Can You Combine Rock and Rave themes?

It may be hard to mix Rock 'n' Roll and Rave themes because rock and rave music are two very different music genres. Although perhaps you can still have a Rave Debut but you can make your outfit sort of a Rocker Chic! We suggest you choose one dominating theme, then give a hint of that other theme as well.

If you choose a Rockstar / rocker chic birthday party, maybe you can still make use of glowsticks to decorate your venue. If you choose a rockstar birthday celebration, your invitation can come with a guitar string perhaps, or maybe a temporary paper tattoo and just include in your message: “Come in style. Glamour rock awaits you!” Something like that.

If you choose a Rave theme, include a glowstick maybe and include in your invitation a message telling the guest to crack the glowstick during your party.

For the 18s, we don’t suggest you include many of that because the idea here (especially for a Rave-themed birthday party) is not to let your guests just sit down all the time. Maybe you can have 1 or 2 18s then dance the night away! You can have 18 Glowsticks to replace your 18 Roses or 18 Candles.

For your 18 Glowsticks, each of the person holding one will break the glowstick first to light it up before making a speech. This can create drama if you dim the lights.

Try also 18 Llighters instead of 18 candles. For 18 roses, try 18 Tequilla Shots, or 18 Champagnes where each of your 18 roses will toast before dancing with you.

You can also have a TOP 18, (instead of the TOP 100 in music countdowns), where you and your 18 roses will dance to a favorite song of yours.

For 18 treasures, try 18 Keepsakes, 18 Mementos, 18 Fabulous Finds and 18 Glam Styles (in keeping with the rock glam theme as well).

That’s it and we hope this helps!

Holi Festival

Holi Festival, a gallery on Flickr.

The "Festival of Colors" or "Holi" is an exciting event in India when colorful water and powder are thrown at people within the area while everybody parties!

This can be an awesome theme for your debut party or 16th birthday celebration.

A Vintage Inspiration

I really love this picture. The colors are very pleasing to the eye. It can actually be a good inspiration for a vintage themed birthday party. Let's dissect the colors!

First off, pale yellow. You can make this as your base color. Your skirt can be yellow as well as your headpiece. If you want to go for gloves, you can have them in this color too! Then sprinkle your dress with beads or laces in the hue of pink. Have both shades present - the bright one and the darker one. You can have pink shoes too, that would be so pretty. Next, the pale orange / peach color will look great next to the pink hues. It kind of accentuates the pink accent colors in your bodice. You can have a peach-colored purse, accented with the color pink of course. Don't let these two colors get separated or they may not look good. Or maybe they will. It's all in the creativity of your party gown or dress designer.

My point here is, it's important to look for color pegs like this one to know the kind of color scheme you can play around with!

Party Food: Cheese Munching before the Meal

Eating time is undeniably one of the things your party guests look forward to. Every time I go to a wedding banquet or a birthday party or anything that calls for a celebration like graduation parties or christening, I always get relieved as soon as the food is served. Especially in the cases of debut and wedding parties, which rely on an event flow with carefully structured programmes, most guests (especially the hungry ones) worry about whether they are to watch the entire programme first then eat afterwards.

Celebrants nowadays know better. To make the guests stay until the end of the event, they have to give them the energy they need - serve the meal first! I mean of course your friends and family love you that's why they celebrated with you on your special day. But you have to make them comfortable as well.

But in most cases, your visitors will become too hungry especially in big events when you have to wait for all your guests to come in the reception area before meals are served. Sometimes, you have to make them wait for the entire entourage to be introduced and to parade to their seats before your guests can finally fall in line for food. If this is inevitable, you have to get them busy. Prepare a nicely done finger food for your party.

Common appetizers for parties are chips and cookies. We have a very simple and delicious way to hold your guests' interest. Make them a CHEESE CRUNCH!

Things you need:
- Molo wrapper
- Grated cheese
- Frying pan
- Cooking oil

Shaping these things is the most fun part. You can make them empanada-shaped, or shape them like a stick or a sailor's hat! Your creativity counts!



TADAAAHHH!!!

Scroll Invitation

Debut party invitations need to catch your guest's attention and make a statement as to what they can expect during your party. Party invites don't need to be one-dimensional, like some pieces of scented paper inserted in matching envelopes. When planning your 18th birthday party invite, try to think out-of-the-box!

Scroll invitations like this one will exude your party's theme as well as your unique personality!

Party Theme Idea: CAKE SWAP

A cake swap party is ideal for girls' get togethers. 18th birthday party themes are usually centered on the debutant offering something to the guests. But this particular theme requires every guest to participate by bringing a cake with them for the party.

A cake swap party allows you and your friends to interact while eating different types of delectable cakes!

When organizing a cake swap themed party, you can either assign a certain kind of cake to every person or draw names and numbers. When all your friends have brought their share to the party, you will all have a great time just sampling on each type of cake!

You can pair each cake slice with various drinks like tea, milk or even wine. You and your friends can even bake together during your party, which is a great bonding experience for all of you.

Cakewalk

For a fundraiser, you can have a game called "Cakewalk" and have all the cakes placed on the table. Just like "Trip to Jerusalem", the Cakewalk game lets each person dance around the cakes. When the music stops randomly, a number will be drawn. The person who is in front of the numbered cake will be tasked to buy the cake.



You can have a number of variations for this game as long as you think it will be appropriate for the occasion.

Have a sweet-tasting party!
