I did a huge party years ago. I blew up balloon, wrote an invitation on, let the air out, pushed it down a bottle and capped it. Then delivered all the bottles. Pulled out all the furniture in one room, taped music in order of social building more and more to a cresendo of louder music and then a using 2001 space odessey drum rolls announced dinner. After dinner music was slower building to fast and ROCK ROLL. We let her rip . It was a wonderful time everybody dressed up. (Pirate theme) Pot Luck although I did most of the food. We had good friends and no drunks just plain good times.
