Party Ideas: What Sort of Party Will You Host?


Party ideas are many, but we tie ourselves to believing that there is no alternative that will make the event better. The preparations that you are going to make for a party are dependent on the sort of party you are to throw. So, you can't prepare for a party if you don't know the type of party you would like to throw. But it is difficult to identify the kind of party you would like. Continue reading for some points which will guide you through when deciding the sort of party you wish to host:

1. Is the party intended for one individual such as a graduation, welcome home party, birthday or wedding? If that is the case, the honoured guest's wishes should be considered. The factors that you're going to need consider are; his/her availability, the guests they'd like to invite and their tastes. If you intend the party to be a surprise party, do not consult the honored guests on what they will want for the party. Instead, you should consult the friends or relatives of the honoured guest on what he likes so that the party will be a surprise yet a good one.

2. Hobbyist parties or award parties demand that like-minded folks be involved when making party preparations. Some party ideas might demand the same.

3. Reunions are fun to host but they are hard to plan for. If the guests you expect to attend the party have to travel long distances, you need to plan the party in time. For instance, you'll need to send out invitation letters many days in advance so they can plan the journey and adjust their schedule.

4. Themed parties such as fancy dress or Halloween parties can bring a lot of fun when held. Inform your guests on what's required of them in terms of the dress code.

5. You can make your dinner party different from the rest. You can either select a potluck dinner party that will allow the guests to contribute to the meals, or a formal sit down dinner for eight people. You can also host a backyard barbeque or a pizza while watching a Super Bowl match. If you have decided to try any of these methods, you should know the amount of guests attending the party and then come up with a budget that you are going to stick to. The foods and drinks should be adequate.

The party ideas will work depending on how you handle the party and the kind of party you want to throw. If this is the first party you are hosting, it is good that you make it simple. In the invite list, do not invite many guests to the party. However, if you are used to throwing huge parties, there is no reason to stop now. Just bear in mind you have got to prepare early for it to be a success.

Glow With Us Offes Automatic Color Changing Foam Glow Sticks

The LED foam glow sticks came out a couple of years ago. Glow With Us, offers foam sticks in six flashing modes, with the second mode being automatic color changing, probably the most popular mode of all. Even since it came out, this product has been gradually gaining popularity. And there are a few reasons why. First, the foam glow sticks are BIG and BRIGHT. Sticks are 16" long, 1 3/4" diameter. The commercially available biggest glow sticks is no more than 3/4" in diameter. And at the same time, with three super bright LED light bulbs, they really light up the stick. And the stick is so designed that the whole stick lights up super brightly. When you wave the big & thick stick in the dark, it creates amazing light shows. That's why they are excellent for dancing, night clubs, concerts, etc. Per Glow With Us customers, the automatic color changing mode is the most populat mode.

Secondly, they are pretty safe to use.  Looking at the youtube video on Glow With Us website, one can see the product is made out foam material, they are extremely light as the center of the sticks are hollow. One can use the stick to hit others and yet because they are so light-weighted and soft, they are safe. Unlike glow sticks although non-toxic and non-hazardous, glow sticks still possess the risk of breaking out the chemicals and once broken, the chemical liquids, which is kind of like acid based substance, can easily stain carpet, furniture, etc. And it's pretty difficult to get off.

Thirdly, foam LED lights come with six different flashing modes which are all unique and fun. All six modes are clearly listed on the website page of Glow With Us. The first is an all-around multi-color quick flash. The afore-mentioned three  color light bulbs are red, green and blue, which are the three basic colors and most popular ones. So the first mode would be red, green and blue flashing at same quick speed at the same time. With the three color flashing at the same time, you will see a kind of white flashing color with tint of the three colors. But if you wave the sticks in the air in a dark setting, you will actually be able to separate the colors a bit to be able to see red, green, or blue than if the sticks are not moving. Second mode is probably the automatic color change mode. The three color lights red, green, blue lights up different time. With the time pre-designed, the sticks will lights up all different colors due to combination of the three colors. The third mode is the multi-color steady light, for situations where no flashing, just steady light-up is needed. Fourth to sixth will be automatic flashing of just red, just blue and just green.
