Top Three Party Themes for Fall

Step into any store right now and you’re bound to find Halloween costumes, candy and décor. If you’re lucky, you might event spot Christmas decorations. So there’s no denying it. Fall is here. If you’re looking for theme party ideas for your next event, why not go with a fall theme? Here's my list of the top three themes for fall:

3. Halloween

As one that prefers tropical locales in the winter, I dislike fall greatly because it constantly warns me that colder weather is on its way. And, I inevitably try to pretend that it’s not fall by wearing my summer clothes, when I should be pulling out jackets, and swimming in freezing water. But oddly enough, I do like Halloween. For those adults that aren't afraid to celebrate Halloween, have a Halloween Costume Party. See my previous blog, How to Throw a Great Halloween Party, for ideas for your party or event.

2. Christmas

Not quite the grinch I used to be, Christmas theme parties can be great fun. And, they’re great for corporate holiday parties. Need ideas on creating the Ultimate Christmas Party? Never fear. I’ll have a blog up shortly, guiding you through the party planning process.

1. Las Vegas Casino

No, Las Vegas isn’t a Fall theme. But, imagine now that you’ve survived all the Halloween and Christmas parties that you can bear. Would you really want to host another fall related theme party? I don’t think so. This is why the Las Vegas theme is so perfect at this time. It can be used all year round, which is precisely why it’s at number one. This theme will give you a much needed break from pumpkins, jingle bells, spider webs, apple bobbing and Christmas trees. However, if you still haven’t had enough, you can also combine Las Vegas with the Christmas theme. In my most dramatic voice, “Think: Christmas in Las Vegas.”

There you have it; my top three list of fall themes. I’d love to hear what your top three fall themes are.

Cheap Entertainment for Tough Times

Having a party on a tight budget? We all feel the current state of the economy, whether we're shopping for groceries, or searching for gas in a gas shortage state. It's everywhere. So with a tighter budget, how do you find entertainment? Its time to start thinking outside of the norm.


Costume Characters

Costume characters are an amazing addition to any theme party event, and they are available for a variety of themes. For example, having a Casino theme party? Add Showgirls. Or for a 20's theme party, add Flappers. The possibilities are endless. So if your budget doesn't allow for live entertainment, consider costume characters as an addition to your party.


Party Starters/Crowd Motivators

Party Starters and Crowd Motivators have the same meaning, but people usually use one of the two phrases to describe them. These are dancers that maintain the energy of your dance party. They will sometimes lead line dances. Think Electric Slide and Cupid Shuffle. However, they can lead country line dances if you'd like as well. They also encourage the guests to dance. While we'd like to think that party guests don't need any assistance having fun, we all know that sometimes they actually do need a little motivation.


DJ

With a great DJ, you might not need much else. And a DJ that understands your guests will know what types of music are more likely to get them on the dance floor, and keep them there. Another great idea is to combine a DJ with Party Starters, and you can usually do this while staying well within your budget.


Hopefully you're all set to have a party without breaking the bank. Be sure to visit Stella Entertainment for more ideas on entertainment for your party or event.
