It’s Easter time again, and what easier way to showcase your egg cooking skills, then by whipping up some good old fashioned deviled eggs? Deviled eggs are a crowd favorite, no matter how you make them! Here, we will discover some new twists on an old classic, as well as find new ways to display […]
“Let it gooooo, let it gooooooooooo!” you sing loudly, in unison with your children for the 95,843,265 time hoping that maybe, just maybe, this will be your last chorus; but alas, it is not. Kids don’t care that they’ve seen this movie a gazillion times, they don’t care that it’s played out, and they won’t care if it’s 105 degrees outside, no. They still love their Frozen, and what could be a more perfect theme for a child’s birthday than this one?
Heroes in History Costume Ideas for Halloween If you want to look great this Halloween then you certainly need to think about what type of outfit you are going to wear. That is why we have compiled this guide so you can get some solid ideas, while also making sure that your idea is completely […]
Bless the Nest is a baby shower theme that is both elegant and creative. This theme can be used for any gender, and works very well in an outside setting. Bless the Nest is a great idea for a fall baby shower, but can be used year round. The tone of the theme incorporates a vintage woodland setting and uses primarily neutral colors.
If possible, wooden tables and chairs should be used to really accent the theme and tie it all together. Tables should be decorated in long white table runners so that the wood on each side is exposed. Use light yellow, pink, white, and even peach flowers for centerpieces. On the “Intimate Table”, intended for the expectant mother’s closest friends and family, the settings should include two identical floral arrangements. You can use a traditional clear vase, or add some flair by putting short stemmed flowers into mason jars.
Desserts for this theme are super easy and creative! All you need is vanilla cupcakes topped with white icing for the edible part. The place setting is a large clear plate, topped with a round white plate and antique spoon. You should be able to easily find the spoons at any antique store—and while you’re there, look for a birdcage to go with the idea below! The cupcake will sit atop a “nest” made out of cardboard strips, that you should be able to find at your local hobby store, inside of a clear dessert cup. Print nametags for your guests and place them on the plates for added cuteness!
Bird shaped cookies are another dessert necessity! You can make them yourself easily or have a local bakery perform the task! The perfect serving dish for these would of course be as pictures, but any matching bowl will work just fine. Different sized cookies and different colored icing are ideal!
For the main table, two clear jars have been used to go on either side of the square white fondant icing cake! Stuff the jars with the same cardboard “nesting” material used for the cupcakes, and place cracked egg shells and a few of the bird cookies inside. The cake is displayed on top of a square clear glass serving dish with the nesting underneath. A nest-like wreath is used for the bottom tier.
Also for the main table, bird cages decorated with moss, nesting, and flowers, is the perfect complement to your theme. Punch bowls should also match the theme, and a light colored juice should be used.
You can add more decorations, like the bird seed bags shown below, but remember–keep it simple and classic!
What a beautiful and timeless idea!
Bless the Nest, is an idea from Katelyn Meekel of Events by Kate.

It’s Summer time, and you know what that means: party time! A luau is one of the best kind of parties you can throw–whether it be a small inside get together or an extravagant poolside bash! The luau theme works perfect for not only adults, but children too! No matter what the occasion is, The Party Place, located in Fort Smith and Rogers Arkansas, has a wide variety of luau accessories to help you plan out the perfect party for great prices!
Here’s a list of the essential decor of any great luau party, which you can find at The Party Place:
Now that we’ve covered the must have decorations, let’s get to the rest of the party!
Any good luau has to have great food, fun games, perfect music, and of course the perfect drinks! The Party Place has complied a list below of some of our favorite luau food ideas, games, music, and drink recipes that can be used for both children and adults!
Luau Food Ideas:
Absolutely Amazing Mahi (allrecipes.com)
Directions – In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, sesame oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer – the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.
Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.
Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette (allrecipes.com)
Directions – Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain, crumble, and set aside. Combine pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, oil, pepper and salt in a lidded jar or cruet. Cover and shake well. Toss lettuce, pineapple, macadamia nuts, green onions and bacon together in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with toasted coconut.
Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs (allrecipes.com)
Directions – In a shallow glass dish, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Stir the chicken pieces and pineapple into the marinade until well coated. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken and pineapple alternately onto skewers. Grill 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until chicken juices run clear.
Luau Drink Ideas:
The Perfect Mai Tai – For Adults (allrecipes.com)
Directions – In a large jar or drink cooler, combine the light rum, dark rum, 151 rum, orange liqueur, almond syrup, simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir and top off with orange juice. Do not use grenadine if you want the true Mai Tai! Serve in 8 to 12 ounce glasses with ice.

