BUT what if you are not crazy about this idea? Fear not — a backup plan awaits…
1990s Party
The Nineties were a way fun time when we watched Northern Exposure and Twin Peaks on broadcast TV.
Music? Grunge, baby, and we listed to it on CD. Remember CDs??
Long, goofy shoulder length hair, sandals, Clinton fighting impeachment, it was a wild moment for us all. We all wore a LOT of flannel.
You need to play Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Madonna, McCartney, Spice Girls, Hanson, and Mariah Carey.
2000s Party
Do you have a younger guest list?? Well, maybe try a more RECENT decade – the 2000s.
Clothing can be cargo shorts, camoflague fatigues, cowboy shirts, ringer tees, bootcut jeans. Clunky old flip-cellphones and early iPods… You get the idea, right?
Music has to include rap, SO let’s get some cuts by 50 Cent, Missy Elliot, Eminem and Justin Timberlake. Also rock by Blink-182, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy should work.
Still looking for concepts for that party??
Maybe cater your next party with two or more local food trucks.
Don’t cringe yet — food trucks have really evolved in recent years. Lots of interesting edibles are now out there, available on wheels for your event. For our area of Dayton, Ohio you could start by checking out these Food Truck guys.
You may be able to negotiate a better price if the exposure for the food truck can result in repeat business.
MORE Ideas?? Okay, one more:
Company party? Maybe try a potluck lunch at work.
Your crew may well enjoy showing off their culinary skills. Post a sign-up list online or in the break room, so employees bring some interesting and varied items to share. Way casual and usually a lot of fun, a potluck lunch is a festive occasion.
I hope some of these ideas work for YOUR event. Enjoy!
