The PartyCharlie Summer Party Series... The Outdoor Masquerade Party!

The PartyCharlie summer party series continues this month with an old idea, with a new twist... An outdoor masquerade party! It's sexy, it's fun, it's what summer is all about! Hide behind your mask, dressed in your sexiest summer clothes!

The theme of your party can be anything you desire, from elegant to college frat. Once the theme is decided, you would want to send out invitations. I would recommend at least a month in advance with a reminder no less than a week before your event.

A masquerade party is about mystery. Ask your guests not to speak for the first half hour of the party; this will keep everyone guessing about each others identity. Hand out erase boards as your guest arrive so they can communicate with each other during this period. Have a contest to see who can identify the most people. Once the winner is crowned, the silence ends, and the partying begins!

A masquerade party requires a high level of planning. Give PartyCharlie a call for a masquerade party you will remember for the rest of your life!

Safety – Making It a Priority – Part Three

(This month's party tip, is from my book...

“Party Planning Secrets: The Ultimate Guide To A Successful Party.”

Chapter 7 - Safety – Making It a Priority – Part Three, pages, 45, & 46.)

Keep watch over the self-service bar area to make sure no underage drinkers are serving themselves (or being served).

Close the bar approximately 30 minutes before the end of the party and serve only water, soft drinks, and coffee so guests have a chance to sober up.

Don’t use anything breakable (such as a glass) to scoop out ice for your drinks. If the glass cracks without your noticing it, shards and splinters could end up in the drinks.

Keep entrances and exits clear of clutter.

Never put knives in a soapy sink. You may reach in later and…OUCH!

Always clean and put knives away after you use them, even if you plan to use them again in the next few minutes.

Never place a knife on the edge of your counter.

Keep floors dry and clean up spills immediately.

When cooking, always keep pot handles turned in. This will prevent someone from knocking a pot off the stove or a child from touching it.

Have a flashlight and first aid kit available.

Have fun & enjoy yourself! Remember, you’re not launching the space shuttle—it’s a party, and you should have fun creating wonderful energy!

PartyCharlie On The Red Carpet

On April 21st I had the pleasure to be one of the producers of the Hollywood Masquerade Ball at the Highlands Hollywood. It was a great event! The Hollywood Masquerade Ball, was a fund raiser for Jenny McCarthy's Generation Rescue, an organization dedicated to recovery for children with autism.

That's me, PartyCharlie, being interviewed on the red carpet!

It was a star studded affair. An incredible evening of burlesque, song, masks & mystique, benefiting a great cause!

More pictures, and video coming soon!!!

Safety – Making It a Priority – Part Two

This month's party tip, is from my book...

“Party Planning Secrets: The Ultimate Guide To A Successful Party.”

Chapter 7 - Safety – Making It a Priority – Part Two, pages, 44, & 45.

If you’re using lights for design purposes — for instance, reflecting color lights off the walls — don’t place bulbs near objects that can catch fire easily. The heat from a bulb can be intense.

Always make sure the light fixtures are secured and won’t tip over and burn the carpet or any other items.

Make sure electrical/extension cords are firmly plugged in. Not doing so can cause sparks at the outlet.

Tuck away or tape down cords so guests won’t trip over them.

Post emergency numbers next to the phone, including the local fire department, police department, and poison control center. We all know 911,but these days, you can’t rely on 911 alone.

Check that your smoke detectors are in working order.

If you’re having a large backyard party and expect people to be swimming in the pool, it’s a good idea to have a lifeguard on hand. Some states have laws requiring that you have a lifeguard. Children must always be supervised.

Also, only use plastic-ware around the pool. If

someone breaks something in the pool, you may

have to drain it!
