Ladybug Party Ideas Part 1

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Ladybug party ideas include several considerations like any other party such as the decorations, invitations, food and drinks, party supplies, and also the games and activities for the party. They are suitable for kids, especially little girls, who like ladybug. The ladybug party theme is ideal for spring and summer party ideas. We see these cute little bugs every year and most people love them. How many insects can you say that about? When we see these little ladies dressed in their red and black uniforms we know spring has sprung and we look forward to more warm days. A ladybug theme party makes a good birthday party choice for infants, toddlers and elementary school children, especially little girls, who love the pretty polka-dotted bugs. Make your own party invitations with some red, black and white construction paper and some goodly eyes. Cut out a round or oval shape with one of the colors, make small circle cut outs with the other color. Glue the spots on to the back of your invitation. Glue on the eyes on and make some thin cuts of black paper to be antenna and glue them in place. Write all the party info on the white paper and glue it on the underside of the invitation. You can also use ladybug stickers to decorate your paper. For the party decorations, black and red is the obvious and attractive color scheme for this party theme, along with green for grass. You can also combine red and pink in the party decorations, for example by having a red tablecloth with pink napkins or using a combination of pink and red balloons or streamers. Make food and drink a part of the decorations, especially if the party is being held for an older child, who will appreciate an attractive snacks table. Set out pitchers of red fruit punch, plates of watermelon slices and bowls of strawberries and jars of red and black or red and pink jelly beans and red and black licorice. For the rest of the party supplies needed with the ladybug theme, get matching paper plates, cake plates, drinking cups and napkins. Do not forget the matching balloons and especially the piñatas; it will be the main décor of the party. If your budget will permit it, get a specially made ladybug cake. If not, you may opt for red cupcakes with black candy sprinkles instead. You can make fun of this party theme by creating games and activities related to the theme. Scatter the children around the party area and play some music. An ideal song would be a children’s song about ladybugs. Have the children flutter around the room like ladybugs. When the music goes off, the “ladybugs” have to freeze and be completely still until the music comes back on. Any player caught moving while the music is off is out of the game. Award a prize to the last player standing. Ladybug spot relay race can bring a lot of fun to the children. Divide the players into two teams and have them line up at a starting line. Place a cone about 15 feet away from the starting line. Give the first player in each team line two black construction paper dots. When you say, “Race,” the players must use the “ladybug dots” to walk around the cone and back. They must place one dot in front of the other to walk on only the dots. Players cannot touch the ground. Each player in line must do the same thing. The first team to finish the ladybug spot relay race wins the game. Another interesting game is the ladybug tic-tac-toe. Use rope to create a large tic-tac-toe board. If you do not have rope, use sidewalk chalk on concrete. Mark a standing line about 10 feet from the board (adjust the line closer for young children and farther away for older children). Have two players stand at the line. Give one player six red beanbags and the other player six black beanbags. For added decoration, paint red dots on the black beanbags and black dots on the red beanbags. Have the players toss the beanbags onto the board. The first player to get a tic-tac-toe wins the game.

