Make Your Own Invitations
Having a party? You can get pre-made invitations at the store and write in the pertinent information or have them custom printed, but if you really want to add a personal feel to your invitations, make your own. With a little computer know how, it isn’t hard to do.
For simple and inexpensive invitations, design your card to take up half of an 8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper. You can then print two cards at a time, cut the sheet in half, then fold the cards. The finished cards will measure 4.25”x5.5” and fit nicely into an A-2 envelope.
Decide whether you want your card to be vertical or horizontal. Using a layout or photo program, place your images and text as shown in the diagrams below. You can add additional photos or information if you like on inside and back of the card. A map is often a helpful addition.
Vertical Cards:
Horizontal Cards:
When you finish designing your card, print a copy. Be sure the back and front line up correctly and that you like the result. Once you are happy with your card, you are ready to print the finished product. You can do this yourself or go to a copy store.
Since people have different software on their computers, specific instructions for designing the card on your computer are not included here. However, if you are not good with computers, you can also put together your invitation by hand, cutting out photos and using glue or double-sided tape to attach them to the paper. You can either hand letter your card or print your text and glue it in place as well. Take your finished prototype to the copy store to have copies made to send out. Be sure to check the first copy to make sure that it is as you like it. If there are problem spots, use white-out on the copy and copy from the corrected copy for additional cards. Do not have the bulk of the invitations made until you are happy with your results.
Pick a card stock paper you like for your invitation. For a home printer, you will want to pick a light weight card stock and make sure your printer is able to handle the thickness. A white card stock with a smooth finish is usually a good choice, though there are times when colored papers and textured papers are appropriate. If there is a store in your area that sells a variety of papers and envelopes, look at your options before making a decision. If you are having copies made at the copy store, check to make sure they will accept outside papers, and if they will not, chose from their selection. While you are choosing your paper, pick a matching envelope as well.
Once your cards have been printed, use a paper cutter, an exacto knife, or scissors to cut the cards and fold the folded side by hand. Be careful as it is very easy to accidentally cut the wrong side.
You can use your word program to make address labels or address the cards by hand. If you want to put together an RSVP card, you can do that as well. You can make the RSVP card self mailing, like a post card or you can purchase smaller envelopes and fit it to size. Depending on the event, you may include return postage as well.
If making your own invitations proves too challenging or time consuming, many stores offer photo cards. You can also have your card custom designed by a professional designer, a copy or print shop, an artist or a design student. The options are only limited by your imagination and your budget.
Promoting Your Arizona Event
You’ve picked a date, reserved a space, and made all the arrangements to hold your event, but for an event to be a success, people have to show up. How can you promote your event?
The first thing you need to determine is how many people you want to attend your event and which people you are going after. If this is a wedding or party, you might just send out invitations with RSVP cards and be done with it. Small informal events can use email or Facebook invitations. Just make sure that everyone RSVP’s so you don’t end up with too many (or not enough people).
Larger events are going to take more work to promote, especially when there is an admission charge for an event. The earlier you start promoting your event, the better. Figure out what your draw is for your event and use that to your advantage. Sometimes it is a good idea to book entertainers or bring in inflatables games to draw more people to an event.
There are many events calendars online and on print, many of which will include events at no charge. Get on as many of them as possible. If you can not find information on adding your event to a guide, make some phone calls or emails until you find someone who can help you.
Advertise your event in the appropriate venues. The newspaper is usually a smart choice. There might also be magazines that are suited to your event. For large events consider radio and television ads. You can also post fliers and do a direct mailing (or email) to any individuals you feel would be interested. If you have a web-site or Facebook page, use it to promote your event. If you don’t, set up a Facebook page. It’s free and it’s a great place to promote both this event and future functions.
If you are selling advance tickets for your event you should have a pretty good idea how successful your promotion is. After all, once an event is sold out, there is no need to continue pushing it unless you plan to hold additional events in the future. If you have a lot of extra tickets, consider offering some as prizes for giveaways at radio stations, stores, and other businesses. Giving away tickets will get someone in the seat, plus you get advertising out of it every time your event is mentioned.
The event day is your final opportunity to get people to come to your event, so take advantage of it. Don’t stop promoting your event until it is over (or full). Make sure your event is well marked and easy to find. Good signs are very helpful. You can rent promotional items like Sky Dancers and Feather Flags from AZ Party Rents. These are effective for drawing people’s attention and helping people find your event.
After the event is over, keep track of what promotions worked and what did not and use the information to further promote your next event.
Putting Together an Oscars Celebration worthy of the Stars
The Oscars are coming up February 26 and for movie aficionados, that is ample cause for a celebration. An Oscars Academy Awards party can be loads of fun, whether you just invite a handful of friends or have a big gala event.
