How about a surfside party? That would be fun.
I would like a 60’s Laugh-In Style Party with pinks and blues that pop, big flowers, and fun dance music.
I grabbed your new blog button and added it to my sidebar.
I blogged about your project/giveaway:

I’d love to see a spin on the backyard BBQ/outdoor movie! Classic, but with a little bit of a twist.
I would love to see a Grease movie theme party-with dancing and the poodle skirts.
I need to throw a bridal shower for my sister-in-law…I asked her what she would like and she said a tea-party without the tea…upon further inquiry she would like to have the feel of a tea party from childhood…very feminine….any ideas for themes on a budget?
I think an old school party modeled after the Gilmore Girls’ dance marathon would be my personal fav ! I hope to one day do one!
I’d love to see a japanese inspired garden party.
Love this idea! It’s awesome. Here are a couple of parties I’ve hosted or have been to that have been tons of fun: 1. Mexican Fiesta! 2. Pie tastings – everyone bring your favorite pie.
Good luck! Can’t wait to see all the fun ideas you come up with. Nice site!
I’d like to see an Alice in Wonderland party – I’ve seen some good ones, but I know there’s a million more ideas out there! I blogged earlier this month about doing a Madhatter’s Tea Party room for my daughter… so fun!
A party inspired by the Japanese culture would be nice
A spring-time, sunshine party!
How about a classic afternoon tea party?
How about a summer barbeque with some fun, attainable decorations and YUMMY food for all ages.

I’d like to throw a “drive in movie” themed party. I have a projector and screen, so I could set it up outside and guests can icnic on blankets. I think it would be fun!

I would love to see a little girls tea party that they could do with grandma.
What an exciting challenge! I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on your blog these past few days (thanks to the imperfect party challenge lol)
and I’m enjoying it so much! Thank you for this giveaway fun. I’m really looking forward to your 30 party creations too…wow!
I would like to see an Olympic party for kids! I’ve been wanting to do a party like that and I would love to see your ideas and get inspired!
I would love to see a party that was kid themed–but for adults of course! bring back all those wonderful memories and unaldulterated joy!
for the grownups, how about a tuscan wine party theme? and the kiddos, i’d love to see something for the tomboys (like my girl!) maybe a girly tool time party or something?
love the challenge, good luck!
Wow, so many good ideas above. I’m almost embaressed by my wimpy idea – but I play a lot of video games/enjoy board game nights, so would enjoy seeing ideas for a party themed along those lines (its hard to do with larger groups of people).
And then I saw suggestions involving wine themes…and I’m pretty sold on those ideas as well.
I think that a new twist on a pool party would be a great idea. Make the food and decorations pool/water themed and have things that the adults can enjoy as well!
How about a Dr. Seuss party? The theme can carry into costume, party games, and even food!
Great contest! A candy shop party would be tasty and super colorful!
Love the Roast & Toast party! For several years, I have hosted an Apple Dippin’ party in the fall. I would love to see your take on one!
I posted about the giveaway at http://whimsicalelegance.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/link-love-3/
I would like to see a Halloween Party for families.
