A Clever Party Idea!

Need a clever party idea? Recently, I was invited to a party revolving around a very clever theme.

It all began with a very intriguing party invitation sent by my friends Stephanie and Tim. The invitation read:

Your presence is requested at a party on May 8 at 7pm at our home. Be Prepared to take a spin.

This invitation was very puzzling invitation. It really peaked my interest.

The night of the party, we arrived at their home to find Tim dressed in a suit (his usually curly hair slicked down so he looked kinda like Pat Sajak) and Stephanie wearing a lovely flowing evening gown her dark hair covered up by a long blond wig.

Being a very perceptive person, I put two and two together and asked “Are we playing Wheel Of Fortune®?” "Why yes , we are!" said Stephaine … I mean Vanna.

Stephanie lead us into their living room where the big screen they rented was perfectly positioned for all party-goers to see. Their Play Station was hooked up to the big screen. The party was all about having a good time with friends while playing Wheel Of Fortune®.
I never thought playing Wheel Of Fortune® on a big screen could be so cool. Tim and Steph had prizes for those of us who solved our prize puzzle. I won a nice bottle of wine. Another friend won a beautiful piece of costume jewelry. The big prize went to our friend Big Bob who solved the most puzzles. He got a gift certificate for a massage.

I say this is one clever party, because Tim and Steph went beyond a regular party idea and turned their favorite show into a great party theme. They rented a big screen, got some really good food from a local caterer and peeked our interest with a brief mention of a spin on the party invitation.

It doesn't really take much to come up with a clever party idea. Build you party around your favorite TV show, a hobby or something you have lying around the house.
