Holiday season is upon us and it's great.  Everyone here at Party411.com are big fans of the holiday season because we love an excuse for awesome office parties.  Of course it's hard to celebrate the New Year here at the office because people are off taking cruises and generally enjoying vacation time.

To celebrate our inability to celebrate ringing in the New Year with each other, we decided to give you all a fantastic treat and have a giveaway, a New Year's Eve package giveaway. We're giving away a great deal of fun New Year's Eve decorations and party supplies.

All you have to do is go to our New Year's Eve giveaway page, sign up for the newsletter and you're in.  The contest ends December 21 2009.  Even if you don't win Party411.com can help you throw a New Year's Eve party!

"For a yummy, fresh, 4th of July treat one year I made red white and blue stars and stripes jello bowl. I made blueberry jelly and used a star mold and made a tray of red jello that I cut up into squares (or rectangles). I put the blue stars along the sides of a clear glass bowl and filled with cool whip and the red 'stripes'. It festive looking, absolutely delicious and a big hit at the BBQ!!"

What’s a DAME to do?! Review and Giveaway

Sometimes working at a Party411.com can be like one big, ...well, party! We got to test drive a fun game called What’s a DAME to do?! and we really had a blast. It's a party game made for 2 to 8 women (ages 17 on up), and since our office 88% female it is a good fit for us. Read on to learn how you can win a What’s a DAME to do?! game for your next party!

 

The game is very simple. Each player takes a turn as the Dilemma Dame, and reads out a dilemma card (e.g. "I see an Ex at the grocery store, 2 aisle away, and I am NOT looking my best, what's a Dame to do?!"), and the other players contribute from their hand of cards a possible reaction that either fit the situation (Suck in your stomach) or are just really funny (Use pepper spray). Points are awarded for the reaction that matches the "Dilemma Dame's" choice or very funny dilemma/reaction combos.

My favorite dilemma/response combos during our game –

• During an elegant dinner party, I shift in my chair and it emits a loud and rather embarrassing sound, what's a Dame to do?

•  - Yell fire!

• As I enter an elevator my arm accidentally hits a guy's groin area, what's a Dame to do?

•  - Pretend you are on a scavenger hunt.

We were laughing so hard the whole time, and we played much longer than we intended to (who wants to work anyway?).  We all agreed that this would be the perfect party game because you can play a round, then stop to chat, and pick up the next player without getting confused about what is going on. It would be a great game for a girls night, a playgroup or even a bridal or baby shower.

The printed directions were a little confusing, but you can see a quick video on GamesforDames.com that explains the gameplay in less than 5 minutes. I can see us using this game quite a bit, so I hope they put out an expansion pack!

You can pick up the game at GamesforDames.com.

Or, you can try and win a What’s a DAME to do?! game for yourself.
