Invitations

For example, Party Idea Pros recently helped plan an important life cycle event on a very, very limited budget. The hostess could not cut the guest list below 100 because they have a very large extended family. Together we made the decision to cut costs on the invitations. The client needed a 6 piece invitation which included the main invitation to the ceremony, a more limited invitation to the reception, a special invitation for out of towners to join them for dinner Friday night and brunch Sunday morning, and 3 different response cards corresponding to the different invitations. We created an entire custom package for under $220.00 including envelopes. ribbon, and gems. (Postage not included) How? We used postcards! 100 double sided 4×6 glossy postcards custom designed cost a mere $29.00 plus shipping and handling. We spiced up each card by adding a few colored gems and tied the pieces together with coordinating ribbon. Since the response cards were actual postcards, no envelope was needed. Postcards are also great for Save the Dates!

“You’re Tagged” Graffiti Costume Party

Create an urban edginess to your party — consider a graffiti theme. …zz

zz Invitations …

I guess we have a theme going here -- formal invitations seem unnecessary and even down right boring in the context of a college party. Hand deliver white t-shirts (and if you want, white shorts or sweat pants ) to all your guests. Write all the essential party info on the shirt with
multi-colored fabric markers. The day of your party, think about shooting t-shirts with sling shots (like they do at professional ballgames) into crowds around campus. As an aside, be sure to have lots of
markers available at the party so everyone can leave their mark on everyone else.
...

Decor ...

eHow contributing writer Allana Baroni has written a great ehow step by step on how to decorate for a Hip-Hop Graffiti Themed Party . Rather than re-invent the wheel, here are her suggestions:

Step One
Think Soho loft space. Get rid of excess furniture, breakables and stainables. Throw white sheets over your furniture, rest blank canvases on easels (raid toy stores for inexpensive ones), and lay drop cloths on the floor to catch any drips (art supply stores carry this kind of stuff).

Step Two
Space 2 step ladders about 6 feet apart and rest planks across the steps to create the bar. New tin paint cans from the hardware store make great ice buckets and containers for bar supplies.

Step Three
Line a wall of the party area with matte black paper, sold by the roll, for guests to tag up with chalk. Make sure the paper isn't glossy, because the chalk won't stick if it is.

Step Four
Attach big sheets of plain white paper or muslin (found at art stores) to another wall for the paint and markers.

Step Five
Throw up outlines of letters and images for your taggers to fill in. It will help them overcome their fear of creativeness.

Step Six
If your guests want to tag it and take it, bust out the old jeans, T-shirts, thrift store purses, and athletic shoes. Have glittery and puffy fabric paints, paint pens and markers available (found at craft supply stores).

...
...
Costumes ...

Hanes V-Neck T-Shirts
White Shorts
White Sweat Pants
Athletic ShirtThese simple white t-shirts, shorts, and sweatpants are the perfect "costume" for both men and women at graffiti party!

One more thought ...

Not to state the obvious but everyone knows that ultimately it is the people who make the party. In order to attract an A-list crowd, year-long self promotion is a vital element to you pre-party planning.

Check back often – we find new costumes to add just about every day!

We have broken down this post into the following categories:

Couples Costumes

Costumes that work for most people with many also available in plus sizes. Click on the links or pictures for details but remember, the photos below just give you the overall look. Quite often you can choose from a variety of options ranging from almost dowdy to quite sexy, so be sure to click on the “see more” links option when you visit the costume site. Some of the couples costumes in this category range from King Kong and Anne Darrow to Adam and Eve to Sugar Daddy and his Sugar Baby (my favorite!)

Superhero and Supervillain

Any combination will work!

Formal Costumes

This style costume works for any event but is pretty much your only option if you are attending a formal event or wedding. Yes, this year there seem to be quite a few of you who have opted for a festive Halloween wedding but prefer your guests maintain the formality typically associated with a wedding.

Cute for her. Wearable for him.

These couple costume ideas are designed around the guy who is uncomfortable wearing costumes. They are easy to wear and not too complicated or fussy.

Sexy for her. Sexy for him.

No further explanation needed.

Silly costumes

Just for the fun of it.

Simple. Cheap.

And finally, we have included a section for those of you who are begrudgingly being dragged to a couples costume party but would prefer not to dress up and certainly have no desire to spend a lot of money.

Same Sex Couples / Buddies / Duos

…

We want to encourage all of you to enjoy the search. Choosing your costume and getting ready for the big night is at least half of the fun! We will continue to add new couples costumes as they arrive in the stores, so keep checking back! We have also made the pictures a little larger than usual so you can pretty much see what the costumes look like without clicking back and forth so much.

Charlie Sheen Adult Costume Kit

Men’s Charlie Sheen Malibu Maniac Costume

Another option for Charlie would be to pair any bowling shirt with a pair of slacks and athletic shoes. Throw on a winning hat and/or a pair of Charlie Sheen winning sunglasses and you will be all set.

Frisky French Maid Adult Costume

For the goddess, just about any sexy dress or costume will work but we thought this french maid costume was especially appropriate because in addition to the amusing symbolism, it reminds us of the dress one of Charlie’s goddesses wore to a charity fundraiser.

