New years is here so we are going to include where to get the newest styles and where all the great deals are so keep reading. Also in this post: how to host a great New Years party!Hosting a Party
Parties are always fun but you need to keep your guests entertained. (These are tips targeting people who have already planned because you want to leave yourself a lot of time... also these tips are great for any party even if it is not for New Years)
Step one:
Leave yourself plenty of time so send out invitations 4-3 weeks before your party so people can reserve that date and you can be ready!
Step two:
Don't make this an alone project because unless you can handle it, it's always good to have friends help you! It's always fun to plan parties and your friends should be understanding.
Step three:
You should choose a theme. If it's a birthday party it helps your guest pick out a gift. Even if it is a party it always will keep your guests entertained to have a theme!
Step four:
Picking a place is always going to tie in with the theme so choose wisely. If yours or a friends house is big, then use it because you want your guests to be able to move around and not be crowded in a small space. If you are using a public place, it is good to reserve it or a room, so that you don't have little kids walking up and wanting cake, like at the park. You don't want people to be walking up and trying to joint the party.You can give someone who works at the place, a list of people who RSVPd so only they can get into the party room.
Step five:
Plan games. Depending on how long you party, you should always plan a few more games then you anticipate playing because you never know how long each game may take, and you might just want to play things safe!
Step 6:
Decide on the menu early in the party planning process on what foods you will be serving your guests so you can make a list of foods to buy. Make sure you get a variety of things so all of your guests can enjoy some food. I you forget something you can barrow some from a friend.
Step 7:
As soon as you have the core parts of your party set (date, time, location food entertainment) , start inviting people. If your house is at least 2500 sq ft. (average size) then 20 guests or more so your house is not empty should be a good amount , so invite at least 30. Make sure when inviting people, you don't do it in front of people who you are not inviting. Just so you aren't hurting peoples feelings.
Step 8:
The valuables. Keep anything that can be bumped or broken in an off-limits room. Cell phones, tablets, and other electronics, should be kept in your drawer so it can't be misplaced, broken, or stolen.
Step 9:
Set the mood. When people start to arrive welcome them and they will feel comfortable right away. Dress in something that goes with the theme of your party so people will be talking about the party afterward.
Step 10:
Put out less chairs then there are people so people can mingle. Also remember to put out end tables by chairs, so people can set their food down.
Step 11:
Invite people to your party and then talk to them so they can feel welcome.
Step 12:
Remember to have background music loud enough to hear but quiet enough so that people can hear each other
Step 13:
Thank people for coming as they leave and hand them a goodie bag or thank you note, and your party will be successful!

Your Options:
Fashionable Petz
So fashion can be expressed in your clothes, room, and hair, but as well as your pet. Maltese dogs are very small, fashionable but also expensive. Some prices range in the thousands. You can get them at a better price the bigger they are, but teacup size (literally) being the most popular, they are really expensive so if you are looking for a money saver then you might not find a little one. You end up spending around $300 if you buy a bigger one, like a foot long. If you want a teacup Maltese, Then around $5000 so if you find a little one for less than $3000, give me a call. LOL. Its always great to dress up a pooch on your arm, so I found some really good dog outfits from miniinthebox.com.
Mini In The Box also has jewelry at a great price and I got some rings and necklaces for $00.99 each which was a real money saver!
