Dazzle your friends and family by throwing a theme party that's out of the ordinary and nonstop fun.

And you'll get step-by-step instructions for twelve wacky, wild, and incomparable theme parties, including The Speakeasy ... a night filled with costumed guys and dolls, G-men and gangsters, "homemade hooch," jive talk, big band music, and a down and dirty Charleston conga line; Wagons Ho ... a Western theme party with "Wanted" poster invitations, buckets of ribs, and a variation of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey that could make a buckaroo blush; and Oscar Night ... this guaranteed success for any host starts off with a pizza dinner and then gets down to business: "tip sheets" and ballots, a fierce competition, and follow-up party with a "secret" movie screening.Plus you'll find out how to put a new twist on old favorites, including the traditional birthday party, Las Vegas Night, and Mardi Gras; order unusual, crowd-pleasing props, decorations, and prizes; obtain irresistible party music for each theme ... and more!
