far as party supplies and decorations go. The committee that was quickly formed will soon be taking a class vote.For the Luau themed party some party decoration ideas were: Tiki torches – in ground and table top styles paper lanterns and small decorative string lights faux palm trees Luau party music Luau – Caribbean costumes and leis Tropical design place settings Thinking of having a limbo contestFor the 50′s Sock Hop themed party some party ideas were: Neon food signs 50′s music for the stroll Class mates could show in poodle skirts and leather jacketsRight now the food is undecided, but we were tossing around the idea of baked hams and pineapples with everyone bringing a side dish.
