Party themes

When you are trying to have a fun and playful party, I think the best way to go at it is to start with a theme. A lot of people think that themes can only be done in terms of a child's birthday party, but a theme can be used no matter the occasion. 

One fun idea, that can be used for just a few more days is to host an Olympics birthday party. This is a child's party - but there are so many examples in this of ideas of how to pull of a party even if you are a kid at heart.

My husband and I this past year hosted a Vikings vs. Packers party at our place on a Monday night. We went and bought purple and gold decorations and decked out our place. You will see one of the pictures in my blog title. We both love hosting and planning parties as we like to be creative with food, our decorations, etc.

When coming up with a theme for a party, the first thing to ask yourself is - what would the people that are attending enjoy the most? Would they identify more with food or decoration? How can I run the theme of the party through all of the details I am planning?

Once you figure this out, then it is time to start being creative. Look up blogs and websites, as people for ideas. I have found wonderful ideas on other blogs and just from looking at different websites. This is key in creative party plans. So make your next party a themed party...I think we will be doing a Twins party this spring, especially with Target field opening up!
