Trivia Games for Birthdays and Bridal Showers

One particularly fun way to celebrate a birthday and a bridal shower is to be completely sentimental about the celebrant and the experiences she went through until she reached that age or that event in her life.

Besides speeches and last dances, birthday getting-to-know-you games bring out the mushiness in people, so that a party planner won’t even have to ask anyone for a speech or a short song for the celebrant, everyone will be jumping in to contribute their trips to memory lane.

Nostalgia works!

A simple sentence starting with “Do you remember the time…” will make the guests and the celebrants feel the occasion. A must-do during speech time is to choose the person in the group who knows the celebrant best. One way to do this is to survey the people using these questionnaires called It’s All About the Birthday Star. It asks the guests what they know about the birthday girl or bride-to-be and you and the celebrant can decide which guest should do the toast.

One can even do a trivia game based on the answers to the questionnaires.

Bridal Shower Ideas: The NY Weekend Adventure Party

Handling a big group is one of the challenges of a party planner who goes the extra mile and helps a client enjoy an out-of-town trip. One of the most daunting scenarios I can think of is traveling with a group of party goers (e.g. a bridal shower group) around New York City. A party planner who does her homework will get around the potential disasters by simply planning ahead and learning the ropes of NY travel by contacting travel agents and tour guides. Timely booking and proper logistics knowledge are the keys to a wonderful NY adventure.

So, what’s the worst that could happen? Well, you all could get lost, for starters. Bear in mind that the client’s time in a location is limited and every hour in the strange new place counts. Getting lost in the jungle of buildings trying to find a particular hotel will eat up time, and will give you a bad reputation.

Learn about airport shuttles and how to arrange for group trips early to avoid the rush. One such shuttle service provider is an advertiser, JFK Airport Shuttle. When you got the logistics arranged, the fun will follow. The whole group will soon be comfortable in the hotel, and the only things to think about are the activities for the weekend that you are there; where to eat and where to party.

They say that party planners never get rattled or tense? They do. They just don’t show it.
Have a nice trip!

Party Rentals: Party Games, Inflatables

How do you deal with theme parties that require you to provide a mechanical bull, like a Rodeo-style bachelor party; a water slide for a kid’s birthday party, water fun-themed?

Answer: you rent the equipment.

For the water-fun party, for example, you can avail of Water Slide Party Rentals and Inflatable Party Rentals. This will save a lot of time and energy, because you do not have to buy these bulky things yourself. You can come up with an arrangement and propose your deal to the rentals owner. They are some people in your neighborhood you should know of and be in touch with at all times.

Another benefit of Party Rentals is that you can add a whole section of ‘party games available’ in your company sales page.

That way, your clients will see that you have more to offer than the usual party themes.

Cross Country Party Trips: For a More Adventurous Singles Party

A bachelorette party in another location is preferred by those who have the means to bring their friends with them to other countries. Some of the more popular destinations include Thailand, particularly Bangkok, the city of fun and thrills. There are certain activities that a bride to be wants to share with her friends before tying the knot. Some really new things that she wasn’t able to do before.

Getting the best accommodations and tickets at the last minute is difficult, particularly for a big group. For really far destinations such as Europe, getting accommodations is trickier because of the rush. Luckily, prebooking online has made this task a lot easier.

Here are some recommended links for those looking to turn their parties into a cross country affair: Thailand Hotels, Bangkok Hotels , United Kingdom UK Hotels, Manchester Hotels.
