Re: The Nest Product Awards Giveaway!

  • I'd do a "grown-up" Disney prince/princess remake party of Belle and Aladdin. My husband's family is from India and we met in France, where I studied abroad. So we'd have fry bread and cholle, samosas, cream puffs, aoili and french bread!
  • I love a beach party theme.  Umbrella drinks, dancing the shag, what a way to spend a summer night! 
  • A Hawaiian luau! Lots of colorful flowers, grass skirts, and pina coladas!

  • I know the time of year isn't right, but if I could throw an awesome Halloween costume party just one time I would be ecstatic. I love Halloween... and I'm a Halloween baby so it's even more fun to celebrate!
  • My themed party would be a Prince & Princess.  I have twins and everything has to be done in 2's.  
  • Camping theme! What is better then friend's around a campfire with s'mores and beers under the stars?!!
  • I would throw a super-hero party; seems to be the happening thing.
  • My number one themed party that has been a smashing hit for the last 6 years is St. Patrick's party. I come from an Irish family and our slow cooked Corned Beef and Fixings (potatoes, cabbage, and carrots) are cooked for 22 hours in nothing but Guinness and brown sugar. This last year I had to up it to 4 corned beefs and even still, there wasn't ANY leftovers much to the disappoint of my husband!
  • The Blues Brothers, all the way! Fried chicken and white toast and a coke.
  • A luau of course!

    Titanic theme, of course!  Rid yourself of hot summer nights, and come chill out at the Titanic party!  Everyone is invited to come let loose and drown your sorrows!  Guests should dress warmly, and those who can swim will be the life of the party.  All drinks will be served on the rocks, and no one will be able to escape the piercing beauty of the elegant ice sculptures.  Near the end, the lovely sounds emanating from the stringed quartet will fade into the background and you'll find your troubles drifting away.  At the close of the night, a select group of lucky winners will be drawn from a hat for a grand prize of a ride on the lifeboats (many, however, will be excluded). You'll never let go of these memories!

  • FUTRAMA! I love the show so much, I even won a writing competition about my love for the show. Having a Futrama themed party is a great way to start the new season and welcome the summer.  

    I'd have foods based on the show, Slurm, popplers, jerked chicken. It would be so much fun.

  • Star Wars all the way! There's so many costumes and looks to pick from that it would be easy for anyone to get dressed up in costumes.
