Organizing an awesome party or event
isn’t as easy as it looks—that’s the
lesson quickly learned by anyone who
tries to put together a memorable
gathering. Whether you’re a
professional wedding planner or just
someone hoping to throw a
unforgettable birthday bash for a
significant other, you need to figure out
how to inject some novelty into the
festivities. With that in mind, here are
some off-the-beaten-track ideas for your
next event.
There's nothing quite so captivating
as a person juggling batons that have
been set on fire. A professional fire
performer can usually perform this
feat and many others, including fire
eating and limbo dancing.
As you may have guessed, fire
performance can be dangerous if
done in improper conditions. Make
sure that the performer has an
appropriate space in which to work.
A speed painter can create a
portrait of anyone in literally a
matter of minutes. Who wouldn’t
like to have a painting of
themselves?
It’s a great way to give party
guests a portable gift to
commemorate the occasion.
A number of professional speed
painters make themselves
available for private events and
parties.
Dueling pianos usually consists of two
to four pianists who perform songs
requested by the attendees of the
party. The tunes performed tend to be
well-known pop/rock tunes, though
some professionals are able to play a
wide variety of musical genres.
It’s customary for the pianists to
intersperse comedic audience
participation routines into the act.
This is the umbrella name for a number of related
activities that involve musical and/or athletic
performance. These can include the following:
Martial arts demonstration – Skilled
performers execute elaborate fake fights and
other feats.
Beatboxing – This involves vocally mimicking
musical instruments. Professional beatboxers
generally are highly skilled at a wide range of
musical styles.
BMX entertainment – How about some high-
flying bicycle stunts?
The King may be dead, but many
celebrity impersonator services can
deliver Elvis Presley to your next event.
The ―celebrities‖ available depend on
the particular company you contact.
Marilyn Monroe, the Three Stooges,
and Charlie Chaplin are some of the
more common ones.
Some impersonators even specialize in
mimicking famous singers like Frank
Sinatra, imitating both their look and
their sound with uncanny accuracy.
Belly dancing has boomed in
popularity over the last decade or
so. It’s no surprise then that there
are a number of companies that
hire out belly dancers for private
events.
Many of these companies can
stage elaborate shows that also
feature various other cultural
traditions (e.g., music) associated
with belly dancing.
There are a number of companies that
specialize in setting up ―snow parties.‖ This
involves delivering artificial snow to an
outdoor environment, allowing party guests
to frolic in a winter wonderland.
This is popular in warm climates where the
locals rarely see snow in person.
Better still, clean-up is easy—the snow
should melt in a matter of hours.
