  So you’ve decided to a cupcake theme party. Aren’t your guests lucky! Of course we know what you’ll serve for dessert but what else can you do to incorporate the theme into your party.

  You can set the stage for your party by sending out cupcake shaped invitations. In it request that they bring a short ‘ode to the cupcake’ with them to be shared at the party, such as my favorite: “small and sweet I do desire, just big enough for one. Unfortunately I eat 10 at a time and now I weigh a ton”. Make sure you give them an example. And once they arrive have everyone write down their ‘fantasy cupcake’. At some point in the party hand out pencil and paper to everyone and as each one is read aloud (by the host) ask your guests to write down who they think authored it. The one who guessed the most correctly wins a small prize. And also vote on which poem is the best and that person will also win a small prize.

  Investing in a cupcake stand will not only showcase the party’s dessert in a beautiful way – but it can also serve as your centerpiece!

  At the party you can have everyone decorate a cupcake to take home with them (not necessarily the gorgeous cupcakes you have planned to serve – you want those to steal the show!). Provide unfrosted cupcakes, 2 or 3 frosting choices and LOTS of embellishments (sprinkles, nuts, candies, nuts, etc.). Don’t forget to have cupcake boxes on hand so that guests can take their creations home).

  If you’re not sending your guests home with cupcakes, then send them home with cute cupcake party favors. These can easily be found and can include cupcake shaped bookmarks, faux cupcake photo holders, cupcake shaped candles to just name a few. You can even present the favors in a small cupcake shaped favor bag!

  Wishing you delicious fun at your cupcake party!

  Are you planning a party and worried you’ll forget something. Believe me when I say it is not a pleasant experience to be in the middle of a party and realize you’ve forgotten something. It might not even be something that big (and these are usually the things easiest to forget about) like napkins for example, but it would still put a damper on the party. That’s why a great tool to use in the preparation process is a party planning checklist. Unfortunately there is no one checklist that works for all kinds of parties. And fortunately there’s a very simple and reliable process in creating a checklist. This process involves items involving budget, items involving guests, items involving location, items involving refreshments, and items involving supplies.

  The first thing in your checklist should be related to your budget. Write down your budget at the top of your party planning checklist so that while creating your checklist, you will be able to see your budget and plan accordingly. This will help you correctly determine the number of people to invite, supplies, venue, etc.

  The next thing on your checklist should be items related to guests. This part of the checklist should have items like creating your guest list, purchasing invitations, having your invitations prepared, and mailing them out. You should include a date which you want all your invitations out by so that your guests will have plenty of notice to save the date in their calendars and RSVP.

  Your checklist should also have a section dedicated to your location. If you’re holding the party at your home, then this is already taken care of. But you’ll still want to have items like what kind of setup will need to be done and how far ahead of time you need to start to be ready in time for the party. If you’re booking a venue, you’ll need to have items like browsing locations and booking a location. You’ll also want a date set for the time you have your location by so that you’ll have a date and location set to put on your invitations.

  For refreshments you’ll need to figure out if you’ll be hiring catering. If so, you should have items like getting quotes from different vendors and having the food and price figured out. If you’ll be providing the food yourself, you’ll need to make a list for what to buy and what needs to be done to get the food prepared.

  Finally you’ll want to have items such as the supplies you’ll need. Also, depending on the type of part you’re planning, you’ll need to include miscellaneous things such as hiring a videographer or photographer. As long as you make a checklist, you don’t have to worry about forgetting anything. Even if you’re not sure you have considered everything, as long as you start preparing ahead of time and have your party planning checklist made out early, you’ll have plenty of time to look things over and add to your checklist.

  Do you like taking part in costume parties? If they are well planned out, these kinds of parties can create some great memories. Whether guests are dressed in costumes or not, theme party planning is a great way to create a fun environment for friends and family.

  For many people theme party planning is tied to a holiday, but that does not need to be the case. You can take advantage of any occasion to throw a theme party. For instance, you could throw an Oscar Party on the night of the Academy Awards. All of your guests could dress as characters from past Oscar winners.

  Another fun idea is to take events out of season. Try throwing a beach party in February. It is a great way to recapture some sunshine in a month that is typically cold and grey. A menu of picnic foods, a few blow-up palm trees, and some umbrella drinks and you can forget about winter for an hour or two.

  You could also do a Christmas in June party. Break out the decorations and create a Christmas environment. You could even have a White Elephant gift exchange as party of the evening’s events.

  The key to successful theme party planning is to let your creativity flow. The good news is, once you have chosen your theme, that theme will help guide you with your planning. You won’t have to over-think your decorations; because the theme provides the structure that you will be working in. The same is true with your menu.

  Once you have your theme party planned out, you can use your invitations to let your guests know what to expect, and what you expect from them. Besides just letting them know what the theme is, you should also let them know if they are expected to be in costume, and if there is anything they should bring to the party.

  If you need some inspiration for theme party ideas, all you need to do is look around. There is always an upcoming holiday, television, or sporting event that you could tap into for party ideas. There are no rules for what you can or cannot do, so you can be as fun or as refined as you want. It’s your party so take advantage of the opportunity to throw the kind of party you have always wanted.

  Theme party planning does take organization and forethought, but the rewards for doing it right are very satisfying. Take advantage of what is going on in your life to have a great theme party for your friends and family.
