How Do You Throw A Tacky Party?

Tacky Parties are fun...and oh so easy! Here is a list of ideas to get you started! You'll want to send out some very tacky invitations to set the mood.

Pick up any invitations you wish, just make sure they don't match the purpose of the event. If it is a birthday party, pick up baby shower invitations and cross out the details. Make sure you add some stains, creases, and a few mistakes!

Decorating...this is the really fun part! Here are some ideas: * Make table cloths made out of newspaper that has been duct-taped together * Plastic flowers, if you can find them. Otherwise...dead flowers * String a clothes line across the room (make sure it has some great laundry on it too - underwear, dirty socks, you get the idea...) * Use out of season holiday decorations * Have some "inappropriate" things out in your party room like fly swatters, toilet plungers, etc. * Use beer can pyramids as centerpieces (make sure it is really bad beer too...) Refreshments are easy at a Tacky Party.

The point of a tacky theme party is to be as tasteless as you dare and have a great time. Tacky parties are fun because they are so worry-free. Because you are trying to be deliberately tasteless, there aren't too many things that can go wrong.

Start planning a few weeks in advance so that you can hit the thrift shops for items you don't already have. Send out tacky invitations. Spend as little money on these as you can.

Make them from artwork clipped from old greeting cards and printer paper that has been used on one side. Paste a greeting card picture onto the clean side of a piece of paper. Write the party invitation on the paper in pink ink pen.

Request an RSVP and also write a note at the bottom requesting gifts for the host (you). Make it even more tasteless by specifying that cash is preferred. Make a CD with the most tasteless music you can download.

Stick with one genre if you prefer, but crossing over is even tackier. You may have your own cheesy favorites. But if you don't, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
