He was elected president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the organization which was responsible for the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott from 1955 to 1956. He was arrested thirty times for his participation in civil rights activities. He was a founder and president of Southern Christian Leadership Conference from 1957 to 1968. Dr. King's speech at the march on Washington in 1963, his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize, his last sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and his final speech in Memphis are among his most famous. Dr. King was shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968, by James Earl Ray. Martin Luther King Jr. Day party decorations add to the magic of this American celebration.

Cinco de Mayo is a Spanish holiday celebrating the fifth of May. It is honored because it is the day that Mexican Army defeated the French Army, who hadn’t lost a battle in over 50 years. The year was 1862, and the Mexican Army lost the war, but not that famous battle. The United States celebrates as much or more than the Mexicans do. They host parades, dancing festivals and music all day and thru the night.

Invite guests to your celebration with a sombrero or margarita glass invitation. A party supply store will have many accessories to a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Cinco de Mayo supplies such as paper products like plates and napkins can be purchased to match your theme.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with Mexican food and drinks. Serve margaritas, and use virgin ones for the kids and have a toast! Other great food to serve is nachos and dip, burritos, sopapillas, tacos and corn cake. Use traditional Mexican recipes or modify and use American ingredients, which aren’t nearly as hot and spicy.

A Mexican festival uses bright colors to decorate. Balloons and streamers in a wide array of rainbow colors lights up any room. Colors usually involve the rainbow spectrum and mix red, orange, yellow, green and blue for everything. Floral garlands can be hung from corner to corner of the room.

Other items to add to the ambience include fresh flowers for the ladies hair. Sombreros are wide brimmed hats worn by the men. They can be worn or make up an impromptu dance, mimicking the famous Mexican Hat Dance. Many common games can be slightly altered to fit the Cinco de Mayo theme of your party . For example, have the children find all the words they can in "Cinco de Mayo Festival."

Use plastic bottles and make maracas. Fill the empty container with dried beans and seal tightly with tape or glue. Use markers or crayons to decorate. Shake them and dance the night away! Another Mexican tradition is having a piñata to smack and open. Kids of any age like the candy treats that fall out.

This annual holiday was originally organized in 1952 as "National Secretaries Week" by the National Secretaries Association (a.k.a. the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with a consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace. The NSA wanted to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers. Secretaries Day is not an official national holiday, it is a people holiday. This day is celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people for community events, educational seminars, and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff with gifts of appreciation. In the United States cards and bouquets of flowers often arrive on the desk of our Secretaries.

Investigate recipes that consist of ham or have ham in it. Finger foods are good, or anything that you would find on a regular buffet table. Since it is Easter, a holiday that consists of hard boiling eggs, consider using the eggs in your brunch recipes. Eggs can be served on a piece of lightly toasted bread with a white sauce or you can make deviled or stuffed eggs. Almost any meat, vegetable, or fish can be prepared and added to make an appetizing filling to your stuffed eggs. To spruce up your buffet table, decorative plates, napkins and cups, etc. would add the finishing touches to your brunch.

It is time for a Passover party again. Do you have all the necessary party supplies to make this Passover party a hit? Did you know that the history of Passover relates back to over 3,000 years ago, when the Israelites were held as slaves by the Egyptian Pharaoh, Rameses II? During the time when Pharaoh issued his decree to kill Hebrew males, Moses, who later was to lead the Hebrews out of their slavery in Egypt to freedom, was an infant at this time and his concerned mother, Jochebed, placed him in a basket of reeds in the Nile River while Moses' sister Miriam watched from a distance to see who would come to find him. The basket was found by the Pharaoh's daughter, who decided to raise the infant as her own son and named him Moses.

Moses grew strong and became a man. The lord spoke to Moses and set him on the course to looked after the cause of the Israelites. He asked Pharaoh several times to release his people from slavery, and warned Pharaoh that he would devastate Egypt by plagues. Moses inflicted 9 of the 10 plagues, and after all the 9 plagues, the Pharaoh agreed to release the Hebrews from slavery, but quickly changed his mind. After the 10th plague however, he let the Hebrew People go. They left in a hurry, and could only take unleavened bread with them, called Matza, which is a part of celebration even today. The Pharaoh sent his army after the Israelites so that they could be brought back. The People traveled for 40 days and nights, and reached Red Sea, where they saw the emperor's army advancing towards them. In despair they asked for help from Moses, who parted the waters of Red Sea for them to cross. As soon as the Israelites crossed, the Red Sea regained and drowned the soldiers.