Masquerade Party Ideas

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

Masquerade party ideas are very popular around the world and organizing this type of party requires some planning and considerations like decorations, themes, food and drinks for the party, costumes, invitations, tableware, party favors and also the activities for the party. The Masquerade party has been going on for centuries! They originated in Venice as a way for the upper classes to indulge in immoral practices without fear of being found out. They managed to do this by wearing masks and concealing their identities. However in recent times the masquerade party has declined in Venice but has more recently re-immerged and is now popular all throughout the world. In Venice there are many shops that specialize in Masquerade masks, which are often hand crafted in the store. The basic element of this kind of party is the mask. Also known as masquerade ball masks, these disguises cover part or all of the face with the intention of hiding the identity of the wearer. There are a variety of types of these masks including half face masks and full face Venetian style masks. They can be very basic with just a single base color and surrounding only the part of the face around the eyes. However, they can also be extreme with multiple colors, strange shapes, and a variety of add-ons for flair (like huge feathers!). If you want your party to be a little more formal, you can lean more toward a masquerade ball. It has the same basic rules, but usually includes more specific rules for the mask and may include other attire rules, like suits and ties for men and dresses only for women. These are usually a little lower key because of the formality, so if you’re looking for a crazier idea you should go with the standard masquerade party rules. To setup your party correctly, you really just need to plan a party like you normally would be give the guests a little more direction. If you don’t explicitly direct them, they will show up without a mask and ruin the mood of the party. With your invitation, whether verbal or written, tell them that a mask (and perhaps a matching costume) is required for entry into the party. If you have an additional theme or color scheme in mind, make sure to mention that as well. After that we have to concentrate on fitting decoration on the theme. Be delicate with our decorations and their placement. A few attractive, well-placed decorations go a long way to locale the theme. The costumes are the genuine idol of the event, decorations just improve the mood. Budget will also play a big role in the decision-making process. Mainly for the decorations of Masquerade Ball we have to consider the colors, the shape, textures, lighting and costumes as well to sure our invitations to them. Having a party is fun, but without the food, your party will go downhill. Try putting in a variety of food like pizza or pasta, as you can be sure that all of your guests will enjoy those things. Try to mix everything up and to incorporate different types of food and drinks, so that your party caters even to the pickiest eaters. How annoying is it to invite somebody and find out that he or she doesn’t even like any of the food at your party? So create a variety of food at your party and it will be a success. If you’ll have a large crowd, you may want to assign guests to seats by using personalized seating cards. Decorate the table with masquerade party supplies and purple, green and gold fabrics and add gold paper supplies and gilded china to make the table sparkle. Add enchanting Mardi Gras beads, coin necklaces and lots of confetti to brighten up your table! One centerpiece suggestion is to make a large bouquet of feather-decorated masks and add some Mardi Gras balloon clusters and other masquerade party decorations. Offer each guest a small party favors as a thank-you note for coming. Some ideas include colorful Mardi Gras beads, decorated masks, party photos and other masquerade party supplies! This will surely be a fun and interesting party for them.

For costumes, the guys are expected to wear lederhosen leather shorts. They are truly horrible but very funny. Get some braces to hold them up! Also you’ll need some knee height white socks and a hat with a feather in! As for the ladies, you get to wear traditional Alpine peasant girl costume. This includes a lacy blouse and a tight bodice. No party is fun without games. For an Oktoberfest party, you can organize game like the beer mug race. Beer Mug Race is a fun game in which players must race around the party area with a mug full of beer. The player who has the most beer at the end of the race is declared the winner. For young party guests give them a beer mug full of apple juice. Beer cap toss is another game that you can plan out. Line a few beer steins in a row a foot apart from each other. The object of the game is to throw the beer caps into the beer steins. Award points for each beer cap made with beer steins further away from the throwing line being worth the most points. Another example will be the Pretzel Throw. Make Pretzels of cut out pretzels shapes from several layers of cardboard. Once the shapes of cardboard are cut tape them together. With many layers of cardboard the pretzel will have enough weigh for throwing control. The object of the game is to throw the pretzels at a pole placed in the ground. Parties inside can place a dowel on the floor and throw the pretzels at the target. This game is played like a game of horseshoes with points awarded for closest to the target and the pretzel hole around the pole. All these games will certainly create a fun and exciting Oktoberfest party.

Decor for an Oktoberfest party theme revolves around the colors of the Bavarian Oktoberfest flag: white and cobalt blue, preferably in a diamond pattern. The flag sports a gold lion crest, so posters of the lion are a nice touch. For an adult party, steins, mugs and other beer-themed decorations are a blast. Pass around Alpine feathered caps and beer goggles for guests to wear. You can also fire up the grill for bratwurst and meanwhile served the guests with sauerkraut and big salty pretzels.
