Theme parties are a great way to add fun and excitement to your party. They help increase attendance, outside sales and bookings, which means YOU will earn more Hostess Benefits.

Your guests who participate with the theme and/or participate in other ways during the party will earn "auction bucks." At the end of the party, I usually hold an auction for a few gifts that your guests can bid on and win using the auction dollars they earned throughout the party! Sound like fun? It is!

Check out the exciting theme party ideas in the file below. If you don't see one you want, we can create one just for you with custom invitations. I offer a Free Jar Candle to anyone who comes up with an idea for a theme party and auction buck ideas that I’ve not heard before. The list below is not exhaustive, so put your thinking cap on and try to develop a new theme!

you would like to use at your next

Host a Holiday Spa Party

Channel your inner "Spa Girl" and get ready to host the Best Bash of the Season-Spa Style!

"I’d love a cup of neon red party punch and, oh, pass the cheese doodles please"…NOT! Come on...over are the summer weddings and endless showers, no more afternoons or evenings filled with boring games, (who made those up anyways?) watching the guest of honor open countless department store gifts, and eating cake. And speaking of games, what about those prizes you win? You know what I’m talking about! The ones that you take home and feed to the black hole of assorted and unwanted (sorry, it’s true) would be bling blings.

Today's informed, evolved women, unite and say "Enough Already!" But hey, things are looking up, because, it's your turn to host! So lead the way, begin the trend, slam on the breaks to boresville, and show them how it’s really done! While visions of friends and family, massages and manicures, food and fun, dance in your head, you're in REM dreaming of pedicures, caterers, appetizers and Zen!

They’ll be no little sausages or pigs in a blanket (how sad!) at your soiree, no sir-ee. You’re thinking fresh-and delicious, simple-yet elegant, relaxing-with a splash of sparkle on the side, and a sublime serving of creative, contagious fun that permeates a fabulous flair.

Let us stroll down Gift Avenue for a spell and speculate what we think women really want. I don't know about you, but this is what I hear from women everywhere, everyday: "I don't have enough time for myself", "Relax, what's that?", and while some women spend the proper amount of time shopping for themselves, most shop much more for everyone else. Meet the classic case of "do for everyone else first, and if there is any time left, do a little something for me", like that’s really gonna happen. Let the gift be useful, something just for them, something to inspire them to relax and unwind, something when they think of, or use their gift, they have fond thoughts of you. Nothing pricey, but pleasingly personable, not mass-produced mindless gifts, and please, they should not have to play that touchy-feely “what’s in the bag” game to get it. Your guests will enjoy "Gifts of Beauty", handmade with love, presented to them with style and a smile...now that's what I'm talking about!

So where does a girly girl with sumptuous taste turn to, to throw the best bash of the season? Spa-la-la-la-la…right here, right now, read on…