In memory of this historical occasion, and keeping with the Passover theme for your party, decorations such as stickers and blowers can liven the party up for the children. Also some game ideas can help to make a successful passover holiday.

If the food coloring idea is a little too much, use things like spinach or asparagus to add a touch of color in a quiche.

If you are hosting the gathering later in the evening, you may want to have a selection of green drinks to serve. A touch of food coloring can turn beer into a holiday treat and fruity mixed drinks can be turned green as well. Snacks like a spread of green dips would be easily served with vegetables, crackers, chips and so on.

A fun little game might be for whoever greets guests at the door to check if they are wearing green. If not give a little pinch and then as a party favor give them a green pin. It's a fun little joke and gives everyone something to talk about.

If you are entertaining a younger crowd you may want to choose a game like pin the pot-of-gold on the rainbow.

The Superbowl is the ultimate championship match for the sport of American football. The game takes place on Sunday afternoon which has became known as Superbowl Sunday and which has ultimately become marketed and treated as a national holiday. Like all holidays, it is a good reason to have friends and relatives over for a party. So be sure to stock up on those supplies for the Superbowl party at your house this year.

The Superbowl is probably best known for its advertisements than the actual football games. Historically the game is watched by over a billion viewers worldwide. And while the actual game play is often lackluster, with few exciting moments, the advertising campaigns that are launched throughout it are just the kind of moments that make the Superbowl party shine. In a world where thirty seconds of advertising time costs upwards of $2.5 million, they often generate more advance hype than the game match up itself. And like the Superbowl, your party would be something to remember for all with a Superbowl theme to match your party supplies.

The Superbowl attracts some of the top celebrities of the music industry to participate in a pre-game show, the singing of the national anthem and performing in the half-time show. For example, in 2006 the pre-game show contained performances by Joss Stone and Stevie Wonder; Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville performed the national anthem; and, the Rolling Stones headlined the half time extravaganza.

Regardless of the game outcome, however, the Superbowl is the perfect time to host a get together for friends and family whether it be tailgating, a barbeque, or a full-blown party complete with party accessories, good food, decorations, and a whole lot of fun.

For every holiday there can be a festive party; a Groundhog day theme party is no different. Groundhog day, February 2nd, has a long history of folklore on which the practice of listening to the animals to protect the changes in weather has been based. For centuries, it has been said that animals contain a certain intuition that better prepares them to identify changes in weather and natural occurrences. As early as the fifth century, the Celts believed that animals contained supernatural powers that enabled them to predict future weather behavior. These supernatural powers were only active on the aspecial day that marked the half-way point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It was important to be able to predict whether or not the spring season was likely to come early in order to best predict the proper sowing time for the crops in the fields. After all, if the seeds were planted too early, and more winter weather followed, the crop production would be very poor. So Ground Hog Day was a very important day for the farmers. So why not celebrate this holiday with a party full of free games to entertain your family and friends.

In German folklore, it was said that if the badger came out of his winter den too early, he would be frightened by his shadow and retreat back inside for four to six additional weeks. In France and Britain, the bear was the animal believed to have the ability to gauge the end of winter. As German and British immigrants came over to America, it is likely that they replaced the badger and the bears with the groundhog because groundhogs were more plentiful in the new country. Wherever you are located Ground Hog day or the equivalent can be a festive time with a party full of party favors.

Did you know that the Chinese New Year is right around the corner? So stock up your supplies now because the Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days! It is is often called Spring Festival. The festival marked the annual planting of the fields. Houses are cleaned from top to bottom in order to insure that all bad luck of the previous year is swept out the door and away from the occupants. An exchange of greetings and gifts is performed between family members and neighbors. Offerings of foods, burning incense, and other gifts are made to ancestors who have passed from this life. Firecrackers are lit to scare off evil spirits. The celebration ends with the Festival of Lanterns which including singing, dancing, lanterns, and games. Some areas also have a parade complete with dragons, floats and drums to scare all evil spirits and bad lucky away for yet another year. Red decorations are still placed upon almost all windows and doors to be sure that Nian, just he is feeling a little hungry, does not return for another snack.

Preparing for the Chinese New Year celebration can be as much fun as the celebration itself with colorful Chinese New Year decorations. Chinese New Year party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Chinese New Year Party Theme.
