How to Throw a Wild PartyIn Feburary 2016 20,

In Feburary 2016 20,
Choose the time. Night parties tend to have more pizazz, so choose a time after sundown for your bash. Also, select a weekend day because people will be reluctant to stay late and party hard if they have to get up and go to work the next day.
Select the locale. If planning on hosting the party at your home, make it a backyard or nighttime pool party, with limited access to the inside of your home. This will prevent drinks from getting spilled on your furniture and vases and other fragile items from accidentally being broken. Think about whether your neighbors are far enough from you that loud music and lots of people talking will disturb them. If this is the case, choose a location other than your place for the party.
Pick a theme. While you certainly don't need to have a fully themed party, all your decorations should follow one central idea. White parties, night pool parties, Mexican fiesta and Hawaiian bikini parties will all create a sizzling atmosphere. Buy the decorations for your party in accordance with your chosen theme or idea.
Book the entertainment. While creating a playlist to get your guests moving is easy to do, getting a local rock band to do a set at your party will really get people pumped. You may find a local band that will play for free for the practice and exposure; others may play for small fees. Renting a DJ for the night is another option.
Create the menu and a shopping list for hors d'oeuvres. Be prepared to provide your attendees with enough drinks to last the entire night. Buy nonalcoholic drinks as well for those who will be designated drivers and anyone under the age of 21 who will be attending your party.
Create a guest list and send out the invitations. While traditional invitations may be pretty, they tend to convey a formal tone. You want people to know that this is the kind of party where they can break loose. Use social media such as Facebook and Twitter to get the word out. The website Rattlebox has amusing video and music invitations you can send for free.

How to Host an Afternoon Tea Baby ShowerIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Design a formal invitation using a formal font such as Edwardian Script or Lucinda Calligraphy. Place a delicate line art of a woman sipping from a teacup or a sweet baby with, 'You're Invited' on the front. Inside the invitation, provide the details of the tea party baby shower, including the date, time, location and attire. If the party is a surprise, add that information so no one spills the beans to the guest of honor.
Decorating the Party Room
Lace tablecloths, doilies on the end tables and embroidered pillows on the sofa fill the room with a Victorian sensibility suitable for a tea party. Use fresh flowers in cut-glass vases or vintage pitchers as centerpieces. Set the tables with dessert plates, saucers and teacups. The place settings don't have to match; you can collect a variety of pink or blue floral china, or for a modern mom, use clear glass plates and cups. Provide a comfortable chair for the guest of honor, with plenty of cushions and a footstool.
Traditional Tea Party Menu
A vintage bowl filled with a variety of English and herbal teas allows your guests to select their favorite flavors before you fill their cups with steaming water. Sparkling fruit juices and pitchers of fresh-squeezed lemonade on the tables provide cool refreshment. Several tiered cake stands or trays hold finger sandwiches, scones, sliced tea breads, cookies and other treats that appeal to the mother-to-be. Instead of a sheet cake, individual servings of strawberry shortcake or cupcakes decorated with pink or blue frosting complete the tea party.
Baby Shower Games
Play the guest of honor's favorite baby shower games during and after the tea party. A variety of games, such as 'guess the baby food,' 'baby basket price is right' or baby name scrambles keeps everyone laughing as the guests vie for their game prizes. Slip game cards under each place setting for a brisk game of baby game bingo while the shower gifts are opened. Take plenty of selfies with the mom-to-be and slip in a few photo-bombs for the scrapbook that you'll deliver as an after-shower gift. Send the guests home with small gift bags filled with cookies, candies and other sweet treats.