Luau Music List:
Luau Game Ideas:
PASS THE COCONUT
Like the popular game of “hot potato,” but using a coconut, have everyone sit in a circle. Play Hawaiian music or strum an ukulele while participants pass a coconut around. Stop the music and whoever is holding the coconut is “out.” Continue until there is one person left.
ʻULU MAIKA
Similar to lawn bowling, ʻulu maika is a traditional ancient Hawaiian game that requires concentration and coordination. Place two wooden or metal stakes in the ground, 6 inches apart and about 15 feet away from where the players are standing. The goal is to roll your stone smoothly between the two stakes.
KONANE
The Hawaiian version of checkers, Konane requires two players to play. Using a wooden board (or cardboard) with 64 impressions, fill each impression with alternating black and white stones. Opponents take turns jumping over each otherʼs pieces – up, down, left or right – and removing them from the board. The person with the last jump is the winner.
HULA HOOP ʻTIL YOU DROP
Line everyone up and see who can go the longest or do the most hoops in a timed contest. For an even more challenging competition, double or triple up hula-hoops on the final two participants.
HAWAIIAN PICTIONARY
Make a list of Hawaiian places or things and write each one down on a sheet of paper, then mix them in a hat or bag. Each team assigns an artist who pulls a sheet out and draws clues for their team members to guess. They have two minutes to guess correctly or the opposing team has a chance to steal. Play up to 10 points.
HAWAIIAN LIMBO
How low can your guests go? Using a broom or any long stick, have two people on opposite ends hold the stick up at various heights, starting from high and ending with low. Play your favorite Hawaiian music while participants try their luck at this back-bending classic.
No matter how big your party is or what season, you can’t go wrong with a luau. Use these ideas or search for your own to make you luau unforgettable! The Party Place has everything you need to create the perfect luau get together, and leave your guests waiting for the next one!

Take little plastic baby dolls and put them in an ice tray. Then fill with water and freeze.
Hand each guest a baby ice cube to put in their drink. The first one to have their ice melt wins!
#2 – Guess Who the Baby Is
Have each guest bring a picture of them when they were a baby. Set up each photo with a number, and pass each guest a sheet of paper. The person who guesses the most pictures right is your winner!
#3 – Name That Poo
This game is a classic! Put different melted chocolate candy bars into each diaper. Then, have your guests try to guess which candy bar is which! The person who gets the most correct wins!
#4 – Diaper Messages
This is not really a game, but more of a sweet memory for the expectant mother to have! Hand out markers and newborn diapers to each guest. Have them write a sweet message on the diapers! That way, when the new mommy or daddy are having to change their first “poo diaper”, they can be reminded of something special! How cute is that?
#5 – Advice Book
This was an idea we got from Martha Stewart. While this isn’t a “winner” game, it’s still a fun activity for your guests, and a great memory for the future mom to have! Give each guest paper and pen, and have them write special messages of advice for the new mother. When they finish, place them in the book!
The book is easy to make! Just get an empty scrap book, and glue multi-colored envelopes to each page! Maybe this could even be the starting of the new mother’s scrap book for baby!
Party Place has games you can buy too! Check out selection in store! You can also click here to see the other things we have for you to create the perfect baby shower!
