Dear friend,

Ready to throw a party that is fun and exciting instead of yet another drab affair where your quests can’t wait to leave?

If so, then this may very well be the most important letter you read today! Here’s why:

I’m about to reveal how you can get your hands on hundreds of party and game ideas that have all been specially selected because they put "the fun back into parties!"

It’s true. If you are ready to have parties that thrill and excite your guests no matter what the occasion, then I urge you to keep reading this letter.

But Before We Go Any Further, Please
Allow Me to Introduce Myself:

Hello, my name is Liza Othman and I’ve always enjoyed throwing a good party. I love to see my friends enjoying themselves and I love to see other people meet and get to know each for the first time.

Unfortunately, over time my parties became rather routine - and my friends, tired of the "same old, same old" started having less and less fun at them. I knew I had to do something so I began desperately searching online and in the local library and bookstore for information on unique party themes and games.

But despite hours and hours of searching, I couldn’t find any good books on this subject. None at all. In fact, I was about to give up hope when I spotted a dusty copy of "The Book of Games and Parties for All Occasions" at the end of the very top shelf of a bookcase in the local library. The book was difficult to see up there and, in fact, I had overlooked it on countless previous visits but I found a small step stool and balancing myself precariously I was able to stretch and reach it.

Believe Me, the Effort Was Worth It!

This book was jam-packed with truckloads of unique and exciting party and game ideas – all drawn from the popular pages of the Ladies Home Journal!

From just reading the first few pages, I already had more party and game ideas than I had had on my own during the previous year!

This big book of party games actually has ideal games for every month of the year and all the big holidays! There are exciting ideas ranging from the intellectual to the rowdy. The book tells you how to design parties around such themes as music, sports, culture, romance, food, a holiday, and much, much more. Plus, there are a wide variety of games described on its pages – everything from memory games to word games to drawing games to knowledge games to trivia games and much more!

Here Are Just a Few of the Many Party Theme
Ideas Contained in "The Book of Games
and Parties for All Occasions":

A Laugh-Awhile Party
For an informal program an "Irish Minstrel Show" is a novelty. When the curtain is raised for the opening welcome chorus the participants make a pretty scene in the setting of green and white decorations of crepe-paper festoons with plenty of shamrocks. The men wear green crepe-paper hats and ties, while the girls dress in Irish peasant costumes of green bunting with bodices laced over white. There must be an interlocutor and two end men, while a dozen girls, more or less, may take part. Between witticisms, monologues and jokes, Irish songs should be sung, such as "Mother Machree," "A Little Bit of Heaven," "Where the River Shannon Flows," "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" and "Old Erin, the Shamrock, and You." The last named may be sung by eight girls who hold shamrocks on one side of which are the letters of the word "Shamrock." As this is spelled in the chorus, these are swung into view.

The Orchard Fete
I cannot imagine anything that would give more real pleasure to an unspoiled city dweller than to enjoy a feast of fruits served from dainty tables under fruit trees in an orchard. Can't you see the sunset and hear the birds? And then, as the dusk falls, the pretty lanterns are lighted and there are music and laughter. Indeed it would be nice to plan a cafeteria supper and make the festival, with whatever fruit is used, sufficiently worth while for a family to come for supper and pass a little while in social entertainment afterward.

For instance, we could have something like this:

  • Fruit Cup
  • Fruit Soup
  • Fruit wafers
  • Fruit Salad
  • Fruit Cake
  • Fruit Ice
  • Fruit Roly-Poly
  • Fruit Punches
  • Clear Fruit Candies
Each course could be at a different place — one could buy one or all as desired. All these good things are made and used every day. Why not specialize on them at the fruit festival?

Now, for instance, to add a little variety, varying the idea given below in " Baskets of Gold," why not take a meringue glace shell, lay it on a prettily decorated small plate, with a little white lace-paper doily underneath, and fill the case with the very largest and prettiest berries you have? On top place a lot of well-sweetened, stiffly whipped cream, and you have something pretty to look at and good to eat.

Serve with this dainty wafers. And why hasn't strawberry shortcake a place at the festival? Either the genuine shortcake, with the berries crushed and served hot in their syrup, sweetened, or the long-way-from-shortcake variety, which is really sponge cake with just raw berries between and meringue on top.

A "Pedestrian Dinner"
A "Pedestrian Dinner" is a novel plan to follow when a little circle of friends desire to divide the task of a dinner of several courses between them, or it would enable different members of a family to be Christmas or New Year's hostesses. The "progressive age menu" is a new idea for a dinner of this kind and the following courses are appropriate:

  • Babyhood - Bread and Milk (Cream Soup, With Croutons).
  • Childhood - Our First Heroine (Old Mother Goose, With Accessories).
  • Youth - Tender Memories (Salad Days).
  • Wedded Life - The Bride's Bogy Cake Like Mother Used to Make.
  • Middle Age - Joys of Life's Autumn (Fruits and Nuts).
  • Old Age - Solace of Declining Years (Old-Fashioned Mints, Candied Ginger, Coffee).

