Wizard Of Oz Party SuppliesThe first thing to do when looking to throw a themed party is to create an invitation that sets the tone. There are many different creative ways in which you can approach a Wizard of Oz themed invitation. A good suggestion would be to send out E-vites for everyone you plan on inviting to the party. This way, you will be able to include things that may cost you a decent amount of money to do in a physical invitation sent through the mail. Another benefit of the E-vites is you will be able to get confirmation about who opened the email. You can then decide whether to contact the addressee in a different manner if they do not open the email. Lastly, you can get an instant RSVP from every person that will be attending the party. This will give you a better idea of what supplies you need to buy sooner. Many people believe there is no substitution for the physical invitation. If you are one of these people, it is possible to find invitations from party stores and online that will have the theme you are looking for. If you do not find anything that you like, you can always go down to the print shop and have a brand new invitation created just for you. The benefit to the physical invitation is it creates an instant memento of the evening. People do not have to remember to bring home an invitation in order to remember the evening. Once everyone is invited, it is time to set upon a venue to hold your party at. No matter where you hold the party, it is a good idea to create a yellow brick road leading up to the entrance to the party. You can buy something from the party store or online that will look like the yellow brick road, or you can paint it on the ground. This is a good idea to be done outside with washable paint. This way, you can simply spray off the ground at the end of the event. Those looking for something in between may want to consider creating a yellow brick road out of a banner material from the print store. This will make it harder to curve the road, but at least it will not tear when people walk on it. Wall decorations will be a very big part of the Wizard of Oz party supplies you will want to purchase. These decorations will include such things as the flying monkeys and other animals encountered along the yellow brick road. You might even want to convert one room of the party into resembling the emerald castle. This is possible with some temporary wall paper, or simply by draping emerald colored cloths around the room. The key is to not make everything look too jumbled up as you decorate the room. You want for the decorations to add to the party, not detract from it by making everything look cluttered. In order to make everyone feel as if they are a part of the film, you may want to add elements from Halloween party supplies to your purchases. Such things as a witches cackle in the background will make people feel as if the Wicked Witch of the West may be arriving at any time. Other sounds you may want to have in the background are sounds of a tornado and maybe even clips or songs from the movie. It is possible to buy the soundtrack of the movie from many different sources. Using an MP3 player will allow you to create a variety of sounds that will play throughout the night. You can even have the sounds give way to music when it is time to get on the dance floor. Purchasing plates, napkins and cups that tie in with the rest of the Wizard of Oz party supplies is very easy. Most every party supply store will have these kind of supplies available for purchase. When buying your supplies, keep in mind the age of the guests. If it is for children, you may want the appearance to be whimsical. If your guests will be mostly adults, try to seek out supplies that are a bit more refined. These can include pictures from the movie, or simply the name written as it is on the cover of the book, or in the title sequence of the movie. Other suggestions include buying everything you need to create the places where each of the characters first showed up in the movie. These should all be set up at different points along the yellow brick road. You can then have fun taking pictures with anyone in the different settings. If your party is themed to include costumes, all the more fun to take a picture of six scarecrows among corn rows. Once again, the different settings in the party will create a way for your guests to have more fun by breaking the ice for them. Planning a party should be fun. The more fun you have planning your party, the more fun your guests will have at your party. The Wizard of Oz party supplies you buy will allow you and everyone else to truly feel as if they are being transported to another world. If you plan your party correctly, there should be no one telling you there is no place like home. They would rather be at your party. |
