How to Organize a Red Shoe Party
Ask your party guests to wear red shoes, and throw a "red shoe party" Hans Christian Anderson would be proud to host. If money is no object, let your guests dance until dawn at a glitzy party venue with a host of entertainment, or host a modest party at home. Either way, turn it into a party to remember with some careful and imaginative planning to make it a magical occasion.

Plan the catering. Decide what type of food to serve at a party buffet to reflect a red shoe theme. For instance, have an iced red shoe cake, or decorate cupcakes with marzipan red shoes. Savory snacks could be shaped like shoes. Consider how and when you are going to make the food and if you need to recruit volunteers to help. Or hire professional caterers for the event, depending on its size and lavishness.

Buy food and the alcohol from your local super-mart, if organizing the food yourself. Purchase a wide range of alcohol and get champagne to be drunk out of a new high-heeled red shoe for a party dare.

Organize the decorations. Be imaginative. Use red ballet shoes filled with small posies of red flowers as table centerpieces. Place a trail of red footprints on the white tablecloth made out of red napkins. Hang red and white bunting around the room and affix red balloons, bows and red shoe decorations. Make red shoe decorations out of red card stock or stuffed velvet fabric.

Hire a disc jockey or professional entertainers for your red shoe party. Discuss what type of music you wish to be played to reflect the red shoe theme. Or find songs that have "red shoes" in the lyrics and create your own dance mix to impress your guests.