The invitations may be sent on post cards illustrated by a couple walking, and the following rime would be appropriate:

At dinner you're a welcome guest,
If you're a clever talker;
But at this dinner you'll do best,
If you're a right good walker.

Below should be written the date, hours and addresses of the hostesses who will serve the courses. The table decorations should, of course, correspond with the various courses.

The "Babyhood" table should be covered with pale blue crepe paper, over which is laid a narrower strip of pink paper. A baby doll seated in a high chair would be appropriate as a centerpiece, and the soup should be served in blue bowls, the hostess providing if possible "baby spoons." If enough high chairs can be borrowed for the occasion they will add to the amusement. For the "Childhood" table a pretty centerpiece can be arranged by dressing dolls to represent Mother Goose characters, and posing them on a circle of moss to represent a playground.

The hostess who serves the "Youth" course could decorate her table in green and white, using maidenhair ferns and roses, while a fruit centerpiece would be in keeping with the "Middle-Age" course. The "Old-Age" table could be prettily decorated in lavender and lighted by white, unshaded candles in glass candlesticks. Of course partners should be changed for each course, and at the first home the hostess could stretch a curtain across a room, stationing the girls behind it so that only their feet would be visible. She could then recite:

Now choose with care, for you need tonight
More than the coy and sweet;
For a partner that will walk with ease,
Choose only with sturdy feet.

Other ways of selecting partners, such as matching quotations about eating, choosing boutonnieres of different flowers, etc., could be used.

And Here Are Just a Few of the Many Games
Ideas This Wonderful eBook Contains:

Current Events Contest
A "Current Events Contest" will prove very entertaining at the beginning of the evening. Cut from magazines and daily papers cartoons illustrative of events which have taken place during the last year. These should be numbered and pinned up in conspicuous places, minus, of course, their titles. By the corresponding numbers on cards distributed to the guests can be written the answer or description of the pictured happening. A good prize to reward the successful contestant would be a picture.

Holiday Silhouette Contest
Each contestant is given a small sheet of white cardboard (about seven by ten inches) and a larger sheet of dark-colored paper - black, green, blue or red - scissors and paste or mucilage. Then the contestants are asked to cut silhouettes from the colored paper and paste them on the white cardboard, making a silhouette picture to illustrate a subject given, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other holiday. A good way to conduct the contest is to give the gentlemen one subject and the ladies another, offering a prize for the best illustration of each. Let the gentlemen decide in awarding the lady's prize and the ladies in awarding the gentleman's prize.

A Quotation Contest
We had a very pleasant time the other evening and found the game we played original in its arrangement. It was called a "Quotation Contest." To play it the various articles mentioned below are to be numbered and arranged in different parts of the room, and are to suggest the accompanying quotations, while the guests are given paper and pencils to write the suggestions as in a book party:

  • Cups of tea ("Cups that cheer but not inebriate").

  • Rose labeled "Tulip" ("A rose by any other name would smell as sweet").

  • Candle ("How far that little candle throws his beams!").

  • Toy horse ("A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!").

  • Feathers ("Fine feathers do not make fine birds").

  • Stocking with a hole in it ("A stitch in time saves nine ").

  • Washboard ("There's the rub").

  • Slipper soles ("Two souls with but a single thought").

  • Teapot ("Tempest in a teapot").

  • Pansies ("Pansies, that's for thoughts").

  • Music ("Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast").

  • Plaster head ("And still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew ").

  • Frying-pan ("Out of the frying-pan into the fire").

  • Stone ("The stone that is rolling can gather no moss ").

  • Broken glass with rose petals ("You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, but the scent of the roses will hang round it still").

  • Empty goblet with pair of spectacles (" Drink to me only with thine eyes").

  • Heart ("'Tis love that makes the world go round").

  • Star ("Twinkle, twinkle, little star").

  • Purse ("Who steals my purse steals trash").

  • Short story ("And thereby hangs a tale").

  • A broken chain ("A chain is as strong as its weakest link").

A Heart-Shooting Contest
A Heart-Shooting Contest is fine. A cord is stretched between two points in the room and from it are hung by strings five cardboard hearts, ranging from two inches in diameter to ten inches. Each heart has a number on its face - the smaller hearts have the larger numbers and the larger hearts the smaller numbers. The hearts should be hung from the line about a foot apart. Each player in turn must stand six feet away from the row of hearts, and, with a small, soft-rubber ball, try to hit the hearts and make them swing. Each person may have ten trials. If a player wishes to try for the big hearts with the little numbers he or she may do so, or may aim for each heart in turn, or simply at the little hearts with the big numbers; for the object is to get as high a score as possible. It is surprising to find how easy it is to escape hitting a single heart, and yet, of course, if you are a pretty good shot you may hit every one.
