Naughty
Does the venue usually provide table numbers, or do I have to make them myself? Am I supposed to come up with some sort of holders for them, or buy picture frames to put them in? Any ideas?
Thank you!
Answer
Call your venue and ask the events/wedding coordinator.
Our venue provided table number holders, but I made our own table numbers using a Brides kit that matched our invitations and name cards.
You could use picture frames, picture holders (the wire type stands), or google your wedding's theme (if you have one) and see if you can find something to match. IE, our theme was beach and I found starfish and beach chairs....but ultimately decided on just the simple ones to save money.
I definitely recommend trying to find them on eBay over buying them in the store! Good luck!!

graduation party ideas?
alexx
now I'm having a graduation party for my grade school graduation and i need some ideas. any fun games or party decor ideas would really help... anything with the number 2008?
Answer
There are lots of great themes, and I do like the Luau one above.
If you like a theme you could choose things like Circus, Pirates, Under The Sea, Mardi Gras, Wild West, Hollywood, Casino. Oriental, 50s, Superheros, Musical Mexican, Golf, all about the graduate.
For each you can insist on costumes, although it is easier to ask people to dress up in things they may have such as jeans and t-shirts for wild west.
Decorations can be balloons (tied in bunches), streamers, confetti, a table centrepiece, theme pictures, banners with 2008, bunting and pictures of the graduate.
Can display lots of graduate pictures at all ages, plus show videos.
Decorate guests with 2008 funtoos, 2008 glasses, and 2008 beads.
Food and drink can be buffet, cold meats, salad, pizza, burgers, fries, water, coke, fuit juice. Also a cake to help the celebrations.
Lots of favors can be fun with 2008 glasses, blow outs, candy, pens and pencils.
Play the music you want bearing in mind the guests so that they all hear something they might like.
Arrange lots of help with preperation, decorations, clean up, food, drink, games, photographs and favors. Each person can take over one area.
Some games you might like to try:
Limbo
Play some fun music while your friends stand in line waiting to bend backwards low enough to fit under the limbo stick (broom handle, yardstick, etc.). In order to win, the limbo master must not touch the stick or fall on the floor while limboing under the stick (which is usually held by 2 people).
Bobbing For Apples
Set up a large pail filled with water and enough appls to cover the surface. Lay out plenty of towels. The guests using only their teeth must try and get an apple out of the pail. Usually hilarious and very messy!.
Talent Spots
As a break from the normal graduation party games a talent spot lets everyone get a drink and watch the entertainment. Set aside a stage with lighting if possible with music pre arranged to suit the act. You can ask the guests to prepare something in the party invitations and give them a theme if you wish. For example you could allow them to do anything, be a ringmaster or clown for a circus party, sing mambo no. 5 at a Mardi Gras party, sing backwards, act out a script for a hollywood theme or tell jokes
Pass The Orange
This fun-filled game is inexpensive and simple. The only supplies it requires are 2 oranges and people with both a neck and a chin. Divide the group into 2 teams. When the person (not actually playing the game) says "Go!" the people must pass the orange from neck to neck using only chins and necks. The team that can get the orange to the last neck in line the quickest without dropping the orange wins.
Treasure Hunt
In advance hide lots of items in the garden (or indoors). Tie in the objects with the party theme. Give everyone a sheet with the hidden items listed (or drawn for youngsters.) Time the teams or individuals as they find the items. For example for a pirate theme party you could hide fake coins. Have prizes for the winners.
There are lots of great venues such as school hall, home, park and beach.
Write out some rough timings for start games, eat, quiet time, games, dancing and when to give out favors. Helpers wil find that good.
I hope you have a great party, good luck!
