how to plan a party: entertainment

Again, as with all other decisions, consider your answers from STEP ONE.

Games
-Purchased board games
-Make games (use the internet to find ideas)
-Rent games (like carnival games from party rental company)

Music
-Use a CD player or Ipod, maybe even make your own CD or playlist
-Hire live music (can be less expensive than you think)
--Small party – acoustic like guitar, piano, harp, etc.
--Large party – band or string quartet

Comedy
Hire someone to do a “spoof” on a guest(s) – doesn’t work well with large crowds unless you have good sound equipment

Mingling
Talking and meeting people is always a must and FREE!

Guest
Santa, clown, etc.

Movie
Watch one
Make your own using video camera

Arts and Crafts
Set up a table or area with small canvases, paints and paint brushes for guests to create their own original artwork.
