Simple Entertaining- Karaoke Party!

This is a very simple party, and requires minimal effort. As the title suggests, the focal point of the party is the karaoke. I have a machine which has a scoring system at the end, so, after a song is sang, the points are announced. It's lots of fun!!

What you need:
Karaoke machine
Good audio systems
Microphone
Lots of songs cds






Decorations:
No, we can't possibly have a disco ball for just one night. So, let's have it very simple. Place a multicoloured mat, or a striking colour mat in front of the karaoke screen to create a mini stage. Put a tall standing bright lamp near the stage that directly shines on the singer, creating a spotlight.

Menu:
Mini Crossants
Mini Pizzas
Fruit sticks
Lots of drinks
Iced Cold water (Lots of it to quench thirst after singing)
