Tips on choosing the best theme for your party

Choosing the best theme for your party can be a lot of fun, especially if you love coming up with new ideas. Suppose this is for your 24th birthday and you want to hold a costume party. Costume parties can be so much fun because you can look around the room and admire everyone in their costumes. You will see a lot of different costumes in the room and this is what makes the party so special. Another theme you may want to consider is an African or Hawaiian theme. With an African theme, you can add a few animal statues on the table or even zebra table mats. If you really wanted to make the party look spectacular, add a different animal print mat for each table. As for the Hawaiian theme, you can decorate the table with food items such as glasses for margaritas. Add a little umbrella in the glass. At the base of it, you can glue pink Hawaiian flowers around.

You see, there are tons of theme ideas that you can use for your party. It's all about creativity and coming up with new ideas based on something you saw. Here are some tips on how to choose the best theme for your party.

#1 - Choose a theme that incorporates a lot of color
Autumn themes are great for color but if you are working with a theme that seems "dark" such as Star Wars, there is a way to work around this. Have a "glow in the dark" party with the glow Saber Sword. Everyone will love this idea because it's so original and besides - who doesn't like Star Wars?

#2 - Stay away from offensive or gore themes
If you are having a zombie dress up party, not too many women will want to come let alone bring their kids. This is theme that will have too much blood and gore. Don't be surprised if not many people show up.

#3 - When selecting a theme, make sure you add a lot of decor

Having decor at the party can really make it come a live. You could choose to decorate the place with flowers, balloons, a chocolate fountain, pictures, and so on.

Outsourcing your Party Needs

The reason why a few parties lack life is not because the host did not try hard enough. A party falls flat because the host tries too hard. When a party is being organized, the host needs to decide exactly what responsibilities he is capable of carrying out comfortably. Anything that he’s not capable of should be outsourced. This can save the host a lot of time and money. It makes sense if he outsources the entire organization of the party to somebody competent. But even if a host is not prepared to delegate all of the organizational responsibilities, he needs to outsource at least some of them so that he can enjoy the party with his guests. If he fails to understand what needs to be outsourced and what doesn’t, he will simply have a failure of a party on his hands. Additionally he will also have wasted a lot of money.


There are three components to any party, not counting the hosts and guests. The first component is the venue. For a reasonable amount of crowd most homes are capable of hosting a lot more guests than one can imagine. The second component of a party is seeking arrangements and furniture. Even if your home can old a lot of guests the guests need to be comfortable. They need to have easy access to chairs when they feel the need to sit down. For this a host can rent furniture. If his houses not large enough it can rent a different venue. The venues sometimes also give you free furniture along with the space. The last component to a party is the food. If the host is not capable of cooking all the food himself, he should think about hiring a caterer. This can go a long way in reducing your pains in hosting a party.

How To Rent a Chicago Photo Booth

Chicago Photo Booth
If you are looking to rent a Chicago photo booth for your special event, there are a few things you need to consider. For example, what type of photo booth do you want? A standard booth will usually be large enough to walk into and have a curtain which is great for privacy. Actually, that curtain is used to keep outside light out. After all, a photo booth is all about inside lighting. Also, there are some advanced photo booths that will have backdrops that you can use. Others will add backdrops via the screen. This means that you can choose a backdrop based on the menu they have inside. A person or couple will take a picture together, in front of a white background. This white space can be replaced by another background using the screen photo options. Just think of it this way - everything is done digitally. If you are having some trouble finding a photo booth, here are some options for you below:

Step 1: Do a search online

With technology today, almost everything can be found online. You’ll find photo booths with detailed pictures of the inside of the booth and also of the exterior. This can really be helpful in your search.

Step 2: Write down the contact information

For every booth that you see which you’re interested in, be sure to write down the contact information. The renter’s name should be included, where the booth is located, and so on.

Step 3: See if delivery is offered

Photo booths are very heavy and if you don’t have a large truck, you are out of luck. Some companies can deliver a photo booth to your special event so be sure to inquire about this type of service.

Step 4: Schedule a date

While most companies will have a few different photo booths, you still need to make sure they will be available. If you are having the party on January 1st - make sure that the photo booth will be available for that day.
