Get Ready to Party with The Party Experts

Get ready to party....

Would you like to beat the recession blues and host a party everyone will love - without blowing your budget? Here's how...

Parties are supposed to be fun, but when you're the host it can be more of a headache than a joy. Cost aside, it can be just one more thing to sort out in your already over-committed life.

Wouldn't it be great to have everything you need - ideas, information, instructions - at your finger tips?

Brisbane-based company The Party Experts have put it all together for you. Their party planning eBooks are full of insider tips that will make planning your next party so much easier.

"So many of us feel under pressure when it comes to parties, thinking we have to host an expensive, over-the-top affair to keep up. And that's especially true if you're a parent," said The Party Expert's founder, Kristy Karu.

"But we're all busy, and with the recession biting, many of us need to keep to a budget. That's why we've launched our eBook set. We've done the trial and error, so you just need to get ready to party."

The Party Experts have all the tips you need to make your party a success - from the right location, decorations and food, to guest list know-how, games and activities, easy costumes, and even music suggestions.

For example, The Party Experts have got that 'bit of a pirate' in all of us covered. As well as all their great ideas, they've even added comprehensive 'talk like a pirate' instructions to get everyone in the mood (and it will come in useful at the office on International Talk Like a Pirate day too!).

The Theme Party eBook set is full of practical and creative tips, like these:

· Location, location - have the party at home, a family or friend's place, or somewhere free and open, like a park

· Add pizzazz with unique invitations. For a pirate theme, you can create fabulous 'weathered' paper invitations. All you need is paper, matches, string... and cold coffee.

· Decorate the party room/area with inexpensive but effective decorations. Get the kids involved in making decorations, or search your house - you'll often find everything you need at home

· Dress for success - everyone loves a theme party (The Party Experts have 14 theme party eBooks in the set). For example, put a new twist on an old theme and dress as a parrot with a pirate on your shoulder (instructions included!). Or create a great pirate look with headscarves, cut-off frayed jeans, swords and eye-patches. Add some fake tattoos and scars to finish your look

· Stay sane. It's tempting to invite everyone you or your child knows, but keep the number of guests down. And keep the length of the party to two hours. Not only will you have to organise fewer games - and prizes - but everyone will leave in an 'up-mood', rather than over tired and grumpy

· Adopt the KISS philosophy with food - and Keep It Simple for Success. Think 'snack' not 'dinner', especially for kids, who are too busy having fun to eat very much

· Go retro with games and activities. Remember Musical Chairs or statues, Simon Says, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and Duck-Duck-Goose? The most popular party games are free - and loads of fun for kids and the young-at-heart

· Get involved. Now that you don't need to spend the whole party in the kitchen whipping up party-food-wonders, you'll have time to be 'the entertainer'. Enlist the help of family or friends, and get into the games, face-painting, clowning and dancing...

· Get smart and get together - split the cost and the organising by combining the party with another child who has a birthday in the same month.
