When it comes to parties and celebrations, the sky’s pretty much the limit. Just about anything goes. Whether it’s a half-dozen friends for an evening of poker, charades or a board game, or community event for several thousand, there are things that work well and things that don’t work at all. It all depends: on the venue, on the space, on the budget and a whole lot more. As an entertainer who focuses on children and family entertainment, I get to go to a lot of “home parties”. I also perform at my fair share of birthday parties. In this regard, I have seen a lot of things that work, and frankly, a lot of things that don’t. These articles are intended to provide you, the reader, with timely hints and ideas for hosting your own parties. A lot will be targeted towards children’s birthday parties, while at the same time providing ideas for other seasonal events. Some of the topics will include: seasonal ideas crafts games food and even recipes timely tips From time to time, by way of examples, I’ll tell you about some of the parties I have had the opportunity to work. The title of this article is “The Sky’s The Limit” and many years ago, just when I was starting out some time in the last millenium, I was invited by a fellow magician to watch a show he was doing at a Bar Mitzvah party. This one was held at a high-end banquet facility and hosted in the vicinity of 250 to 300 guests. Here’s what this family included in the evening, and this is just what I can remember! Aside from the multi-course gourmet dinner (I’ve attended many events at this facility and I can attest that their offerings are well above-average), they had a live orchestra (not just a small band), and a DJ for when the orchestra was not playing. They had both a photographer and a videographer. They had the magician. And they had indoor pyro- technics. I also recollect that there was something else specifically for the children. As I said, when it comes to parties, the sky’s the limit.
