1 – 200 of 360 Newer› Newest»The best parties that I've thrown have different areas with different activities. During my last party, I had mixers and drink options in the kitchen so people could have fun making up their own cocktails. The dining room had a bunch of board games. Twister and talking was happening in the living room...everyone had a blast...
Oh, and I made cookies. http://savingforhome.blogspot.com/2008/03/saving-divas-no-bake-cookies.html
I would love the cute Under the Sun - Short Sleeve Floral Nightshirt! Too cute!

I love the
Quince Bedding Collection
LOVE the cd idea!! I love all of Karen Neuburger items.....I don't think I could pick just one, so here is my party tip:
A party at my house is not complete without a pitcher (or 2) of Peach Sangria:
White Zin
Peach Schnaap's
Splash of 7-up
Add cut up oranges, strawberries, cherries, etc.
With all of this nice weather, I just may have to think of an excuse to throw a party!!!
I follow....
I have your shop button on my sidebar....
My bed sheets are totally ripped at the top. Completely embarrassing but buying new sheets ($$$) is not at the top of my list these days. I would love the Karen Neuburger cotton sateen sheet set!
I'd love to have a pair of the long Honey & Sage Tucked In pants.
I love the mammography gown. It is stylish and modest.
I follow!!!
My favorite item on KN's website is the Freddie & Flapjack Snugfit Toddler PJ.
Alicia Webster

I like that robe--so pretty!
My favorite item is the Poolside - KN Cool Separates Plaid Bermuda Shorts!
my best tip is to set up a playlist on the computer (music, I mean), then remove the keyboard/mouse so that no one can tamper with the music. There's nothing worse than people stopping a song midway through.
I love the Quince Bedding Collection.
I like Under the Sun - Plaid Short Sleeve Pullover - it looks so comfy!
My favorite is the Under the Sun - Solid Ribbed Jacquard Short Sleeve Nightshirt. Thanks.
I like the Poolside - KN Cool Separates Plaid Crop Pant. Thanks!
I'm a subscriber. Thanks.
we have young kids in our group, so I keep many activities like face painting, bubbles , sidewalk chalk, beach ball handy for the party.
For the fave item:

thanks
We always have a bath of Sangria and Margaritas available at stations away from the bar.
I like the Ballerina - Long Sleeve Sleep Shirt.
I make a Cucumber & Herb Dip recipe that everyone loves:
1 8oz pkg softened cream cheese
1 cup finely shredded cucumber, well-drained
1/2 cup Kraft shredded swiss cheese
1/2 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp minced garlic
mix all ingredients until well blended. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
serve with cracker or fresh veggie dippers.

My best party tip would be for the punch bowl. Instead of using ice, freeze watermelon and strawberry chunks and use those instead. It adds flavor to the punch as they melt and don't water it down!

I love Karen Karen Neuburger Towels the Supima Cottom Bath Towels are Fantastic! Rich, plush bath towels in 12 contemporary colors of 100% Supima® cotton create elegant everyday essentials for your home.
Now my idea for a Party?? Yup, I invite my sister and her family and my friends ask them all to bring their specialties, cause they all make DELISH stuff! Then we make is casusal.. no fussing, who wants to do that in the dog days of summer. We crank up the grill make tons of veggie burgers for the Vegetarians (ME!hahha) burgers, and all kinds of drinks and just keep it easy peasy and FUN, it is all about creating memories and having FUN!
My mott is
LIFE IS A GARDEN, JUST DIG I!

I love the Aqua Gift Boxed Note Cards.
What a wonderful prize these sheets are. Thanks so much for this giveaway.
I think a great party tip is to set aside some planning time to think everything through. How many people will be there? Will your party space "flow"? Do you need more seating? Should you remove a table to make more room? What kind of mood music do you want? What can be made ahead so you aren't stuck in the kitchen? Etc.
Another fun thing is having a new "special" drink for each party. The guests really look forward to it.
I like the Lexington Bedding Collection. Thanks for the chance to win some new sheets!

