And the nominees are...(please vote!)

I have a bunch of other awards to hand out from my Blogoversary Party Party (stay tuned), but I need your help with the big "Party in a Package" Prize. For this award, I was looking for the parties that took a theme and went with it, used ideas I haven't seen or thought of before, and made me want to host a party just to copy those ideas. And the nominees are....

Polka Dots--by Dukes and Duchesses. The Twister tablecloth and Dippin' Dots ice cream are clever, but I am in love with the party chains made from those button candies.



Academy Awards by Joanne--So many fun details here, like the walk of fame with guests names:



but I am really gaga over the chocolate Oscars. Just look at this presentation!


Airplane party by Michelle--I LOVE the invitations!

And Look at the runway table! I didn't realize that she had actually lit up the runway at first glance. Isn't that cool!



Prehistoric but not Extinct Party by Brooke--Funny Fun and stylish party for someone who is over the hill. Just look at what you can do with some faux fur!




Movie Night Series by Donna--So this isn't just one party, but a whole series of them. Each summer Donna hosts movie nights in her back yard, on her large projector. For each movie, she picks coordinating food and table spread. Like these:



Indiana Jones

& Mary Poppins

Don't you want to be her neighbor? Anyone have a projector and screen they want to give me, so I can copy?

I thought I had a winner, but keep changing my mind. Help me pick our grand winner by voting in the poll on the side! And thanks to everyone for making it a great party!
