24 Of Mary-Kate & Ashley's Best Party Tips
One of the best parts of the '90s was being able to attend one of the Olsen twin's parties... you know, via VHS. Without question, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's You're Invited franchise kept all of us wildly entertained and singing about the gloriousness of sand. If it was up to Mary-Kate and Ashley, you'd R.S.V.P. — and you did. You did every time. But in the age of lazy Facebook e-vites, did you ever really learn how to throw a bash as baller as the twins? I've rounded up the best party tips from the Olsens.
Mary-Kate and Ashley were always changing it up when it came to their iconic shindigs. They somehow managed to always have very different theme parties, as well as a varying group of friends in attendance (none of which would ever last more than one party). I find this all retrospectively suspect. Nevertheless, you and I never got our own iconic 10-episode series about party-planning, so I'm inclined to look back and see just how the twins were always able to make it a song-filled, dog-filled time.
So, get ready for some hot tips from your favorite tween twins. Here is all the sound and solid advice harvested from watching Mary-Kate and Ashley's You're Invited videos.
Like, just off the palm. Very sanitary.
Be sure to set enough time to craft a gorgeous gourmet-looking concoction, but don't even think about party ideas until you're inviting your guests (last minute, of course).
That way you can stress yourself out by organizing everything months in advance one year, and then stress yourself out when your twin drops the ball and you have to organize everything on the day of the next year.
And all theme ideas should be decided via the yellow pages, Google be damned.
"Happy 30th, Madison, you'll be dead someday soon!"
And, of course, give them a generous cut of the candy proceeds.
And then your party just blossoms into a fun Six Flags commercial.
Then recite it upside-down to make a point.
Like, just pick them out of a hat if you have to.
Like this girl.
I guess in the age of memes and smartphones, this doesn't actually sound incredulous, but I just want to take a moment that Brighton brought a framed portrait of her pet to this slumber party.
Like this... horrifying Tina-Turner-meets-Spider-Man visage.
Oh, and maybe you can look up something cool in the yellow pages.
Really get disgusting with your food.
P-I-Z-Z-A.
In Costume Party, they have the ability to go into the future and see what kind of party they're going to throw. Obviously. Obviously.
And somehow cowgirl outfits are involved, but I don't know the specifics of why and how.
This is incredibly convenient, if your mother had the same body as a 10-year-old through at least three decades.
This is like a running joke in the series. They never go for the homework party, which is crazy 'cause it sounds so much more fun than Six Flags.
Like this right here.
It helps if she's tremendously neglectful, and will just let you and your two friends roam around the Mall of America for your... mall party...
OK, but for real — why can't the girl on the left just roast a goddamn marshmallow like the rest of them?
The toe ring will not detrimentally impact the spontaneous fashion show you're putting on.
It's the only way to do it. You can't just get some plastic coconut cups at Dollar Tree like the peasants.
