If you answered mostly ‘A’s, you should consider throwing a dance party. You’ve got the music in your soul and you and your friends can rock out to your favorite bands. Just make sure you have a space with plenty of room for moving around a stereo for blasting the tunes. Fingers foods are a great choice for a dance party – people want to be able to grab a bite and keep moving. Colorful decorations add to the dance club theme – consider bright streamers and hang CDs on strings from the ceiling. They catch the light like a mirror ball and are perfectly in keeping with your musical theme. Get up and dance!

If you answered mostly ‘B’s, you should consider throwing a games night. Have lots of board games on hand and ask your friends to bring along their video game controllers so you have enough for multi-player games. You can set up different game ‘stations’ so that guests have lots of options to keep them occupied. Chips and dip and nuts make convenient snack choices. To decorate, try to find some oversized dice at the dollar store and even make your own game sign with lots of glitter. You’ll be a big winner with your friends!

If you answered mostly ‘C’s, you should consider throwing a pool party. Your active lifestyle fits perfectly with a party where you and your friends can get out in the fresh air and keep moving. Instead of balloons, use lots of colorful beach balls and inflatable rings as decorations. Decorate your snack table with seashells and serve food – like hot dog wraps, fruit skewers and goldfish – in small plastic beach pails. And have lots of cold drinks available in a large cooler. Your party will really make a splash!

If you answered mostly ‘D’s, you should consider throwing a movie night. If you’re always up on the latest DVD releases, why not share your favorite flicks with your friends? You can make your own party invitations that look like tickets to the cinema. Then load up on the popcorn, whip up a pitcher of milkshakes, decorate your space with movie posters and have lots of extra cushions on hand for lounging. Your friends will think you’re a star!
