Why Have A Polka Dot Party?
A party has so much more zip with a theme, and what's more zippy than polka dots? It's a versatile theme than can be as hip for adults as it is fun for kids. Check out my ideas for polka dot games, decorating, refreshments, and fun!
The first rule of thumb, Do not Be Square ...
Think outside the box, and look at the circles you have around the house. There are many things that you can use for a polka dot theme and once you start searching you'll be seeing dots. Think plates, coasters, poker chips (great for confetti), beads, cd's, swiss cheese, ... Games People Play

Hi from a fellow Party Hosting Group newbie member! I love your site and polka dots. I went to a polka dot party once with my husband. We wore all black and matching polka dot scarves (very long)! It was fun. That was before we had kids. Guess what- the other day my 18 year old daughter (!), who what not yet born at the time of the party, wore it to college!!! Long live polka dots!
