Anniversary Party Idea

Are you tired of the same old anniversary party idea?

How about giving the special couple a vacation, right from your home? Too often couples don't treat themselves to a vacation or time away.

One way to give couples a special treat is to celebrate an anniversary with a vacation party. Use a tropical paradise or cruise as your inspiration, and you're on your way to a getaway party.

If the party is held during the summer, take it outdoors. (If you have or know someone with a swimming pool or hot tub, even better!) Enjoy the warm weather and spice up your patio or backyard to match the occasion. If the party is held during the colder months, you can create an indoor paradise with a few simple decorations.

Find some posters of island getaways to hang on the walls or blow up some pictures from travel brochures. To really heat things up, consider using a heat lamp in one corner of the room and place the couple underneath in some lounge chairs. Provide them with some sunglasses and play some wave music or use a sound machine to create the ambiance. Some Beach Boys or luau music will also help.

Decorate the room with beach balls and bring any plants you have into the room. You can also create a tropical feel by making some palm trees out of large cardstock paper. A few large leaves will go a long way!

See the tropical party kit for all the needed supplies and decorations.

Serve refreshments of tropical foods such as chilled shrimp, baked fish, fruit, and light appetizers. Coconut cream pie or banana splits make a great dessert. Serve a variety of tropical drinks, complete with mini umbrellas.

Invite guests to dress appropriately in their favorite Hawaiian style shirts, shorts, sunglasses, and sandals. Provide the guests of honor with any accessories they may need. Pamper the special couple throughout the party, letting them relax and enjoy the time "away" with friends and family.
