Thematic birthdays: great ideas for a holiday

Gone are the times when the main decoration of the table was a TV and a salad "Olivier". Red caviar and champagne can be bought in any roadside shop, in imported down jackets everyone is flattered, even to homeless people, and Marlboro cigarettes are not only rare, but the fashion for smoking generally passes. Well, how do you celebrate birthdays in such conditions, please tell me? Than to please, entertain and surprise visitors?

As the heroine of the Soviet comedy Verochka said: "Nothing is impossible for a person with intelligence." In place of traditional festivals with mayonnaise salads came the fashion to organize thematic birthdays and parties.

The idea, in general, is simple and lies on the surface: the theme is chosen, and the entire festival is held in its mainstream. The room is decorated, meals are prepared, outfits, music, games and competitions are selected - all in accordance with the chosen orientation.

For example, if the theme is "Pioneer", then everyone wears red ties, blows in the horns and beat the drums, eat baked potatoes and sing "Bark fires". But it is more suitable for children. Thematic day the birth of an adult can be planned in a gangster style - and then everyone dresses in black and white clothes and hats, drink whiskey and play poker. Directions can be very different: Greek, marine, pirate, cosmic, floral. Thematic birthday in nature can be done in Hawaiian style, especially if the nature of you is the sea and the beach. However, if the sea is not asked, and you managed to be born in winter and in the middle band, it does not matter - we'll arrange a Hawaiian party at home or somewhere else!

Of course, thematic birthdays in the style of this carefree tropical island are best spent for lack of sea by the pool. By the way, many people do this: rent a holiday house or a cottage with an artificial pond "on board". If you are one of these lucky people, then warn that guests take swimsuits, make colored cocktails and colorful Hawaiian beads (lei), hang a waist with the inscription "Aloha!", And voila - you are the owner of the Hawaiian party!

If you do not have such opportunities, but want to give the guests a piece of tropical paradise, you will need to prepare more carefully for the holiday. Yes, and what to say, not so often we arrange thematic birthdays, you can and poke once or twice.

To everything went as it should and did not resemble a children's morning performance in the senior group, try to pay attention to small things.

First, the room should be decorated accordingly: bamboo curtains on the doors, large palms in pots (no one's own - take from neighbors), posters with sea scenery and beauties in the style of "Malibu Rescuers", bright napkins on the table, seashells and pebbles on All possible surfaces.

Secondly - the clothes of the guests. Warn everyone to wear colored shorts and shirts-Hawaii or just summer t-shirts. As a replacement shoe shoe will be just right. Your task is to prepare for each guest a leu (a national ornament on the neck). It can be made from paper or artificial flowers strung on a thick string or rope. These decorations will need to be distributed at the entrance, while saying the traditional greeting: "Aloha!"

On the table you need to put dishes with fruits, seafood salads, meat dishes from roast pork, fruit desserts and jelly. As beverages juices are excellent, and in this case it is better to serve alcohol as a part of cocktails, decorated with colored tubes, umbrellas and pieces of fruit, fixed on the edge of the glass.

Thematic birthdays can not do without traditional competitions and games. The most famous Hawaiian game is passing under a tight rope, the level of which gradually decreases.

Cheerful music in any style, excellent mood and the laughter of guests - that's all you need to add so that the holiday in Hawaiian style was a success.
