Adult Party Game Ideas

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Adult party game ideas can be difficult to find. Run an Internet search, and you might get results for X-rated parties and other unmentionable games. If you are looking for good, clean adult party game ideas, look no further.

Ideas for Adult Party Games

*Casino night is a great theme for any adult party. You can rent casino games, slot machines, and even have your own party money printed.

*The Mardi Gras party is a favorite for adult party themes. Guests can come in full costume and dance the night away.

*A Luau party is another fun adult party theme perfect for those warm summer nights. Even if you do not have a beach nearby, you can create a Luau in your own backyard with a bonfire, good food, relaxed attire, and some inexpensive leis.

*Select your favorite old movie and throw a party centered on your favorite characters and scenes.

* Do you have a favorite decade? Are you an eighties child, or a sixties groupie? You can throw an adult party themed to match your favorite time period.

Adult Party Game Ideas

Try out a few of these adult party games on your guests to liven up your party.

*The Irish Drinking Song Game- Have guests write and sing lyrics to an Irish drinking song. (This game is similar to the skits presented on Whose Line Is It Anyways.)

* Apple Bob- Guests compete to pull out apples floating in a tub of water using only their teeth.

* Belly Dancing Competition- Girls judge the guys and vice versa!

*Blind Volleyball- This game is played like a traditional game of volleyball except a sheet is used instead of a net so players cannot see the other team.

* Egg Breakers- Provide guests with cartons of eggs- some are hard-boiled, some are not. Eggs must be broken over your head. The guest who finds the most hard-boiled eggs wins.

* Diaper Race- Guests race to see who can diaper a baby doll first, using only one hand.

*Worthless Junk Auction- Raffle off your worthless junk to the highest bidder with a special prize hidden with one piece of junk.

*Board Game Mania- Present your guests with fun board games like Cranium Cadoo, Cranium, and Checkers.

*Crazy Put Put- Create a haphazard mini-golf course in your backyard and give guests plastic kid’s golf clubs to put with.

Adult party game ideas are nearly endless. If you have a favorite party game from childhood, go ahead and present it to your guests. Chances are good that they loved the same games and will play along too. Don’t forget to throw in a few motivational prizes to get the games going!


Checklist for Choosing the Perfect Event Location

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Choosing the perfect event location is one of the biggest steps in planning an event such as a wedding, birthday party, prom, or corporate event. Selecting the wrong location can ruin your event and finding the perfect event location helps all those other details fall into place more easily.

In order to evaluate an event location properly, you must have a list of your required needs for your event.

Evaluating Your Needs for Choosing the Perfect Event Location

Different types of events call for different types of facilities. Review this checklist to determine your needs for choosing the perfect event location.

*How many guests are you expecting?

*Will you need audio/visual equipment for your event?

*Are the meeting facilities located within a reasonable travelling distance?

*Is the facility within city limits and subject to any special ordinances, such as low-level noise after 9 PM or a curfew?

*Is the facility available on your desired date and for the duration of your event?

* Is on-site parking available?

What to Ask When Reviewing an Event Location

It is best to evaluate each possible event location in person. Call to schedule a walk through with a facility employee and prepare a list of questions to take with you.

Things to Look for When Visiting an Event Location

*Is the overall condition of the building in good repair (I.E. no peeling paint, no sagging roofs, all handrails are secure)?

*Is there adequate guest parking?

*Are heating and cooling provided for the rooms you will require?

*How many bathrooms are available for guest use?

*How noisy is the surrounding area?

*Is there a kitchen available on site?

* Does the facility provide enough seating options for all of your guests?

*Are there enough outlets in the room to meet your needs?

* Is there any evidence of insect or rodent infestation on the grounds?

*Is the surrounding area visually appealing?

Things to Ask When Evaluating an Event Location

*Is audio/visual equipment provided? If so, what is the rental charge and requirements for use?

*Is on-site catering available?

*Does the facility offer staffing for assistance with the event?

*Are parking and direction signs allowed?

*Can banners or ceiling decorations be hung?

* Are there any limitations for open flames such as candles?

*Can the room’s layout and lighting be adjusted if necessary?

*What services does the facility offer?

*Is alcohol allowed on site?

*Does the facility offer a guarantee?

* What payment options are available?

*Will you need to sign a contract to secure the event location?

*What are the terms of renting the event location?

Never select an event location without viewing it in person. Choosing the perfect event location takes planning and leg work for the event coordinator. The perfect location for your event meets all of your needs, provides a visually appealing atmosphere, and includes a friendly support staff at a reasonable price.


