Do you have a Guest of Honor who seems to LIVE in his or her denim blue jeans? Most Americans would put their jeans on a “Can’t Live Without” wardrobe list. Use the ever-so-humble denim blue jeans to inspire your next party – they’re absolutely timeless! You’ll stop your guests in their tracks when they […]
Okay, enough chit-chat! Gather up some old, retired jeans you are willing to cut up (or purchase a couple of pairs at a secondhand clothing store and machine wash before using). Purchase a couple of yards of denim in several shades, weaves or washes (hopefully on sale, denim is a bit pricey per yard). Grab […]
One of Miss Party’s FAVORITE things during the holidays is throwing a big, ol’ Christmas party. It’s like icing and sprinkles on Christmas sugar cookies! Guests are full of holiday cheer when they arrive and even more so when they leave. It’s an evening that brings back the magic of the season and is the […]
Miss Party has been thinking about an upcoming Halloween party that goes beyond most Halloween parties and pretty much crosses the invisible line of a small-scale production with set design, lighting and actors. She just isn’t satisfied with doing a generic ‘Halloween’ theme for this annual party. Where’s the fun in that? To really get […]
Need a low key but very cool party activity? Consider hiring a Makeup ARTIST that specializes in stage makeup and/or artistic face and body painting. No cute, little hearts or flowers on the cheek done by your teenage babysitter (unless your babysitter also happens to be a professional Makeup Artist)…Miss Party is suggesting something more […]
“The Gilded Frame” Photo Shoot is actually a creative party activity that will yield lots and lots of amazing photos! Miss Party is in love with this activity as a way to preserve the memories of a special day but in a super fun, whimsical, relaxed way. Allow a good bit of time for the […]
So, it’s a month until our local high school’s Prom and the pre-Prom party Miss Party is working on. Plans are finally taking shape. It took a bit of brainstorming to find the right theme for this gathering, but Miss Party thinks a “Tiffany’s”-inspiration is perfect for the special occasion and clever to boot with […]
This “Mocktail Party” pre-prom party is an elegant, grown-up cocktail party sans the alcohol! The purpose of this party is tri-fold: it extends the main event to get a bit more fun out of all that time and money spent on looking so good; it’s just plain fun for the kids and parents to ooh […]
Miss Party is a bit of a wild woman this week! The local public high school is performing their spring musical this coming weekend, “Into the Woods”, which means ‘tech week’ is this week. ‘Tech week’ equals long rehearsals every night for all involved –way past dinnertime. A lovely mom and Miss Party are the […]
Miss Party has heard through the grapevine that the Prom Committee for her local high school has narrowed it down to one of two themes for the Junior/Senior Prom –’Masquerade’ or ‘Springtime in Paris’. She loves them both. She could play off either theme and have a lot of fun with her clients’ pre-prom mocktail […]
The flavors of pineapple and coconut together are synonymous with the Hawaiian and Caribbean Islands. You taste them in all sorts of food and drink, morning, noon and night. They just work perfectly together! Here is a fantastic summer fruit quick bread recipe that is easy to put together and delicious as an addition to […]
A ‘scent’sational party starts with the party invitation and extends to the party! Miss Party still prefers snail mail to email. There is just something one can’t compare to the feeling of receiving a party invitation in the mail. It stops us in our tracks of a private moment in our ordinary day and piques […]
This “Halloween Themes” post stands alone, but is actually a continuation of “Halloween Themes, Part 1, 2 and 3 – Wicked fun!” If you are interested in something more scary than what you see below, there are lots of awesomely spooky themes to be found there. Don’t be afraid to check them out, they won’t […]
Halloween at Miss Party’s home is anything but typical! There’s a passion for drama in her humble abode and Halloween just seems to satisfy like no other. She only does scary and spooky, never gory or gross. Miss Party has done many, many Halloween themes over the years, but the “Wicked Gypsies!” theme and invitation […]
As Miss Party walks you through ways to cut or remove costs, let’s keep in mind that: a) most of your guests will attend your Graduate’s party regardless of what they perceive you will provide because they want to support him or her and the family; b) you know how little you spent, but your […]
This ‘Truly Unruly Cards’ centerpiece is so fun for a touch of whimsy on a Mad Tea Party table, or in a smaller version, perfect for a welcome table at an “Alice in Wonderland” themed party! Miss Party wanted the card sculpture to somewhat imitate the John Tenniel illustration from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” of […]
