Party Tip: Costume party

Have a dress code / theme but ensure the guest of honour stands out by not telling them!

Even if it is not a surprise party, it’s well worth getting together and all dressing up as something and all turn up - Ideally pick a theme from the era the guest grow up in like Smurfs

Reunion Tip: Talent show

Hold a talent show or play theatre sports to break the ice and bond further.

Bring a box of old keepsakes, split in to groups (by age, height, office vs production or family groups) and get each team to pull a keepsake out of the box and tell every one why this keepsake was the best / worst memory for the group.

Some of the ideas you first thought to do at the party / reunion / wedding that didn't make on the final list, can be a back up if something doesn't work out the way you had it on paper.

Don't point out things that don't turn out the way you had planned, nobody knows all the plans but you anyway!

Wedding Tip: You don't have to invite everyone

faqs.org/message-in-a-bottle.html

Invite people who will make the night even more special, you don't have to invite everyone. If there is someone that may cause friction with another person, let them know if they want to come then they need to talk with the other person and agree to put aside their differences for a day.

21st tip: Suprise your doing a speech...

Let close friends and family know if you'd like speeches so they can prepare! Also let them know if you don't want speeches. If the wrong person gets up and thinks they are funny they can make a great night go downhill really fast.
