Latest & Greatest February 2012

-Tip by Greta Madson, (Pic Stories)

What makes a person the life of the party? It’s usually someone with a great sense of humor who says the craziest things and has a flair for off the wall fun. If you think about it, they’re the center of attention because you never know what they’re going to do or say next. Create that life of the party experience by planning something your guests would never expect. Tap into their sense of humor and creativity with entertainment that requires impromptu demands like an unfinished, short scripted skit with their own made up ending. Provide wacky props like boas, signs, blow up microphones and instruments, and easy to grab costumes for unpredictable performances from your guests. Add those props to the stage for karaoke, charades, word games, or mystery games that require team effort. Think like the life of the party for your next event and you’ll hear them rave about it long after the fun is over!
 

How Sweet It Is!
Tip From Renae Marshall, (Candy Forever)

To stretch your event budget, look for less expensive alternatives to costly floral arrangements, decorations and guest gifts. A candy buffet is a unique, budget friendly idea that appeals to all age groups. With coordinated colors, lovely containers and personalized bags, it’s a sweet way to cut costs.

Surprise Love-Attack!
-Tip from Mindy Ragan Wood

It’s true that unexpected, thoughtful gestures mean more than any amount of money you could spend. If possible, get access to your date’s office, home, or car and decorate it! A huge red ribbon wrapped around the car, a desk full of rose petals, or a living room in romantic red and pink decor is a great way to deliver a surprise! Leave chocolates, a note trail or photos of all the little things you love about them. Is it the way she wears her hair? Is the way he always cooks you Sunday breakfast? Tell them all the little ways you love them and surprise them this year for a romantic Valentine’s Day.
