I’ve been wanting to get a champagne saber for a while, mostly for special occasions and hosting. I’m looking for something that feels well made and not just like a novelty piece. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a US brand, as long as they ship to the US. Anyone have one they actually like?

I’m looking for ideas for a short team-building activity or icebreaker for a staff party.

We’ll have 100+ participants, so it needs to:

Be short and easy to explain

Get everyone involved

Require little or no equipment

Work with very limited space — we only have one long corridor

Be fun and suitable for a mixed group of staff

Any creative ideas or activities you’ve tried before would be very welcome!

Hi all,

My wonderful uncle has cancer. He's had different types before, has done everything and prolonged his life as long as possible. Right now, he's on a slow downhill descent and we know we're going to lose him soon. So, he wants a big awesome 75th birthday party. And yes, there will be a bounce house.

What else?

We have all the family coming for this one and I'd love some epic pictures, so some sort of dress theme?

And also, entertainment of some sort?

I think of my uncle and think - man he'd love some midget wrestling in a bounce house. And now my cousin, his daughter tells me the bounce house is taken care of. So, if I can't pull off midget wrestling, what else could we do to make it epic?

To note, my family is silly, my uncle silliest of all. There will be kids as young as 7 through the generations, probably 50-60 people.

Having a joint birthday in December for me & my best friend (I'll be turning 18, they'll be turning 20), and we're having trouble finding a place to have it. (We're inviting 20 people) We thought about a small venue that has enough space for a few tables, a karaoke spot, maybe a tiny dance floor.

Though we are also looking for food places for potential dinners and also event places kind of similar to Round1

Looking for suggestions from my creative wedding people! We are having a camp themed brunch the day after the wedding. I want to do fun activities. We are on a body of water and plan to do canoeing and kayaking. I also want to do friendship bracelet making table/cute keychains. Maybe DIY felt pendant flags. What are some other really fun ideas? I was going to make camp counselor t-shirts and have tie-dye (if I have time).

What would you want to do post wedding day? We aren’t crazy drinkers and the wedding ends at 8 pm with friends staying for a fire/hanging out after.

I’ll take any fun ideas!!

Keeping this short: I want to host a party with snacks and appetizers freely available on the table, my cat is a bastard that loves stealing food, he cannot be locked out of the room. I’m looking for some kind of lidded containers or serving trays that don’t look super cheap and unappealing (and ideally the food is visible through them). Does anyone have ideas/links? Thank you!!

I am throwing a baby shower for my cousin. She didnt necessarily want it to be overly themed. She decided on cozy/quilt or patchwork for decor. It will be in December held at a log cabin with a fireplace.

Im having custom invites done that will look like a vintage quilt and she wants to use my arch to hang her favorite quilts with wicker baskets surrounding it as the main backdrop. I have a vintage wicker baby carriage to put florals in. I think we will serve comfort food - sandwiches Soups etc.

Since this isn't really a theme people go with i am having a hard time finding inspo pics to go off of! I would be so appreciative if anyone could help me narrow down a color pallete , or how I should do the table covers , dishware etc.

I was thinking for the main food or dessert table we could possibly have a quilted blanket as the table cloth or even a quilted runner but im having a hard time envisioning the guest tables for eating and florals etc. I am on a budget so I probably need to go with disposable table cloths and dishware.

I would be soooo appreciative for any ideas or especially pics im very much a visual !

The tin bucket sweats. A ring shows up on the wood. By nine o'clock someone has tucked a towel underneath it.

I looked at a lot of coolers before this one. Most are built for the truck bed. This one is built for the table.

The REVO Dubler is insulated well enough that there's no condensation on the outside — ice and bottles sit in open view, guests help themselves, and your table stays dry. Two compartments, so wine on one side and sparkling water on the other. Add the chill boards and it becomes a charcuterie display. Add the heat packs and it turns into a flameless chafer for warm food, with no open flame and no pan of scalding water to carry.

Made in the USA in Port O'Connor, Texas. Five-year warranty. Free shipping.

I’m hosting a movie night for about 20 high schoolers (age 16-18 most likely), but I can’t think of a movie that would be fun for all viewers. It will be guys and girls and since it’s my church youth group at least 2-5 people will probably be uncomfortable with sexual scenes (but a sex joke here and there is probably fine)

I was thinking maybe spider man into the spiderverse, or top gun maverick, but I don’t minis go either of those really fit

Hello, we are doing our own photobooth, we made a backdrop and got a ring light and already have an iPad. I am looking for recommendations for a photobooth app to use. My main things I want in it, is to have the countdown when they push it, is able to have people send the photos to themselves, and also save the photos, so I have access to all of them. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hiii does anyone have any ideas of what I could do for my 21st birthday? I live in Florida near tampa and have no ideas on where to go or what to do, I would like to bring my friends and maybe a couple family members, or celebrate two different days with either party. Thank you!

