INAUGURAL BALL STIMULUS:TIPS FOR THE PERFECT PARTYMake sure your guests say, "Yes we can!" to your invitation to celebratethe upcoming inauguration of our 44th president.Here are some ideas tostimulate a positive response: Send an Obama Inaugural Ball/Bye Bye Bush invitation with a 21approval rating, guests may want to say good-bye to Bush as much as they wantto say hello to Obama. Get out the confetti cannon but not in the invitation; what a mess! Start early it's a school night. Invite your guests to wear their star-spangled best, but don't insist some people participate, some people speculate. Offer up some great but not too cheesy favors red, white and bluetinsel maracas are fun, but personally I'd rather be promised a DVD of mesinging the karaoke version of The Times They Are a-Changin' by Bob Dylan. Include fun menu items whether it's Obama-Mama MaiTai's, Huli-HuliChicken (barbequed chicken straight from Hawaii) or The Economy is Coco-NutsUpside Down Cake.Food and drink are the number one reason people go toparties (oh, and maybe a good band).
