One of the first and broadest decisions you have to make when you plan a party is what theme to use for the entire event.  The theme is important, because it determines pretty much everything about the party: the location, the décor, the food, the activities.  When you select a theme, you have to think about the target audience.  Who will be attending your party?  Will the theme make the right impression?  Will it provide an entertaining event?  The theme can make or break the success of the event. Why choose a carnival theme for your upcoming event?  Carnival themes [...]

Are you hosting a carnival, planning a town or county fair, or perhaps just planning another party with a carnival theme?  The theme of a fun fair is a classic one, perhaps because carnivals are regularly annual events, and many of their games and foods have remained relatively unchanged over the years.  The entire atmosphere of a carnival is itself a kind of nostalgic throwback to simpler times, and that appeal never wears off.  For children, they are fun and magical, and for adults, they are as familiar and enjoyable as the best childhood memories. Another benefit of hosting a [...]

Anyone who has ever attended a carnival, circus, or county fair has seen a dunk tank.  The “victim” sits on a seat over a large tank of water, and a target is provided.  Guests playing the game will throw a ball at the target, and if they are able to strike it, the seat will tip or drop, dunking the person seated there.  These tanks are a fun game for children and adults, and they are perfect for use at a party, picnic, or carnival. Dunk tanks are also excellent for fundraising.  When you use a dunk tank to raise [...]

Popcorn machines are often associated with carnival themes, and are perfectly for a carnival-themed party, but they are also great for a variety of different events.  Rent a popcorn machine for a [...]
