Book THEME |
 |
The idea of throwing book parties is a relatively new development that has grown out of the incredible popularity of the Harry Potter books. A book party is basically a party thrown by a group of parents or by a bookstore to encourage the kids to get excited about buying and reading a new book that’s coming out, such as one of the Harry Potter books. Usually the kids really like this because it’s new, fun and they get to stay up past midnight waiting for the earliest possible moment when they can pick up their new release.
You can also throw a book party at home and nothing says you guys have to stay up really late to do it. Lots of retailers let their customer’s pre-order books so they can come in on the day of the books’ release and just pick it up instead of waiting in line. When planning your book party ask all the parents who will be attending if they want to pitch in on a pre-order of the book you are waiting on and then on the day of your book party you can just elect one of parents to go to the bookstore to pick up the books for all the kids. In the meantime keep the kids entertained with games, food, and videos.
The key to decorating for a book party is to make use of the related themes. If this party is for a Harry Potter book, just by example, you can easily find lots of Harry Potter themed party supplies. There are paper plates, tablecloths, napkins, and wall murals, wall hangings, and balloons. You can even get props like wands and wizard and witch hats to place around the party area or have the kids dress up in, heck turn it into a costume party by having the kids come as their favourite characters.

HANDMADE
PARTY SUPPLIES |
 |
Preparing homemade party supplies for a Book Club meeting can be quite enjoyable. Many book clubs are compiled by groups of friends that get together and read, review and compare books. Most often various party supplies such as handmade signs, banners and balloons are perfect for this event. Homemade party supplies such as individual handmade scrapbooks that compare one Book Club to another are also nice. These homemade party supplies are placed in a variety of locations at Book Club meetings.
In addition to handmade scrapbooks, other homemade party supplies such as homemade candles, photo albums and book reviews are placed strategically around the Book Club room to initiate conversation. Homemade signs and handmade banners are also used to recognize the various books and authors that have been discussed, along with homemade centerpieces.
To create a homemade Book Club centerpiece for your table, you will need to take six candles and place in the middle of the table. Then place a book covers around each candle. Once the candles have been covered, strategically place the book covered candles on the table. At this point, the handmade centerpiece will need to be additionally decorated and then placed in a centralized location on the table. Various flowers and other items can be added to give the handmade centerpiece depth and additional flair. Furthermore, this homemade centerpiece will make a great addition to the table as well as add a variety of conversation to the Book Club meeting.
When the kids arrive for your Book Party, some crafts that the kids can make at the party are bookmarks and book plates. These items, along with the books they receive at the exchange can be the goodies taken home from the gathering.

Book Cake Ideas
A book theme cake is all about bringing the pages to life. It is important to make a book cake visually striking to add excitement and interest. In this instance, the cake will be the most elaborate of all your party supplies!
Creating the base of the book cake
Depending on what type of book party is being thrown, multiple levels or single levels will be necessary. For multiple layers of cake, simply bake the layers as rectangles, individually. Stack them upon each other with an icing layer in between to help them stick. Stacking the layers unevenly is best for optimal eye-catching design. After they are stacked ice all layers. You can leave them iced or cover them with fondant.
Adding color and details
The next step is to add color and details to the book theme cake. Consider the colors that are typical for the book theme you have chosen. Pick characters or notable elements from the book to depict on the cake. This could be something as simple as an apple, sword, heart, etc.
Finally, be sure to make sure everything is secure for transport. Sometimes it is best to make removable elements and place them on top of the cake when the cake is stable in its designated place.

Book Party Music Play Lists
A music list for a book themed party is fun to create. Just as a book has many layers and developments, so can your music choice! Is there a specific book theme that the party will encompass? If so, tailor songs that fit that particular theme and style. The music should coordinate with everything including other party supplies.
If it will be a general book themed party, just about any music selection will do. Being that book clubs and other book get-togethers have a range of different ages, it is important to make sure that the song selections do not offend anyone and appeal to a variety of people.
A good place to start might be the top requested songs. Some of these include Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, Bon Jovi’s Livin on a Prayer, Outkast Hey Ya! and B52’s Love Shack. There are also the standard songs such as ABBA Dancing Queen, Sister Sledge We Are Family and Pour Some Sugar on me that will work for just about any themed party imaginable.
A book themed party should be treated like any party – one that is fun, light hearted and uplifting. Keeping the music fresh and entertaining will be well worth the effort in the end.
