Top 10 "Gossip Girls" Parties

#1 Kiss On The Lips Party

The first Gossip Girl party has to make the list! The first episode made it quite clear how important parties and events are to the Upper East Siders. It’s lavish, exclusive and the perfect setting to throw down some drama. Compared to future parties, this isn’t the most extravagant one, but being the first makes it memorable.

#2 Masquerade Ball 

 If I had to rank them, the first Masquerade ball would top the list. This was the first over-the-top and all-out party. When I think of a Gossip Girl party, I think of this one. The décor, tone and fashion were astonishing. Being a masquerade, it had an aura of mystery going on, leading to mistaken identities and other mishaps. It was perfect setting for the Upper East Siders to ignite some drama.

#3 Debutante Ball

What is the UES without a debutante ball? Serena and Blair make their debut into society amidst drama and lovely gowns. This rite of passage was unforgettable mainly for the hijinks going on. Serena’s introduction was funny and a little scandalous. Blair was ignoring Chuck’s taunts and intent to do the deed with her escort, Nate. And how can you forget Serena’s gold Nina dress, especially as Dan whisks her away?

#4 The White Party

The Season 2 premiere pops out in my memory because we see our favorite characters in a different setting: the Hamptons. It was a refreshing way to start the new season, and “The White Party” went accordingly with that notion. An end-of-summer celebration, The White Party, welcomed all of Hamptons’ most prestigious. It was flowing and dreamy, which nicely juxtaposed the stories that were happening all the while.

#5 The Opera

Not exactly a party, but when you have a bunch of people all dressed in one building, I say it counts. This party was very eventful, especially for Lily and Chuck, they finally got the chance to exact revenge on the notorious Uncle Jack. In turn, he attacks Lily, and Chuck saves the day. Plus, this all happened at the Opera! How appropriate!

#6 80s Party 

Many were upset that the much anticipated Prom episode was intercut with Lily’s 80’s flashback. At the time, I loved it, and when I watched it the other day, I can now understand some complaints. But still… it’s unforgettable. No doubt we remember the 80s party, it’s distinct enough. The prom itself felt very much like the Kiss on the Lips party. Serena wore an underwhelming dress. However, Blair stole the show with her gorgeous Marchesa gown and her fairy tale night, all thanks to Chuck. Frankly, that’s what made prom so special, everything that Chuck secretly did to make it Blair’s perfect night.

#7 The Speakeasy 

A through-and-through 1920’s Speakeasy (even without a real liquor license), Chuck throws what is considered “the party of the year” at the new club he’s opening. All the characters were dressed in 1920’s glamour, even though the party didn’t last long, enough drama went around stirring things up.

#8 Thanksgiving 

Again this is more of a dinner party, but party nonetheless! While the table and everyone looked very seasonal, it was the drama that went down that makes this one of the Gossip Girl’s greatest moments. It was orchestrated so perfectly; I totally remember tweeting right after: “I just watched the greatest Gossip Girl scene ever.”

#9 The Saints and Sinners Party 

The other masquerade party makes the list! Masquerades really work well with the show’s storylines, so I’m not surprised they did another one in Season 4. I don’t think it’s as good as the first one, but it’s definitely notable. And who can forget that Chuck and Blair moment behind stage?

#10 Chuck and Blair Crash a Bar Mitzvah Party

The last on the list! I know you’re thinking, “what about Season 5 or even 6?” I do think they had some good parties, but my last absolutely favorite one was at the end of Season 4. When Chuck and Blair crash that bar mitzvah, it was one of the most wonderful and emotional scenes of that season. They were finally having their moment together. It was lighthearted, genuine and loving. Despite it being short-lived, it made an impression. I sincerely hope we get another party like that by the end of the season.

As a big fun of Gossip Girl show and a blogger of this Party Planning blog I HAVE TO mention that in that show i have watched the sickest parties ever.Gorgeous dresses and suits, incredible decorations, tons of dishes i have never even seen in my life, mass of famous people such as actors, actresses, and designers, live music, and all this happens almost every episode.

10 Funny & Really Weird Holidays Around The World

1. Peeing Day

Who would have thought that such a routine bodily function would wind up having its very own holiday? Before you can say, defamation of public property, you’ll want to know that New Jersey’s Pissing Day, which is the holiday’s other name, is actually held as a recollection of the Revolutionary War.

History (or was it rumors) has it that American Revolutionary soldiers peed all over the troops of British general Charles Mawhood after driving them out of the Princeton town. Today, every second Saturday of March, Princetonians choose to relive the glory and victory by reenacting the battle, including the post-battle pissing and all.