…

Butterfly & Butterfly Catcher

I like the butterfly catcher idea so much did a bit of research and basically found no off the rack costumes except this bushman costume in very limited sizes

So even better — create your own butterfly catcher costume. Have your man wear a khaki shirt and/or safari vest, khaki shorts, safari, bushman hat or boonie hat, hiking boots, and carry a butterfly net. If you don’t care for this butterfly costume, there are lots more options to choose from!

Enchanted Butterfly Adult Costume

Any Disney Princess and Handsome Prince

Just a note of caution: Unless you go with a fairly sexy looking princess costume, this concept can go bad quickly. An adult in a princess costume can end up looking silly rather than stunning.

…

If your date prefers an even simpler look, he can wear a purple or wine colored cape over black slacks/jeans and a white or black collared shirt. Now add a crown

The classic toga

Rather than a sheet, it is best to go to a fabric store and buy real fabric — solid white is traditional, but any color, any pattern will work if you just want to have fun with the whole toga concept and want to stand out from the crowd. Generally, fabric is less expensive than sheets and is a better shape for wrapping around your body. TogaBoy suggests buying 4-6 yards of fabric.

Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!

Planning a College Party? Think Costume!

Update!

Plan your college costume party today to take advantage of Post Halloween Blow-out Costume Sales

Work hard. Play hard.

Sometimes academics seem easy compared to planning fabulous parties week in and week out. All you social chairs understand — one great party a semester doesn’t cut it. Although unique ideas are hard to come by, sometimes unique is not necessary so long as your party is fresh and over the top. Actually, planning a college party is quite simple. You only need two elements:

Skimpy Costumes
Generous Libations

(Always drink responsibly. Never drink and drive. And please, do not serve alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age!)

Now add a few games, music, and low lighting, and you are pretty well set.

Rather than write a super long post, my plan is to create a new post for each specific costume party theme. This way you can easily pick and choose which theme(s) appeal to you and easily access and visualize the theme.

“Make it a Double!” Costume Party

SUPERHERO Costume Party

“You’re Tagged” Graffiti Party

(With lots more to come!)

Be sure to visit Party Idea Pros Greek Events for more party planning ideas, themes and party supplies:

…

One more thought …

Not to state the obvious but everyone knows that ultimately it is the people who

make the party. In order to attract an A-list crowd, year-long self promotion is

a vital element to you pre-party planning.

Have fun and party hearty!

Plan a Winter Wonderland Party

Sparkling Nights theme but change the colors to blue, silver, and white, and modify the centerpieces a bit by substituting Poinsettia Tealights for the regular floaters and add lots of frosted glass snowflake tea lights holders on each table. Instead of bear grass use white or silver decorative tree branches and then hang some be aded snowflake ornaments from the branches.

Food

Serve at least one of your appetizers – maybe asian noodles – in snowflake takeout boxes (they come with chocolates so just take apart the party favor and re-use the chocolates in one of the favor boxes or scatter on the tables). Serve another appetizer in snowflake theme baking cups

For dinner serve something hearty like rosemary lamb, chicken stuffed with wild rice and cranberries, or even some kind of beef stew. Another way to go is to keep all the food white. Start with an appetizer portion of white pizza or white bean soup. Then serve your favorite white fish, white rice or potatoes, and white turnips. Finish off your white night with what else but white chocolate anything.

…

For dessert — don’t forget the s’mores! And maybe even a bowl of Lindt Lindor Milk & White Chocolate Holiday Snowman Truffles placed in a beautiful cut crystal bowl for your guests to take on their way home.

Make the Night Last a Year

Don’t let the night fade away with the morning sun. Plan ahead — have your camera handy with ideas for least 12 shots of your guests in the back of your mind. You might want to take a photo of your friends toasting one another or shots of the guest of honor seated at your beautifully set table or maybe a picture of a group hug. Mix serious shots with goofy ones and large group photos with individual or small group portraits. The next day, when the night is still fresh, log onto Shutterfly.com to create memory calendars for yourself and the guest of honor. Photo Books Collage Calendars A less expensive yet equally fun option is to choose your favorite photo of the evening and use it to create a 5×7 photo card for the guest of honor to use as thank you notes or even to announce the day, time, and location of your next celebration. Shutterfly – Unique personalize photo cards for all occasions.

A Gift that Gives

Healing Hearts

Party Idea Pros generally does not highlight jewelry but we recently came across a chic new designer who whose unique gemstone collection is a perfect gift for Mother’s Day or any day:

“Gemstones are the spirit of the earth frozen in time. For thousands of years, gemstones have been treasured for their power to heal, energize and inspire. The design, stones and metal all empower you. The artful combination of these elements reflects your spirit and is yours forever.” Tamara Alter

Our favorite collection of Tamara’s is her Healing Hearts collection, created in honor of Tamara’s dear sister Stefanie who passed away at the young age of 43, after a brave and courageous fight against Ovarian Cancer. All profits from the Healing Hearts collection goes to The High Heals Foundation whose mission is to raise funds to develop methods for early diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and aid in the discovery of a cure through research, advocacy and education.