Kids Birthday Party Games and Party Favor Ideas

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Party games and party favors for your child’s birthday party should be fun and reflective of your child’s tastes. Selecting party games and party favors is easy if you select a theme for your birthday party. Themes for children’s birthday parties are numerous. The best way to select a winning theme is to let your child help you choose.

Selecting a Party Theme for Party Games and Party Favors

Popular children’s birthday party themes are most often centered on an item children enjoy such as, tractors, princesses, horses, trains, or a cartoon or storybook character. You can also select your child’s favorite color, movie, animal, or song as a birthday party theme. Another fun idea for both boys and girls is to throw a scavenger hunt birthday party.

Ideas for Party Games for Your Child’s Birthday Party

Children love to sing and dance. Party games that incorporate silliness, free movement, or singing are always a hit. The freeze game can be played to your child’s favorite song. Start the music and children are allowed to dance any way they choose as long as the music continues.

Stop the music and anyone caught moving has to sit down. The classic Red Light, Green Light is a game children can play on their own. Even a simple game of tag can become a child’s birthday party game.

Ideas for Party Favors for Your Child’s Birthday Party

Party favors for children’s birthday parties come in two categories, expensive and inexpensive. Some ideas for inexpensive party favors are McDonald’s gift certificates, homemade cookies, helium balloons, coloring books, and candy.

More expensive party favors can also double as party games. Children love crafts. Several craft ideas can be used as birthday party favors and serve as a game during the party. One great idea is to purchase picture frame decorating kits.

These can be foam, wooden, or ceramic. Children decorate their frame at the party and get their picture taken with the guest of honor before leaving. You can then mail the picture with the Thank You card for each guest to put in his or her frame as a memento of the event.

Another make-and-take craft idea is personalized t-shirts. You can prepare t-shirts in advance with an iron on design commemorating the event, than allow each child to sign each other’s shirts. You can also provide fabric paints, markers, and stamps for children to create their own shirt.

Selecting party games and party favors for your child’s birthday party is easy once you determine your budget and select a party theme. Fun birthday party games and party favors are a terrific way to make your child’s birthday party a success.


Summer Water Fun - Waterslide Party Rentals

Monday, July 7th, 2008

During the dog days of summer, water fun is a popular relief from the intense heat and humidity, but one often overlooked source of summer water fun is waterslide party rentals. Waterslides make a terrific addition to nearly any summer party or event.

Birthday parties, fundraisers, block parties, wedding receptions, graduation parties, family reunions, and friendly get-togethers are all fun events that are terrific opportunities for waterslide party rentals.

Waterslide Party Rentals

Waterslide party rentals are available in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Some waterslides have the option of dry play in addition to wet sliding, and some include obstacle courses and specially created themes such pirate ships, haunted houses, and castles. This makes renting a waterslide perfect for themed parties.

Waterslide party rentals add fun and interest to any summer event. Waterslides are ideal for children’s gatherings, but even adults with a sense of adventure enjoy waterslide parties. The older adults at your party will enjoy watching younger guests frolic and play on waterslide party rentals.

Summer Water Fun: Waterslide Party Rental Themes

Creating a summer water fun theme for your party is a great way to make your party planning easy. Water games like water balloon relays and tosses, squirt gun fights, and sprinkler relay races all add to a summer water fun theme. You can take your summer water fun theme a step farther by selecting a specific color or character to use throughout your party decorations. A True Blue Summer, Sizzling Red -Hot Summer Fun, Fruity Festival, Come to the Circus, Wet N Wild Festivities, and Sliding Through Summer are all possible themes for your summer water fun party.

Summer Water Fun: Waterslide Party Rentals Menu

No summer water fun party would be complete without an assortment of summer foods. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, and baked beans are summer party staples. Macaroni salad, potato salad, coleslaw, potato chips, and vegetable salad all make great side dishes for your summer water fun party. You can also serve a variety of summer fruits such as pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, and raspberries. Ice cream, popsicles, or snow cones make the perfect dessert at a waterslide party, and flavored waters carry out your water fun theme.

Waterslide Party Rentals Planning

When planning your summer waterslide party, you may want to gather a few extra supplies such as sunscreen, towels, fun sunglasses, and first aid kits. Pass out funky and fun sunglasses to your guests and ask everyone to apply sunscreen generously to avoid any party related injuries.

Waterslide party rentals are a fun and festive way to celebrate the joys of summer while seeking relief from the blistering heat. Call your local waterslide rental company today to reserve your waterslides and get started planning your summer water fun party.
