Dulcinea's Insight
- Before you start surfing, consider making your own list of party considerations. How many guests will you have? Are there any special dietary considerations? Do you have a theme in mind? Knowing what you want, even in a broad sense, can help you figure out which Web sites, ideas, and supplies will be most useful to you.
- Because the Web presents so many enticing party ideas, it may help to organize the things that catch your eye—a sort of Web scrapbook. Consider creating a page of links to pages you like. Later, you can go back easily, without having to search all over again.
- You don’t need to box yourself into a single party theme. Although the sites below give specific styles, it is possible to use aspects of several different party ideas to create your own.
