Great Party Idea: UFO Party

This is my image that I created using Paint3d.  

I started with a hemisphere, elongated it horizontally, then tilted it to show the bottom slightly.  This gives the illusion of looking at a flat bottom item on an angle.  Next, I colored it with metallic coloring, something Paint3d does, and the grey looks silver.

As a party begins to take shape the first thing one must have is a date.  To help avoid conflicts with those who will be invited send our a “Save the Date” announcement as soon as possible.  I suggest securing a venue to make certain you will be able to host the party on the date specified.

Then send an invitation once all is scheduled. 

Below are both “Save the Date” cards and invitations that will work.  They are Zazzle products that I have designed.  The good news is they can be ordered as downloadable cards to reduce expense, or Zazzle can print them for you.  Envelopes are optional but do add to the cost.

Determine what kind of party you will have.  You might have an outdoor event and call it a UFO Watch Party where people pretend to look for (or not pretend) UFOs.  Yes, I realize they are now UAPs, but that name is slow in catching on.  Then you can have a barbeque, traditional party food, or just snacks.  You can even have a pool party.  Or the party can be indoors, which precludes watching the sky. 

Food and drinks require something to be served in.

The party themed plates come in two shapes, square and round, and two sizes, seven-inch and nine-inch.  They can have black stripes at the top and bottom or be all blue.

Drink cups with the party theme are also available in two sizes, and they can come with a lid or not.  Coasters in a myriad of shapes are good for protecting surfaces.

Napkins are highly recommended.  Napkins can be found in the smaller cocktail napkin for drinks, or in the larges size for food.  

The nice thing about Zazzle is one can match a design for an entire party.

Look elsewhere for utensils.  Amazon is a good place to find the color you want.

For carrying the food and drinks and setting up a place for people to grab what they want I recommend a serving tray.

The products with the black border were made first.  The black is the background from Zazzle.  The all-blue items were made after I matched the image from Paint3d background to the Zazzle background.

A party should be fun, and humor always makes things more fun.  Often, we hear "Take me to your leader."  First, if a space alien exists, and could speak even though most people report they have no mouths, what are the odds space aliens speak English?  But we are having fun with the topic, so why not give the reply, "Show me your leader first?"  This works best on items with large surface areas, like serving trays.  However, if you want it elsewhere remember Zazzle allows personalizing.  Go ahead and alter things as best fit your needs.

Yes, the items above all serve as decorations.  But you can add more.

Confetti make great table scatters, but outdoors they may easily blow away.  This makes cleaning after the party a really arduous chore.  While confetti can add a dimension to your party remember to use confetti indoors only.

Helium balloons also add much, especially if you hold the party outdoors.  Outdoors balloons can be called decoys just to keep the humor going.  (Helium would need to be obtained elsewhere, such as at a party supply store.)  Remember, a loose helium balloon will ascend to a high ceiling.  It will eventually come down, but when?

The eerie sound of a theremin makes good background music.  It would be stopped if dancing were to start, but the eerie sound makes it ideal for a UFO watch party.
