April 30, 2011If you’re planning on having a themed party, an Elvis party may be just the theme for you. You’ve got Elvis movies and music for entertainment and there’s no limit to the “Elvis favorites” you can serve up as food and snacks at your party. Because Elvis is such a prominent figure it is simple to put together decorations.
There are lots of fun games and activities that you could enjoy at an Elvis party. You can get an Elvis CD and play the first few bars of a track and then have your guests try to name the tune; or play part of a song then pause it and have people try to complete the line. You can also read some facts about Elvis and make a number of questions for a trivia game or a quiz with a prize. Here is a little information about Elvis that you may utilize to make some trivia cards or questions.
Elvis Presley arrived on the American music scene in 1956, however he’d already been well-known locally around Memphis for some time beforehand. He promptly became identified with the new rock’n'roll music and teenagers just about everywhere took him to their hearts. His sensual style during his performances got his female fans into a frenzy, which initially prompted much criticism in the media – but the subsequent publicity did no harm at all to his career. Following his being drafted and service in the U.S. Army, without favors or complaint, opinion concerning him in the press began to switch, and when he came back his new, mature style helped him be able to reach an even larger audience.
Not satisfied with being perhaps the world’s most well-known singer, he also went into acting and soon took Hollywood by storm. During his career he was in 31 movies – all of these were a success at the box office – and in the middle of the 1960s he was the best paid actor in Hollywood. Soon after he returned to doing concerts in the 1970s his shows in Las Vegas were legendary, and he was soon known as the “World’s Greatest Entertainer”.
One of Elvis’s favorite snacks was peanut butter and banana sandwiches. If you’re planning on having an Elvis party this snack is a must. The best way to make them is to first toast the bread, then spread on peanut butter. Next slice the bananas and place them on the peanut butter. It is a terrific snack that will definitely put a smile on the faces of your guests.
If you would like kick back and relax, you can end the party with an Elvis film, or, if you’ve got a somewhat more rowdy crowd, you could try a little Elvis karaoke or an “Elvis hips” contest in which you see who is able to imitate Elvis’s dancing and those renowned hips.
An Elvis party can definitely be loads of fun and leave your friends talking about your party for years to come. It will be one of a kind and original and most likely different than any other party your friends have ever been invited to. “It’s now or never”, deliver those invites and hopefully you will not receive them back with “return to sender” stamped on them.