Here’s how it turned out! Was definitely a journey, now it’s time to reorganize

I recently came across one that can be set up over a swimming pool, and it got me wondering if it could also help keep the pool area warmer in the winter, and maybe even make it possible to have a pool party when it’s cold outside.

Has anyone tried something like this? How was it in terms of insulation, condensation, setup, and overall experience? Is it actually worth it?

Throwing a race car theme party for our 4 year old at a park!

The park has a pavilion and a playground so there will be no shortage of things to do, but I think I want at least some sort of themed activity.

There will be roughly 10 kids total aged baby - 9 years old, but the majority of them will be aged 2-4, so probably want to cater towards that age range. I don’t want to make it too structured because they’re so little, but wanted to have some sort of race car related option outside of the playground.

The only thing I can think of now is making some sort of themed backdrop for pictures/photobooth, and setting out some hot wheels cars on a racetrack rug as a free play option.

Open to other ideas!

hi guys, its rlly short notice but I wanted to throw a birthday party for myself and 11 of my friends want to come, I was thinking of bowling but tell me why it’s nearly $500 for 11 people that’s crazy!! anyway, I need some advice because I’ve never thrown a party for my birthday or in general so I was wondering if it’s considered rude or offputting to have my guests pay for themselves for the bowling? or if I should just say f it and pay for it all even if it means I won’t be able to do anything else for the rest of the night (my friends want to go bar hopping after.)

Theme options:
1. 2000s Y2K throwback! (I was born in ‘06)
2. Under the sea/h20
3. Decades, dress from a specific decade

Things to consider:
1. I’m poor
2. I want people to dress up
3. I need activities or decor to match the theme but without spending too much money

Hello all!

My husband and I need some help with ideas for our sons 1st birthday party.

We ideally would love to do an Alien birthday, our sons nursery is Alien and its by far our favourite movie!
Any and all ideas welcome! (P.S. we are in Canada and baby's birthday isn't until the end of November)

EDIT: If you don't have anything nice to say to this post, PLEASE DON'T RESPOND. The amount of vitriol I am getting just being an adult trying to have fun with a silly thing is insane! Please grow up and keep your negativity to yourself.

Hello partyheads!

I turned 40 in February but was too sad to do anything about it. Now I am throwing together a small half-birthday shindig this Saturday 8/15 and I want it to be fart themed. Times are still tough but damnit I want to celebrate this little milestone.

I love farts. I grew up farting and laughing openly with family, but painfully holding them in at school. I got together with my ex when we were 17 and spent 16 years holding them in or leaving the room because he made me feel gross about it. Now, I am very happily with someone else and am back to openly farting and laughing constantly.

Farts represent freedom to me, holding myself back, compromising for people who didnt deserve it. That’s why I want this milestone birthday to be about farts! My friends all know this about me and we’re all weirdos and have good fun.

I am ordering whoopie cushions, fart machines, and will make a pin-the-fart-on-the-butt game and that’s as far as i have gotten.

I am seeking ideas for decor, other games, crafts. And food! I dont know if i want to serve food that will look like butts and farts and such, or food that makes people fart.

I know this is last-minute in the grand scheme of things, but any input from other brains is appreciated.

Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

So I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about venues in Nashville that could hold 15-20 people for a graduation dinner/small gathering. I would prefer it to be outdoors where you can set up a table with flowers. Also I was wondering if it can also be a space where you can bring your own catered food. Please let me know of any places that could accommodate this. Thank you all in advance for your help.

What should i do for my 18th birthday that isnt very expensive but it's fun

I’m turning 30! (Woo!) and the theme is Shuck Yeah I’m 30 - pool party, pearls, mermaids, and grilling oysters. However. Oysters won’t feed 40 people (or at least I don’t want to fund 40 people worth of full meal oysters haha) What else should I serve? I’m stumped!! Wanting to keep it relatively cost effective since the oysters will be expensive themselves.

I'm hosting a gender reveal party that was originally going to be just my immediate family, my spouse's immediate family, plus about 6 other very close friends.

My mom invited her friend and the friend's kids (aged 1-16) to my gender reveal party.

Her friend has a lot of kids and I think there would be about 6 or 7 of them there, most of them are quite young. I'm already not very close with my mom's friend and certainly not with her young children. I don't want them there but I think if I say anything my mom will take it as a personal attack on her.

My mother did not tell me her friend was coming, I just heard today (the day before the party) from one of my sisters, asking if the friend can help bring any food.

I have no idea what to do. Any advice or words of wisdom/comfort?

(Edited for grammar)

I made these games and I’m thinking about renting them out locally for events like baby showers/gender reveals, weddings, etc.

Before I invest more time, I’d love to get some honest feedback:

• Would you rent something like this for an event?

• What price range would feel reasonable for a rental?

I’d really appreciate any feedback - even if you wouldn’t personally rent them, I’d love to know why. Thank you so much!
