General Bridal Shower Tips

The bridal shower is a special occassion for any bride, thus the bride's tastes and preferences should be incorporated into its planning.
Some brides prefer the traditional bridal shower, while others want to spice it up a little.  Ask questions: whom to invite, where, what to do, etc.  Once the guidelines have been set, beginning planning the unforgettable event. 
Stay on budget.  Usually the bride's parents pay for the shower or share the costs with the maid of honor.  Despite the budget, one can still plan a special day since  Activities for bridal showers run the gamut from afternoon tea to bowling to a day at the spa or even a weekend retreat. 
Entertainment should be appropriate for the formality of the event. If the bride would approve, consider gag gifts to lighten the mood. 
In some cases, party favors are expected. This usually depends on the circle of friends and how traditional the wedding will be.  The same goes for gift registry.  While some find it appropriate to list it on the invitations, others prefer word of mouth.  Remember, though, that when registering for gifts one should select gift options in a variety of price ranges.  After the shower, it is appropriate to send handwritten thank you notes.  
Consider hiring a photographer or ask a bridesmaid to take photos throughout to create special memories for the bride.

General Ethnic Event Tips

The first step to planning a successful ethnic event is to conduct some research into what cuisine, activities, traditions, music, and attire best represent that culture.   Learn about the history of the holiday or tradition.  
Ethnic festivals, parades and parties make great fundraising events.  The community may be more inclined to participate knowing that proceeds will benefit a charity or organization.  
Hire a DJ that can provide a variety of culturally-appropriate music for the event.  Consider hiring a professional to teach ethnic dance lessons during the event as a fun activity.  
Look into traditional costumes or attire for the particular culture and dress accordingly.  Encourage others to dress the part with prizes or other incentives.

General Pool Party Tips

Safety is paramount when it comes to pool parties, especially when they involve children.  Be sure to provide enough supervision.  Before letting a child dip one foot in the water, educate him or her about the rules of playing in water.  This includes not running around the pool and not pushing others into the pool. Safety also requires providing protection from the sun rays with sunblock and sunglasses.

Remind guests to bring their own towels and swimsuits, as well as a change of clothing, if necessary. 

Keep the food light, as guests will be swimming. Keep hydrated, especially during the summer, with water, juices and teas. 

Add music, games and food and the party is sure to create a splash.

General Sporting Event Tips

When checking off the list of things to do for planning a sports party, there is one thing one must make a top priority: the food.  Munching on snacks during a sporting event is as second nature to sports fans as cheering for their favorite teams.  Party favorites such as pizza, wings, burgers, chips, crackers and sandwiches are one's best bet to winning the crowd over.  
While costume parties are fun, limit them to birthdays and other events.  Sports events should focus on just that.  Show your team spirit with a jersey or T-shirt, and, as some fanatics, with a foam finger and face/body paint.
Organizing a sporting event that generates fans of its own requires the same amount of patient and determination as playing a sport.  One must also be organized.  Plan the event ahead of time to allow ample time for marketing and fundraising if needed.  Reach out to friends, family and the media for help in those areas.  Round up volunteers and train them well. Offer incentives to motivate them. 
When hosting an event at a venue, keep in mind the estimated attendance and occupancy limits.

General Picnic/Luncheon/BBQ's Tips

Pack a basket-full of picnic favorites, such as cheeses, sandwiches, fruit, muffins, pastries, chips and crackers.  Go traditional with basket, or chose a practical carrier, such as a cooler or large lunch box. 
Don't forget the essentials, such as a blanket, insect repellant, eating utensils, napkins, garbage bags, corkscrew or bottle opener, sunscreen, condiments.   Keep a first aid kit in the car just in case. Make the picnic more comfortable with cushions, an umbrella, and lawn chairs. Most parks have regularly-watered grass, so the ground may be wet.  Bring a tarp to spread out under the blanket to ensure a dry sitting area. 
Separate cold foods from hot foods.  If possible, bring a separate container for each.  Carry perishable food in a cooler.  
Choose a spot with enough privacy to relax and spend quality time together.   Protect yourself from sunburn with a shaded area or an umbrella.
