"The best party is one with a theme,"

If you've ever been to a few theme parties then you'll agree from experience. Personally I have yet be proven wrong! Here's a short list on how to prepare for some of the most common costume parties. Be sure to accessorize with some "glowing" additions that will really make you shine!

Toga Party: Ok, this one really isn't that difficult. You need a sheet, you wrap it around, and then you tie it. Done. But what else? Have a few fun Olympic-style games to give your guests something to enjoy. As for setting the mood with decorations, use white and gold decorations, columns, sheer white fabric draped over tables and the ceiling. Candles are a definite must for a toga party, but traditional candles could make your party too warm, and they are also a fire hazard. Using LED candles will put your mind at ease, and let you relax and enjoy the festivities!

Halloween Party: Halloween parties are always a good time, but this year try ramping up the fun by including flashing drinking glasses, devil horns, and glowing pumpkin head bands. Fun additions to your outfit could be a glowing light sabre, flashing wands, and finger lights. The dim light from glow sticks are perfect for a creepy Halloween get-together.

Girls Night In: Girls love to party together, laugh, talk, and drink something classy. So this time around, why not add some dazzle to a girls night in with flashing champagne, margarita, and martini glasses? Adding some flashing pins for everyone will definitely get the party started!

Disco: Can you imagine a Disco Party without flashing body lights? Everyone will love the body lights, and the glow necklaces and bracelets will certainly light up the dance floor for someone to do their best John Travolta impression. Tight pants are an absolute must!

Ideas for the "Big Game": The next time your house is crowded with loud sports fans, make sure you have flashing beer mugs. When it's the period or half time, run outside and divide into teams based on glow-necklace color, and play a quick game as a tribute! Delicious snacks, a comfy couch, great friends and family, and some fun novelty items will make your celebration memorable…even if your team doesn't win!

Kids need parties too: Play games outside where they can race around in the dark with glow sticks! Relay races, tag, soccer, and Frisbee will be made unique simply by illuminating the players. Of course, play safe if you're doing this in the dark, adequate lighting is always a necessity to prevent undue injuries.

New Years: Get decked out with some glowing glasses and accessories, and be prepared to ring in the new year in a crazy way!

St. Pattie's Day: All you need is to be decked out in your finest green with a flashing shamrock necklace. Indulge in a green drink out of a blinking mug, and celebrate this Irish holiday with flair!

That's just a run down for some days and themes you can piggy back on for your next party. Don't forget BBQ's and Fourth of July parties are never complete with all your favorite flag pins and glow necklaces......(even in red white and blue).
