Sharing the World
- The world is a big place after all and I don't care what anyone says. Celebrating any worthwhile time and space is right at our fingertips. Today's technology allows us to see parts of the world that we never could before without spending lots of money. There really is a way to escape one's own worries and take part in world events. It's called The Arts and I have discovered a wonderful party theme for Sharing the World. It's pretty simple, and very interesting.
The big picture
-
Upon invitation tell your guests to bring a picture, poster or some clear copy of their favorite piece of art work. Explain to them beforehand that the pictures will be hung for display and that they will participate in a kind of "show and tell". I have had friends for years that I became closer with after sharing something artistic. This is a chance to appreciate the unique characteristics of people on a larger scale.
Going all out
- I am also a believer in sharing cultural customs. I hostess gatherings where people from different countries bring something from their homeland to share with other guests. Most Americans have families that originate from another country, so sharing some food or drink from their land of origin gives everyone a chance to appreciate something new and exotic. Full blooded Americans or people who have been in America for many generations may know of special foods or beverages that are unknown to those in modern day America.
I really enjoy these affairs and have enormous success with them. Everyone feels accepted and appreciated. If you try it, I hope that your experience is the same; and don't forget the gourmet desserts!
