Lizzie asks…

how should i decorate for a New Years Party?

I have a small house, I live in California so it might be a little cold that day , so im not sure if i should do it in the backyard or in the kitchen?!! Also i need some ideas to decorate. I have ’2010′ confetti, Dizzy Danglers that hang from the ceiling and say 2010, and a centerpiece sign that says HAPPY NEW YEAR. I dont know what else to buy. And also i dont want it to be a boring party so i also want games or fun activities ideas. PLEASE help. i only have 2 more days.!!

Sounds like you’re on a roll- maybe light candles night of? Get some really nice champagne flutes before the night (and if you want, give them out as party favors so your guests can always remember the night) http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Karin-Grafix-Flutes-Set-of-4-by-Dansk?ideaID=11165&prodID=301241 how about a murder mystery dinner party game http://www.gifts.com/search/product/A-Taste-for-Wine-and-Murder-Dinner-Party-Game?ideaID=9701&prodID=130576 i’m not sure if you’re friends are all the same gender, but if you’re having all your girlfriends over consider this ‘girls night out’ game http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Zobmondo-Board-Game?ideaID=4288&prodID=74397 if you’re having over both male and female friends, then a battle of the sexes game would be fun http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Battle-of-the-Sexes-2nd-Edition-Board-Game?ideaID=9314&prodID=194871 or http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Man-Laws-and-Woman-Rules-Game?ideaID=9314&prodID=226409 i also like this table topics conversation icebreaker http://www.gifts.com/search/product/table-topics-original?ideaID=9990&prodID=109722 (you’ll notice to the right that there is a girls version). A girls’ drinking guide would keep the party lively- it has different suggestions of drinks+recipes http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Girls-Night-Over-1-000-Drinks-for-Going-Out-Staying-In-and-Having-Fun-Books-?ideaID=4288&prodID=301447 this is a really cute tic-tac-toe game with shot glasses http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Shot-Glasses-Tic-Tac-Toe?ideaID=5668&prodID=182199 if you want more ideas, check out this new year’s eve guide http://www.gifts.com/occasions/new-years-eve-day/o6hraicp?mode=72 hope this helps!

Carol asks…

Around the world theme centerpieces?

We are having a party and the theme is ‘around the world’ and we r trying to think of creative centerpieces for tables that don’t cost a whole lot. ideas??

Susan answers:

For a main centerpiece, print out flags and copy them to the size that would fit on long wooden skewers and group them in vases. At intervals on the tables, Get jelly beans and group these in color combinations for different country’s flags in small clear plastic cups. Print out small paper flags and glue around toothpicks to place in the matching cup. For instance, for the US put red white and blue jelly beans in a cup with a toothpick American flag. For Italy, you would use red, white, and green.

A local party store.
Few years ago I went to one and mine was Hannah Montana themed and they had TONS of stuff. Mostly birthday stuff so you’re good!:)
