How to Host Appetizers for a Progressive Dinner PartyIn Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Find out from the party organizers how many people will be attending. Plan what appetizers and drinks you will serve. Restrict your food choices to finger food, chips and dips.
Provide adequate parking in front of your house for the day of the party. Progressive dinner party attendants may carpool together, but do what you can to make parking for many cars as easy as possible.
Get out dishes and utensils ahead of time, especially if the party is starting at a different location. Have your platters and serving dishes set up and put them in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap. Get out the drinks and mixers you will be serving if you are serving cocktails. Set up chairs, decorations and anything else you want to have out for the party.
If you start at a different location, leave early so you can prepare for your leg of the party. Go home and take your platters out of the refrigerator and get everything set up for the guests' arrival.
Keep your eye on the time during the party. Progressive dinner parties are on a schedule and you'll need to let the guests know when it's time to wrap things up and head to the next location.

Corn Roast Party IdeasIn Feburary 2016 22,

In Feburary 2016 22,
Kick off the corn roast festivities right from the start with some corn-inspired invitations. Find cards that feature the golden vegetable and stick corn kernels in the envelope instead of confetti. For an even more creative invite, send a corn husk to the guest-to-be. Wrap the party information around the outside or write it right on the husk using a permanent marker. These invitations can be hand-delivered or left at the guest's doorstep as a surprise.
Food
This party is centered around corn, so brush up on your best corn roasting recipes before the big day. Herbs and spices add extra flair to the dish; experiment with different styles a few days before the party. Prepare other foods to serve, too, including chips, beans and maybe some barbecued meat. Provide plenty of refreshments, including soda, lemonade and beer.
Decorations
Get as corny as you wish when decorating for your corn roast. Use red-and-white-checkered linens to adorn the tables, giving the party a rustic outdoor feel. Instead of chairs, provide bails of hay that guests can relax on. Use the vegetable of honor as centerpieces. Arrange a few husks of corn sticking out of a vase. Find some with a lot of silk coming out of the top for added texture.
Activities
Host some corny contests for your guests. Hold a corn shucking contest; challenge guests to see who can rip off the husk, wash and bag the most corn in a given amount of time. A corn-eating contest is another activity centered around the vegetable. Water balloon and squirt gun fights offer a way to cool down during the hot summer party.

How to Throw a Teen Pool PartyIn Feburary 2016 07,

In Feburary 2016 07,
Inflate beach balls and write out the invitations on them using a permanent marker. Let the air out of the balls, stuff them in large envelopes and mail them to guests two weeks prior to the party. Be sure and tell them to bring a swimsuit and towel but have extra towels on hand for those who forget them.
Clean the pool and perform any chemical maintenance needed the day before to ensure it's ready in time for the party.
Plan a menu of light snack foods and lots of beverages. Sodas are definitely popular, but make sure you have juices and bottled water which are much better for hydrating teens playing in the hot sun.
Provide several bottles of sunscreen and make sure it gets used. Most teens think it's not cool to put it on, but they'll get over it. Better to have them roll their eyes at you and think you're crazy than send kids home with a bad burn.
Prepare some activities to keep kids from getting bored. Water volleyball is always popular and can accommodate a large number of people at a time. To give them some downtime out of the pool, and engage guests who might not like to swim, plan a trivia game about the guest of honor to see who knows her the best.
Get kids out of the pool a half hour or so before the party's over. It will give them time to dry off and change clothes before their parents arrive.