2. Tinku “Punch Your Neighbor” Festival

This festival has got to be a recipe for neighbor trouble! Every month of May in Bolivia, specifically in Macha and Potosi, people swarm to the tiny town of Macha in order to celebrate this festival. The word “Tinku” means a meeting or an encounter between people, but if you had the chance to get a glimpse the events at this festival, you’d conclude that that translation should really be changed to “beat someone to death.”

In actuality, though, the festival isn’t held for the purpose of hurting people, but for ensuring a good harvest. This is based on the belief that the Goddess Pachamama will grant the people a great harvest as long as there’s a lot of blood, and what better way to get some blood than to beat it out of the next person? Thankfully, the festival today isn’t as great a bloodbath as in past times.

3. Bermuda Day

Another weird holiday is the Bermuda Day held every 24^th of May in the tropical island. This day marks the first day that locals accepted and declared Bermuda shorts as perfectly appropriate attire for business meetings. Weirdness aside, aren’t you green with envy? Who wouldn’t love to be dressed casually and comfortably in shorts while closing enormous business deals? Who said Casual Friday was so exciting?! Being able to wear Bermuda shorts every day of the week is loads better!

4. Kanamara Matsuri or Penis Festival

Every time the first Sunday of April comes around, the locals of Komaki celebrate the greatness of the mighty penis. The genital is hailed as the ultimate symbol of fertility in this Japanese town, and during this festival, everywhere you look (or pretend not to look), you’ll see mammoth illustrations of a penis. There are penis-shaped decorations, penis-shaped candy, penis-shaped candles, and penis-shaped everything. If that cracks you up, wait until the penis-worshipping begins!

5. Korean Alphabet Day(s)

You may have loved singing the alphabet song when you were little, but you probably think it’s too much to have a holiday for the alphabet. Well, the South Koreans don’t think so. In fact, they think it’s only fair that the alphabet get TWO holidays in its honor. They have the Hangul Day, which is held every 9^th of October, and the Chosen gul Day, which is held every 15^th of January.

6. La Tomatina

Visiting Spain during August is sure to be a fun trip for anyone who wishes to engage in the largest food fight to be held annually in the entire planet. You’d also get a kick out of La Tomatina if your favorite food to fight with is an overripe tomato.

Yes, you read that right, an overripe tomato. This is what people will be tossing, smacking, or throwing at each other during this week-long holiday. If food fights aren’t your thing, then you’d better take cover. Watching people pelt each other with rotten tomatoes should be a fun (and funny) thing to behold.

7. Monkey Buffet Festival

Okay, so far you’ve read about beatings, penises, and tomatoes. The next entry on this list of weirdholidays is one that’s held in Thailand every last Sunday of the month November and involves giving honor to monkeys! Based on Thai legends, the mighty hero Rama gave the province of Lopburi to the monkey king Hanuman, and that may be the reason why the Thais have followed suit in giving tribute to that particular animal species.

So if you find yourself in the area during the Monkey Buffet Festival, don’t be so shocked to see a bunch of monkeys feasting on pounds and pounds of vegetables and fresh fruits. If only you could join the feast, right?

8. Bolas de Fuego

Just the sound of that would delight any self-professed pyromaniac, but throwing fuel-soaked flaming rags at other people, which is what happens during this holiday, is definitely a little on the strange side. In other places, other than the town of Nejapa in ElSalvador , this act would land you behind bars. However, since this is an age-old tradition held every 21^st of August that could be traced to as far as 1685, the authorities prefer to turn a blind eye.

9. Gai Jatra or Procession of Cows

On a random day in August in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, you might bear witness to one weirdholiday – the Gai Jatra or Procession of Cows. The way it works is that each household that has had a death in the family in the past year leads a cow through the streets in order to help the dead get to heaven. Contrary to what you may think, this event isn’t as dismal as a funeral. There are plenty of things at this festival that should cheer you up such as upbeat music, colorful parades, and more. Once you get past the weirdness of the occasion, you’re likely to enjoy yourself.

10. Straw Bear Day

This is sort of like Halloween, only instead of kids in costume going door to door for candy and chocolate, it involves a grown man attired in a costume created of straw dancing for beer and food. After completing his rounds, the burning of the bear commences. Luckily, they take the guy out of the costume before setting the straw aflame. This holiday is held every first Monday after Twelfth Night in a British town called Whittlesea.

There are plenty of funny and weird holidays around the world being held throughout the year. If you’re looking to engage in some clean (or not) fun and add a little spice to your life, then you should definitely witness and join these celebrations.

Lately, I was searching through different tutorial videos like "Party Planning" and I found I a young woman who explains step-by-step what she does to throw a party. Here are some of those:
