If you're planning on having a themed party, an Elvis party may be just the theme for you. You've got Elvis movies and music for entertainment and there's no limit to the "Elvis favorites" you can serve up as food and snacks at your party. Because Elvis is such a prominent figure it is simple to put together decorations.
There's a lot of entertaining games and activities that you could play at an Elvis party. You can take an Elvis CD and play the first couple of bars of a song then have your guests try to name that song; or play a portion of a song then pause it and have people attempt to complete the line. You could also study some facts about Elvis and create some questions for a trivia game or a quiz with a prize. Here is some information about Elvis that you could utilize to make some trivia cards or questions.
Elvis Presley broke into the American music scene in 1956, however he'd been well-known locally in Memphis for some time beforehand. He promptly became synonymous with the new rock'n'roll music and adolescents all over the place took him to their hearts. His sensual performing style whipped his female fans into a frenzy, which in the beginning induced much criticism in the media - but the resulting publicity did his career no harm at all. After he was drafted and did his service in the U.S. Army, without complaint or favors, opinion about him in the media began to change, and when he came back his new, mature style helped him be able to reach an even larger audience.
Not satisfied with being quite possibly the world's most famous singer, he also went into movies and quickly took Hollywood by storm. Throughout his career he was in 31 movies - all of which were a success at the box office - and in the mid 1960s he was the highest paid actor in Hollywood. After he returned to doing concerts in the seventies his shows in Las Vegas became legendary, and he was before long known as the "World's Greatest Entertainer".
One snack that Elvis preferred above all others was peanut butter and banana sandwiches. If you are planning an Elvis party this snack is a must serve. The way Elvis preferred them is to toast the bread first, then spread on peanut butter. Next slice the bananas and put them on the peanut butter. It is a terrific snack which will certainly put a smile on your guests' faces.
If you want to kick back and relax, you can finish out the party with an Elvis flick, or, if you've got a little bit more rowdy crowd, you could try a little Elvis karaoke or an "Elvis hips" contest in which you see who is able to imitate Elvis's dancing and those famous hips.
An Elvis party can definitely be loads of fun and leave your friends talking about your party for years to come. It will be one of a kind and original and most likely different than any other party your friends have ever been invited to. "It's now or never", deliver those invites and hopefully you will not receive them back with "return to sender" stamped on them.