I am from Michigan too!
I really like this pajama set:

I like the Shawl Collar Double Plush Robe in Light Pink
Love her soxs. and for parties An extra frig downstairs and as much of the food made ahead of time is my way of enjoying a party
I really like the Freddie & Flapjack Snugfit Toddler pajamas. So cute!
When I host a gathering I usually try to have a theme about it even if the guest weren't told. I love to have a chocolate fondue pot going so that people can dip sweets or fruits or even pretzels in. I usually try to have spinach balls premade in the freezer and then I heat them up just before the guest come. I try to make the food --finger food because then there is less time I must spend in the kitchen
For hosting a party, have a small "activity" area where guests have to do something or make a small keepsake...such as a wine charm. That'll get conversation going!

One out of 5 Americans are type1 pr type2 diabetic- so always serve one or two good sugarfree treats so your special diet guests don't feel left out.

For a party this time of the year, hit your local farmer's market and make dishes using fresh veggies and fruits. Cold plates are always great this time of the year! You can make everything ahead of time and refrigerate it until time to serve. I also really like the Hippo Girl's Infant Pajama! Thanks!

WOULD LOVE THESE SHEETS IN QUEEN
I love Karen Neuburger pj's. My tip for a party is instead of place cards or a table cloth put down parchment paper and markers. Write your guests names where you want them to sit. Set out glitter & stickers.

clynsg at yahoo.com
My best party tip is to have a party theme and follow it through from the muscic, food and decorations. and involve all guests in the preperation of the food. everyone loves to be involved!
The Supima Cotton Bath Towels look wonderful!
mrssquigg at comcast dot net
we've had fun parties by doing a little cooking competition with a theme, like chinese or mexican. we have two teams and they each have two hours to make an appetizer, entree and dessert and then we vote on which team had the best of each. it's fun and fast paced and we have great food at the end.
I would love to have the Under the Sun PJ's to snuggle up with in my new sheets!
I love the Scalloped Heart Thank Yous. They would be perfect to include with my orders, well, if I ever get an order!

My tip for hosting a great party is to invite people with enough in common to be fun, but enough differences to be interesting. The same old crowd gets pretty boring after a while.
Also, limit the number of people that you will have to "babysit" during the party (those that won't talk to anyone but you!).
I added your blog button to my sidebar.

I'm a big fan of the crop pant/shirt pj sets. So cozy!

hi_joan_elliott@hotmail.com
Pink Ribbon Tote Bag Kit is my favorite!
The bedding collection is really nice.
A great way to liven up your drinks in the summer is to freeze fruit in your ice cubes. It not only makes it more festives but adds a little flavor when it melts.
Twittered!

My favorite party tip is to really think through the layout ahead of time- drink station, buffet layout, seating... It makes a huge difference if the space is used well.

These is a great game called LCR. It is a dice game. If you roll a L pass a dollar to your left, if you roll a C put a dollar in the center, if you roll an R pass a dollar to your right, if you roll a dot keep your dollar. The last person with the last dollar wins the money in the center.

Shh, don't tell anyone but I work from home and pratically live in her pajamas.
A great horsdeuvre recipe for parties!
Salami Pinwheels
Ingredients:
Ritz Crackers
Cream Cheese
Salami (with or w/out cracked pepper)
Directions:
Take a slice of salami and spread cream cheese on it about 1/4 inch thick. Roll up the slice of salami with cream cheese on it so it looks like a tube. Now cut the 'tube' into slices about 1/3 of an inch thick, or to your preference of thickness. They should look like pinwheels, with the salami and cream cheese swirling around in circles. Place each pinwheel on a Ritz cracker.
Enjoy! :)

I would love the Poolside KN Cool Separates Dot Print Shorts and a matching top. Once the summer comes it's impossible to keep the temps in my apartment under 80, so I need some cool jammies! Thanks for the giveaway. :-)
Let's go with the Supima Cottom Bath Towels.
I'd love to get some of those Supima Bath Towels in white and gray to dry off with after the frequent showers I take on a hot summer day!
Thanks.
P.S. I have some KN pajamas and gave a pair to my mom, too, for a birthday present. We both love them.
My best parties have been where there are several "stations" of food where the guests prepare their own-like a taco bar, or a chili bar or a sundae bar. People talk a lot and mingle better over food it seems.
I like the Toddlers Hippo Girl's Nightgown. Very cute!
