—Shanniki Green, owner, Heavenly Events, Columbia, Virginia
"I would like to do a classic toy holiday party. All the toys that remind you of Christmas: Radio Flyers, Flexible Flyers, stuffed teddy bears, and maybe a few toys from the Misfit island."

"'Around the world' for a New Year's party. Create different stations representing different countries and celebrate New Year's each hour in that country's traditions, drinks, and food. It would be such a fun holiday party with great flow and excitement. A New Year's kiss, hug, or yell every hour—what's not to love?"
—Steph Bree, owner, Blonde & Brunette Events, La Habra, California
"I always thought it would be fun to have a 'Grinch Who Stole Christmas' theme. It's somewhat nostalgic and the decor could be fun and allow for a lot of creativity."
—Kristie Braley, meeting and event manager, Experient, Cleveland
