glow necklaces
My friend recently had one of the best parties I have ever been to. This is going to sound really wacky but she had a skating party. Yes, she had a skating party… in her house. She saw the idea online and thought she really could pull this off. She has a big house with all wood floors, which desperately needed to be redone anyway, so she figured this would be a great idea for a party and boy was she right. She went to the local skate rink and took a look around; she put tape on the floors for lines and got a cotton candy machine and a popcorn machine from the local rental place.
Then she picked up some little toys and tickets and used these as party favors (you know just like the little junky toys that you can pick up at the skate rink). She had lots of glow sticks that you could wear around your neck and also some of those skinny glow necklaces. She said it was really easy picking out the party supplies. As for the food she made little pizzas and sodas and hot dogs. She also got a snow cone machine and let everyone make their own snow cones. It was just a real blast. She played a lot of that really old disco music and even had everyone do the bunny hop on their skates. She also had everyone skate around to the YMCA song doing the gestures above their heads. When things quieted down a bit, she got out the broom and had everyone give the limbo a shot. We laughed our way through the whole thing, although I am not sure that alcohol and a skating party mix, especially in people that have not been skating in quite a few years.
Well, there was only one injury at the party which I thought was pretty good. Apparently, a friend thought he was a professional speed skater and went seriously barreling into one of her walls. Fortunately the guy just got a few bumps and bruises, but the wall needed a patch job. We fixed it with the help of a few friends the next morning, and all was as good as new. She said that she will be redoing her floors next month, but it is a shame because I think that everyone would love to give that party theme one more go round.