An Oscars Party can be an informal event, or you can have your guests dress up like stars. You can hold the party at any location you wish, as long as it is big enough for your guest list. Just make sure that you have a good sized television to view the show on. If you really want to pull all of the stops, rent a movie theater to host your event and watch the Oscars on the big screen.
Make your Oscars party really special by renting a popcorn machine from AZ Party Rents and popping fresh popcorn for the guests. No movie event would be complete without popcorn. Something about fresh popped corn from a movie theater, it just tastes better then the stuff you make from home. By using a movie theater style popcorn machine, you can have the good stuff at your event, plus the machine is easy to use, pops a large quantity at once, and keeps the corn warm until it is served. To really replicate the flavor from the theater, put a small spoon full of Flavacol seasoning salt on the kernels before putting them in the popper. Serve the popcorn with melted butter or if you prefer you can use Whirl or another butter alternative.
For a casual event, serve movie theater style concessions, pizza, candy, and soda. Be sure to get theater bags (or buckets) and cups, so you can replicate the whole movie theater feel. If you prefer a more elegant affair, serve champagne in glasses and fancy hors d’oeuvres.
Have partygoers vote on their favorites for each of the categories at the beginning on the party. You can then name off the winners based on your party’s ballets right before the actual winners are announced on the show and see how many coincide with the official vote. Find out which one of the party goers votes for the most of the actual winners for a prize. Consider giving a prizes, like DVDs and posters of the nominated movies. Play movie trivia during the ads and sing along and dance with the songs. Send the guests home with swag bags with fun movie related stuff. Most importantly, have lots of fun. Be sure the paparazzi are invited to your party or at least make sure there’s someone taking lots of pictures to immortalize the event.
Hope you have a great Oscars event! In the mean time, hurry up and watch as many as the nominees as possible so you are ready to cast your ballet on Oscar night.
Inflatable Fun for Parties and Events
Having a birthday party, a picnic, or another event with lots of kids? Consider renting inflatable play equipment to add extra fun to your event. Many parks and event venues allow the use of inflatables for events. Inflatables are also a great draw for trade shows, conventions, and fairs to make the events more kid friendly.
Kids love bounce houses! AZ Party Rents has a selection of great bounce houses to choose on so kids can jump around to their hearts content. Bounce houses have soft walls, making them much safer than the old fashioned trampoline. And they are so much fun! Plus, as long as the event permits, adults can jump too!
Inflatable slides are also a popular choice with kids and adults. AZ Party Rents offers a variety of slides to choose from including a water slides which are perfect for warm Arizona weather.
Obstacle courses include a variety of fun obstacles and activities such as climbing, sliding, and bouncing. Kids and adults can race through the course to see who gets the best time or just go through at their own pace.
Can’t decide between a bounce house, a slide, and an obstacle course? Get them all! Combo units combine slides and bouncers plus add in other great activities such as obstacle courses, a basketball hoop, and climbing walls.
Having an inflatable at your event is sure to add fun to the event, regardless of which inflatable you choose.

Choosing and Hiring DJs or Music Groups for a Party
A bad DJ or perhaps band at your occasion could make or break it. Choosing the right DJ or even band may be less difficult than you realized. The initial item to consider is what kind of event that you are hosting.
Is it a kid’s birthday party, a family reunion or a wedding? Contemplate whether you have specific songs that you want played or if event tracks are your only necessity.
If you’re hosting a wedding, you will want happy love songs, not depressing heart-broken songs played at the reception. Similarly, at a kid’s party, you do not want tunes that refer to unacceptable acts or bad speech, with a room full of 8 year olds.
Should you be renting a venue outside of your house, ask the location manager if they provide a DJ or music group with the room. Typically these can be hired for a discounted price using the venue rental. When they don’t staff a DJ or band, they are often able to recommend one that works with the venue frequently they feel would be suitable and not too pricey.
Whenever they do not have a suggestion, there are several things to consider. What is the amount of people who will be going to your function? How many speakers will be essential for the music to be heard clearly through the entire venue space? Will you be needing lighting? Several DJs will have these things that you can rent from them also. Or you may need to rent them from a neighborhood music store.
Several bands or DJs will have an advance payment that they demand in order for you to book them for your function. Try to look for one relatively early in the party planning, so that you know beforehand what you will need to invest in the music for the occasion. Ask your friends, family members or your co-workers if they have strategies for bands or DJs they’ve used in the past.
It will help you to determine which ones to contact and which ones are best to avoid. While contacting a DJ or band, request references and video clips of previous occasions that they have worked. Do they have the equipment that is required for your event? Ask if they are going to charge extra for songs that you would like performed specifically if it is beyond their usual collection.
Some DJs might have party favors that they give out to the party guests, or you might be required to buy those as extra supplies. Let the DJ or perhaps band know exactly just how long they are required to stay for the event. A number of DJs charge by the hour although some charge per occasion. You do not want to be caught off guard with additional charges that you were not expecting at the conclusion of the evening.
