With the Mayan calendar predicting dire circumstances occurring on December 21 2012 it isn’t too early to start planning the ultimate “end of the world 2012 party.”  Why wait until the last minute to start planning this party to end all parties.  Besides, you won’t have to waste all that time and money on Christmas shopping.  Since the world will end four days before Christmas, you will have plenty of extra money to throw a massive end of the world 2012 party for all of your friends.  And if it doesn’t happen, well, you just tell everyone you had so much faith in the ancient Mayans you didn’t think Christmas was so important at the time.

Since this may be the last party you throw for your friends ( either because it actually is the end of the world or because you didn’t get them a Christmas present) you should go all out on the party favors, food, and drinks.  This article will help you make the most of your final big bash and impress your soon to be non-existent companions.

The cause of the predicted catastrophe is still up in the air.  Some scientists predict the return of planet X said to be called Nibiru by the Sumerians and Babylonians.  This theoretical planet is predicted to return, coincidentally, at the same time as the Mayan calendar’s demise.  There are also theories about solar flares, earthquakes, and asteroid impacts among others.  In any case, there are several party themes to choose from.  Or if you dare, use all of them to assure a modicum of success if something really happens.

                                                             Party Favors

Here’s where it gets tough.  Choosing party favors which fit the theme(s) you have decided to use for your end of the world bash.  Tee shirts with the slogan I GOT SMASHED AT THE FINAL BASH or THE LAST DANCE IS MAYAN.  You get the idea.  Aluminum party hats to reflect the solar flares and give the partier’s time to get the last gulp of NIBIRU HUNCH PUNCH.  Giving out small telescopes at the door is a good idea in case some want to watch the skies for an incoming asteroid or meteor.  Add a pair of sunglasses and a tube of sun block in case the solar flare is the culprit of the worlds demise.  Or you may just pick your favorite apocalyptic ending and go with it.  This choice has to be made by you because you know your friends and what they like or dislike.



                                                                The Guest List

I would advise you to be particular about your guest list  because of the nature of the event.  Highly religious people should not be invited unless you want a sad and boring party.  It’s hard to have a good time when some are praying and wailing about the end of the world.  It messes up the party atmosphere and besides that, one of these guests may decide to bring Kool Aid and everyone will be afraid to drink anything.  Gamblers should not be invited because of their propensity to wager everything on the outcome of the 2012 21 December event.  No matter what happens someone loses everything.  So consider each invitee carefully before you mail them the invitation to your 12 21 2012 doomsday extravaganza. 

                                                           Hyping the Party

For the party to be successful you will have to do a little advertising beforehand.  Include a few flyers inside the invitation which say thing like : According to NASA 12 21 2012 is the time of an eminent asteroid impact on the Earth.  Or, on 12 21 2012 alignment of the planets will cause major earthquakes.   You can also appeal to some peoples vanity by asking them to appear in your 12 21 2012 video which will be on You Tube the next day if there is one.  Again, you know your friends and how to manipulate them one last time.  Party to the end my friend!
