Let us share with you these party theme ideas for you to have that memorable Debut Party. We found out that these unconventional party ideas are good enough and will surely be remembered by your loved ones and guests.

According to debutideas.com you can have your Debut Party with these themes.

Foam/Bubble Parties
If you and your friends love to dance, foam creates that wild and exciting atmosphere for a great bash. Tip: Too expensive? No worries. Create your own bubbles. If your parents and guests aren’t too conservative, you can still keep that program of yours. You can still dance with the 18 men in your life through the foam and in place of the candles for your 18 girlfriends you can do something like 18 Bubble Blows so they can wish you good luck.

Costume Party
A talked-about party is not always about the host. If you want yours to be memorable, make it interactive by making your guests part of the show too! Get your friends to talk about your party weeks before the event itself. Ask your friends to come in costumes and be surprised at how fun it is to see everyone dress up as characters and celebrities. Tip: Make it worth your guests’ while, let your friends know that awards (gift certificates from spas and salons, or tickets to a concert if you feel generous) will be given to those who sport the best costume. This way your friends are challenged to look for the most unique costume, therefore making your party more interesting!

80’s Party
Blast from the past and ask everyone to be in 80’s attire. 80’s clothing trends are now in style so though your theme is not new, you’d be on top of a trend. Tip: Hire a great band that specializes in 80’s music. Get ready to boogie on down!

Grammy Awards Night
Get everyone to wear formal and make your friends feel like celebrities by having people stand as paparazzis as people enter. Design your location into a formal theatre. Give out fun awards (best “friend”, best male dancer, etc) Tip: Want to create the best cinematic atmosphere? Greenbelt rents out one of its cinemas just for parties and events like these.

Casino Party
What a great way to celebrate your adulthood than to play something only adults supposedly are allowed to play. Set up poker tables and prepare fake casino chips allotted for each guest for them to play with. Tips: you can give out finger foods and “cocktail” drinks (juices and softdrinks in wine glasses:) to add to the atmosphere. Put up redemption centers for those who want to “cash-in” their chips.

Pool party / Beach party / Luau
Have fun with the summer sun and enjoy a relaxing party at the pool or beach. Hold beach games and serve barbequed food and refreshing fruit shakes. You can even opt to ask people to come in Hawaian outfits. Tips: Set up your stereo with some relaxing tunes everyone can either relax, dance or sing to. Music creates the atmosphere here so make sure your guests are enjoying it.

Kiddie Party
Are you the fun and playful type? Hold a birthday party at Mcdonalds or Jollibee and bring out the child in everyone. Hold childish parlor games like palayok, pabitin and trip to Jerusalem games. Bring out great childhood memories with mascots like Ronald Mcdonald or even Jollibee himself. Tips: To add to the atmosphere, hire magicians, clowns and balloon twisters. Rent out “dirty” ice cream trolleys, cotton candy machines and give it out to guests for FREE! People will surely love your party. If your friends are fun and cooperative enough, you can even ask them to come in kiddie clothes. In place of your program you can do something like 18 Ice Cream Toasts or 18 Balloons where balloons are popped after your friends address their little speeches for you. (Tammy Lim of Spunk)

From the town proper, you can reach Abby’s Garden Resort in 5 to 8 minutes.

Below are some tips on how to enjoy a day tour in Abby’s Garden Resort with side trips around Taal.

1. Make sure you are detached from anything that has connection with work or whatever is stressing you out. That’s why it’s called daycation (day vacation). Doing this includes not bringing your laptops with you.

2. If you arrive in our resort at around 7:30am, settle yourselves in our hotel then afterwards, have your breakfast. If you don’t have food along with you, we can have meals prepared for you (on extra charge).

3. At 9am after you have your breakfast and a little rest, enjoy our swimming pool until 10am if you’re conscious about the sun’s harmful rays. Check this post about skincare tips.

4. You can enjoy the garden, have an impromptu picnic and catch up on what you’ve been missing on each other (whoever you are with).

5. Have your lunch either in the resort or around town, which is also a good segue to your trip in the Heritage Town. Dine in at a restaurant that has tapang Taal in their menu.

6. Start your field trip around Taal. First stop, visit the largest Catholic Church in Asia, the Basilica of St. Martin de Tours. Then roam around the Heritage Village where you’d get to see the ancestral houses of the most notable families in town and even in the whole of Batangas. Casa Conchita is the house of Ogie Alcasid’s family, who are natives of Taal.

7. Taal, with its Vigan-like heritage village, is an interesting location for photo-ops. So make sure you bring along a reliable camera to capture moments of your Taal visit.

8. Go to the Taal Public Market. Here are what you should bring home with you: tapang Taal, panutsa, longganisa, suman, and their very delicious empanada. Of course, you wouldn’t want to miss checking out stores that sell Batangas balisong (butterfly knife).

9. At around 2:30pm, you can head back to Abby’s for an afternoon snooze. Our comfortable hotel rooms will lull you to sleep. By 3:30pm, you can either take another dip into the pool or munch in some of the empanadas and suman you bought from the market.

10. By 5:00pm, you can head back home from a fun-filled daycation!

Here are some tips on how to plan your summer themed wedding especially for those who are in a rush and would want to tie the knot by summer this year.

1. Casual wedding invite (with floral prints or anything that reflects yours and your groom’s childhood summer)

2. Use vibrant colors and natural decorations for wedding reception set-up

3. Cakes that scream summer hues

4. Quirky and fun wedding favors to match the season

5. And, don’t forget the cocktails and mocktails for the after party!

Avoid skin aging, rashes, age spots and the worst, skin cancer. You have to choose the right sun screen that will protect you from these harmful effects of sun rays.

Here are some tips from an article I have read from foxnews.com.

1. Look for sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide with an SPF of 15 or higher. SPF 15 blocks 93 percent of all incoming UVB rays; SPF 30 blocks 97 percent; and SPF 50 blocks 98 percent.

7. Check your vitamin D levels. If you are deficient, you can be more vulnerable to getting skin damage. High vitamin D levels can protect against sunburn.

So before you go out to swim or do outdoor activities, make sure to apply sunscreens and other stuffs that will protect your skin.
And hey, let me add one thing more, you can also get skin diseases from swimming pools especially if it’s not as clean as what Abby’s Garden Resort has.
