Remember: it's all in the details, so don't forget the decorations! You don't need to go overboard; just some garlands strewn about and some confetti-topped tables will do the trick. Pick a color theme and go with it.

What's a party without music? Crank up those tunes and dance. This system allows for way better sound than that old boombox you've been using. Play DJ and create a playlist on your iPod, or put on your favorite dance station on Pandora, and you've got yourself and instant party.
