Tasting party? Chocolate. Cheese. Mustard.

This thread has potential to be entertaining, but is in danger of withering on the vine. Any other party ideas?

We are planning to do it again in the spring in the hoping we can secure Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson or Mariah Carey for a guest appearance.


and I thought the Pimp party was a bad idea...

Ice Cream Social (but children are typically invited)

Sex in the City Cocktail Party (moms only)

Our school has a progressive dinner party every year and it's been a HIT and huge money maker for years.


We did a Pimps and Hoes party when we lived in NYC. It went reasonably well. A few of the more uptight upper-crust crowd were offended.


Ugh. If I'm offended, does that automatically make me uptight and/or upper-crust?


All the people who complained about our party were the elites--- the PTA crowd who were always volunteering at the school and didn't have a sense of humor.

Hmm, that last one isn't going to fly at our school. Any other suggestions?

A friend and I plan to offer to host a sign-up party as a donation for our school auction this year. These are usually big sellers at our school. I am searching for new good ideas. Any suggestions? Thanks!
