A Pub Themed Party

I'm very happy to say that I've joined creative forces with Sharon Elikan Dizenhuz, a veritable genius of theme ideas and implementation strategies. If you need someone to help you kick-start your event, then give her a call. I add the visual details, and before you know it, a fabulous party is on the way!

This was one of her first ideas Sharon proffered. I think a pub themed party is so great for the difficult category of "manly" events. A pub is the quintessential friendly atmosphere that encourages gathering, singing and general merriment. If your man loves sports, you can easily move the focus to game colors, or even a golf bend with more of a "old boys" club atmosphere.

Having been to a pub or two in England, Ireland and Wales, I felt quite qualified to take this project on. Based on Sharon's first set of lists, I created a concept for an invitation and logo that would get the mood set for the event. The one I show in this collage is great for a couple (did you get Stud and Nag Pub reference?), but I also have another focusing on the man of the hour (the Cocky Lad Pub).

Taking it further: Do you have a wood bar in your house that sets the tone? What about renting out your local pub for the party? How about finding a piano player to get the pub songs going? Or better yet, ask some of your friends who can play instruments to bring them and play. Don't forget to send out a song list and print copies of the words. That will get everyone singing along!

Here is a quick collage of images to get your creative juices flowing. I have more inspirational images on my Pinterest board here. Don't miss the party food menu ideas and a great playlist Sharon pulled together after the photos. You'll have your pub party atmosphere in no time, mate!
