How to throw a 'Frozen' theme party

The movie Frozen was a smash hit. I never saw the movie, but as movies go that create a craze, I didn’t have to.

I heard the theme songs. I know the names of all the characters. Because with that kind of popularity, you can’t help but know. Every little girl within 20 feet of me is still singing and dancing along to the movie in their heads.

That my friends, is when you know you’ve reached greatness.

A birthday with Anna and Elsa

Every child dreams of meeting, or being, their hero. Walt Disney knew this when he placed his epic characters throughout the fantasy land of Disney World. He created the magic, and the children flocked with parents in tow.

So it’s no surprise that millions of little girls are wishing for a Frozen theme birthday party this year. And as parents, it becomes your job to re-create the movie magic.

Here are some of the essential elements to creating the perfect party.

·         Get snow, early

·         Make a list

·         Freeze the party

Don’t sweat. We’ll help you navigate the stress of throwing an epic birthday party fantasy. And create your own winter wonderland.

Get Snow
Ice Now
 
Ice companies provide snow delivery anywhere you need it. And for a Frozen party of epic proportions, you must have snow.

Prepare by scheduling your delivery early. Aim for at least a month in advance but the earlier you call, the more likely you will be able to secure the date you need. Nothing would be worse than moving your party date because of procrastination. And there are only two reasons a party like this must be moved:

1.       The birthday child is sick or

2.       You forgot to get snow

Make a List

Do you hate making lists? Too bad! This is your little one’s birthday!! (Just kidding.)

But seriously, birthday parties require two lists.

1.       Who will get invitations and

2.       What you need to do.

The first list will help form the second.

Is the party going to be limited to an intimate friend and family affair? The class? Or will it rival the Royal wedding of Kate and Will? Keep in mind the location you’ve chosen and how many people it can comfortably handle. Fortunately, for this party indoor and outdoor space can be utilized as long as rain isn’t in the forecast.

Freeze the Party

Here’s where the magic happens. Let your imagination go wild. And if your imagination is in hibernation, just take a few tips from these super moms and dads.

3 Margarita Recipes Bartenders Don’t Want You to Have


 
If you’re like most Arizonans, you fall into at least one of three categories:

·         The One who Likes to Entertain

·         The One who Likes to be Entertained

·         The One who Becomes the Entertainment

(Hopefully, if you fall into the latter category, you’re there for all the right reasons!)

But the truth is, the temperatures are rising and spring is quickly making way for hotter temps and pulling valley residents outdoors for something fun. Nothing is better than outdoor entertaining with family and friends. And if Arizona is the ‘Valley of the Sun,’ then those who live there are definitely the ones who get together in the sunshine.

Summer time is perfect for parties, lakeside get-togethers, and Barbecues. Who needs a reason? We’ll make one! Arizona loves to celebrate every occasion.

Mix up a Southwestern Summer Margarita

Summer entertaining means a killer margarita must be in-hand. And if you’re the party planner, you have two options: Either you can serve a pre-made syrup or ‘Wow!’ the crowd with these recipes that your local bar tender rather you not know how to mix.

 Go ahead, serve the freshest chilled drink on the market. One that’s homemade for an extra measure of bragging rights.

We’ll provide the party ice and you provide the Tequila.

Sweet Phoenix Strawberry Margarita

9 oz. Tequila

8 Large Fresh Strawberries

24 oz. Crushed Ice

6 tsp Sugar

Blend on high in an electric blender until smooth. Serve in a chilled glass with straw and strawberry garnish. Rub the rim of the glass with lime and dip in sugar. Serves 6.

Sahuaro Watermelon Margarita

9 oz. Tequila

3 oz. Lime Juice

1.5 oz. Agave Syrup

6 Slices Watermelon

16 oz. Crushed Ice
