Whether you are planning a birthday party or a graduation bash, there are many ways that you can bring your event to the next level. Here are some ways that you will be able to organize a party that your guests will rave about for years to come. 

Pick a Unique Theme

Every good party revolves around a theme. A coordinated theme will automatically provide you with a color scheme that you can work with, and can be a great way to plan many other elements, such as food and appetizers, cocktails, and party games and activities. Your guests are also much more likely to have a good time if you pick a theme that everyone will love.

Hire an Event Planner

If you want to have the party of your dreams, and you have a budget that permits it, you can benefit immensely from employing the services of a party planning company or consultant. Depending on what you need, you should look to see if there are party planning companies in your area. If you live in New Jersey, for instance, simply search for "private event planner new jersey." You can then find the perfect party planner. 

Give Your Guests Amazing Treat Bags

No party is complete without favors that you give your attendees as they are leaving the event. You can either buy treats in bulk and make bags or boxes for your guests, or you can even use the do-it-yourself technique, so you can customize them depending on your party theme. Be sure to include items that will remind guests what a good time they had at your party. 

Planning the perfect event does not have to be stressful. With these tips, you will be sure to have a bash where everyone will have a great time. 

My journey to losing weight is most oftentimes a failure attempt, always have been compromised. The picture says it all (oops, this was after our individual order was consumed, lol) But honestly, I really have to lose so much weight! With me is my hubby and my best friend!

If you’ve got a person on your block who is the first to volunteer if you need a babysitter, home project helper or someone to check on your house while you’re on vacation, recognize her with a thoughtful gift. Although it might not repay her for every kindness she’s shown your family, it will illustrate how much you appreciate her and all she’s done for you over the years.

Furry Friends

If you always have a morning conversation with your neighbor as she’s taking her furry friend for a walk, give her a gift that she can share with her beloved canine companion. Present her with dog gift baskets that include items such as treats, chew toys, biscuits, bones and tennis balls, for instance. Contain everything in a large tin that can double as an outdoor water bowl.

Meal Kits

Even if your neighbor loves to cook, meal kit delivery services can give her a little break on the nights that she’s too busy to grocery shop and devise a menu on her own. Consider a service that provides the ingredients and recipes for one person if she often dines alone or one that offers enough to prepare a main dish and sides for her entire family.

Helping Hands

Create a coupon book filled with offers that your neighbor can redeem when she’s in need of assistance. Volunteer your time to pet sit while her family is on vacation, complete a few hours of yard work or completely clean out her garage, for instance. If she’s helpful to multiple families in the neighborhood, consider gathering vouchers for their time as well.

Dependable neighbors that you can care about, share a laugh with and trust implicitly are a rare commodity. Show the one that you’ve got that you’re thankful for the way she makes your life brighter, safer and easier.

Hello. it's Saturday! It's time again for my Worthy Saturday post and this week I'd like to feature my son's creativity when it comes to Lego blocks. This is one of the best gifts he ever received from her Nanay Cora

I think I got an Engineer on the making, what d'you think?

Happy birthday to this sweet not-so-little girl, Ate Phea!
