August 08, 2008 - Very few people can win a gold medal in swimming, but anyone and everyone can win a gold in eating, TV watching and partying! With creative themes and tips from iParty, Olympics-lovers can host a celebration right in their living room or backyard. Here’s the proof!
Opening Ceremony – Light the torch, or the grill, and get the party up and running. Food is essential to any blow-out. So prepare some hometown favorites, try a traditional Chinese meal or ask guests to make a dish from one of the countries competing in the 2008 Games. Just make sure to stock up on plenty of colorful plates, Chinese take-out containers, and decorative flags. Chopsticks are essential!
Backyard Olympian – Why spend years in intense training when it takes just minutes to get in shape for some backyard Olympics? Hop into a sack and leap toward the finish line or battle it out in a tournament of Badminton, Ping-Pong, Soccer or Volleyball. Just don’t forget to honor the winners with medals, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons and Sports Award pins.
Honorable Goodbye – Give guests a send-off fit for a champion by handing out gift bags. Try a sports-themed bag complete with sports pencils, erasers, whistles and vinyl basketballs, baseballs and soccer balls. Or pass out Beijing-inspired gifts such as Oriental folding fans, Oriental parasol umbrellas, Chinese yo-yo’s, assorted paddle balls and Chinese rubber duckies. You can also mix both themes for the full Olympic effect. Fortune cookies make the perfect take-home sweet!
