Themed Parties

I was invited to a toga party one of the weekends during the Olympics here in Vancouver.

As much as I want to expereince the Olympics in my own city, it's being discouraged... the city would much rather we locals stay home and let the streets be filled with tourists who are paying top dollar to stay in hotels, eat in restaurants and help pay for the absurdly over-budgeted Olympics...

Anyways, I will gladly avoid downtown and go to this house party... Themed parties are what I do best... planning them, attending them, helping people prepare for them... it's one of my most fave things to do.

In the past I hosted a Toga Party.... we had colden columns/pillars, gold balloons, an arch, golden grapes and statues, gold spirals from the cieling, white sheets over all the furniture, white lights, extra sheets for people who arrived sans toga and a photo station so we could all remember the event.






In fact, I have done so many themed parties (attended, planned, helped prepare) I think I will share a few ideas and photos with you....

For my 28th birthday, I co-ordinated with 2 friends who also had their birthday the same week and we did a Giant "90's" themed party....



Before NKOTB / Lady Gaga was an "80's" Themed Party




Im fact, I have done more 80s Themed Nights than I can count.... I Love the 80s....

My 25th was a costume party (My birthday *IS* in October, so it was fitting, like a Halloween / Bday Party)



I've attended my fair share of "tiki" themed parties....

There are more I am missing photos for such as 1950s themed party, Princess Party, Black Light Party, Twilight Party, Dead Celebs Party, Ugly Sweater Party, Retirement Party, the list is long...

There have been so many more parties... I've come to the conclusion that I should plan parties for a living.... I mean I already do event planning as a side job, but if I could do it full time, how fun would that be?
