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.
