The Ultimate Blog Party
Are You Coming?
The Christmas decorations are packed away, the party season is over and we still have two long months of winter stretching out before us…
We need something to shake things up. So pull out your prettiest dress, get your hair done, and come on over!
5 Minutes for Mom is hosting The Ultimate Blog Party!
This will be the place to be. Get your blog noticed, win prizes, hang out with your friends and meet some new ones.
Here is how it will work:
- Invite your friends
Put our Invitation Button on your sidebar and write a post inviting all your friends.(I have always loved BIG parties – the bigger the better. I hate to be exclusive – so EVERYONE is invited!)
Simply copy and paste the following code into your sidebar and it should look like the button you see below.
Come on over to the party
It will be a week long bash starting March 2, 2007 and ending with the big prize giveaway on March 9, 2007.All party guests who sign the Mr. Linky by 12pm Eastern on March 8, 2007 and who invited guests (invited friends via a post and have an Invitation Button on their blog) are eligible for our random draw prizes. Prizes will be announced at 5 Minutes for Mom at 7pm Eastern on March 9, 2007.
Note: Please use only the central Mr. Linky at 5 Minutes for Mom. Since only bloggers listed on this Linky will be eligible for prizes, we don’t want anyone to miss out by adding their name to another Linky. Please link directly to your Ultimate Blog Party post or have your Ultimate Blog Party post as a sticky at the top of your home page.
- Don’t forget you are hosting too!
This Blog Party is all about meeting people – so put out some food, turn up the music and tell us a bit about yourself.Yes – what would a party be without small talk? Be as funny, creative or straight forward as you like. Include a recipe or two, stream some music or videos, add a voice post or video of yourself, decorate your place – whatever will put you in a party mood. Be creative and have fun!
- Submit a prize (optional)
Our prize page will be generating a lot of traffic and attention. So if your blog or store wants to submit a prize let us know.Everyone is welcome to host a prize. All prizes will be listed on our Ultimate Blog Party Prize Page. The page will be continually updated with new prizes as they are submitted.
Please Note: Prizes must be for something FREE. Discounts on products and services will not be included. If you are providing a gift certificate, it must be for an amount that can purchase an item.
Only party guests (signed the Linky and invited guests via a post and Invitation Button) will be eligible to win prizes. All prizes will be awarded by a random draw. 5 Minutes for Mom (Janice and Susan) will not be eligible in the draw. Prize hosts will be responsible for sending their prize to their winner. If a prize host wins their own prize, their name will be put back and a new name will be drawn.
- Get out there and MINGLE!
Don’t sit in a corner and only chat with people you know! Search the Linky and look for names you don’t recognize and head on over to their place to meet some new people. - And Then… and this is so fun we are just so excited…
The week after the Blog Party, write a post and introduce some of the new bloggers you met at the party.
So there you have it. If you have any questions, just contact us.
We can’t wait – see you soon!
PS – A huge thank you to Heather from Swank Web Style for the fabulous button and banner.
Edited to add: Just to clarify, everyone is invited, regardless of parental status, gender, religious affiliations, etc. This party is about having fun with friends and meeting new people.
Another Note: Just to clarify – the week of the party you just need to put up ONE party post. The rest of the week you blog as you normally would. But please link the URL of your party post in the Mr. Linky so that others can find it – or put it as a sticky at the top of your home page.
Still have some questions? Want to know more about Mr. Linky? Read our Frequently Asked Questions post.

Hi guys! Just submitted an awesome prize (though I say so myself) of 10 copies of our special CD for kids, a completely original exclusive CD called “Be My Own Hero – Loving Affirmations for Kids”. Hopefully we are in time so please check it out on the prize page soon!
Happy Blog Partying,
Cassie
Okay, I’m here.
Let’s eat!
Woohoo! A party! A xanga friend passed this invitation on to me! What a great idea! Now if I can just find Mr. Linky???
I belong to a blogring on Xanga that is holding it’s first anniversary with a huge party of our own in Dallas, Texas later this month! I’ve invited all my friends to your party too!
I’ll definitely have this on my sites.
I am new to the blogging world, I do not have one of my own yet, but I really enjoy reading the blogs I have come across. Melissa at Little Woolgatherings is a friend from high school who sent me this way. This is such a neat idea! I look forward to meeting new people and finding new blogs to check out. I am a consultant with Heritage Makers, a digital online scrapbooking and storybooking company. We provide you with the tools and support to create beautiful, professionally hardbound books to preserve your family memories through pictures and story. I would love to share this with you.

Thanks for the invitation!
rock on!!!! Who’s bringing the rum?
I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon this website, but I’m glad I did!
OK- I don’t think my first post worked- but the icon is on my blog and I’m ready to party!
Okay, putting up button and posting, right now!
Super cool! I’m posting it on my blog now! I love a good and BIG party!
This is HUGE!
Love it! I’m in..
New blogger, here at the last minute, but i think this is great! Count me in!
I have been ‘hovering’ and meaning to join since before it started! Wow…talk about a procrastinator! And busy Momma….Whew! I’m in!
I am with Maria from the UK I don’t quite get how this all works….I’m a bit thick… But I get a sense of the excitement of partying with other Lady Bloggers and I love cruising the sites.
Thanks!
I signed up by Mr. Linky, and I saw my website appear on the list. I put in the Party button and post, and saw the pingback in the comments section . I did get visitors and comments through the party.
But now, my listing is completely gone! I can’t find it at all, and I don’t know if I am still listed, why it disappeared, or if I got entered in the contest.
Darn… I found out about this just a little too late..
( Let me know if you do it again. I would love to participate.
Um Kris, I just arrived and you thought you were late? I noticed no one is around, including you. Wow, what a party, look at the mess! Even the frozen margarita machine is empty!
No wonder my kids laugh at me and tell everyone: “she doesn’t get out often.” *sigh*
Oh, I missed all the fun! Will there be another one this year?
I would love to get involved in the next go ’round!!
I’m sorry to have missed it.

PUtting the notice up now.
Also you’ve been tagged! Please come share your “story” at my post entitled, “MY Story.” Thanks.
I want to tell everyone about the great websites I found for party invitations. These sites,
http://www.cardspersonalized.com
http://www.cardsshoppe.com
http://www.express-invitations.com
have all kinds of party invitations, and have their invitations cards divided into categories. This makes it easy to find the type party invitation I was looking for.
The thing I liked most about these sites is that I was able to find the image I wanted, then add my personalized message using the ink color, typestyle and fonts I wanted, and then instantly preview my new card. WOW, was that cool!! They also printed and shipped my order the same day I ordered. I could not find any other place on the internet who did that. They are GREAT!!
My family loves the holidays, beginning with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Mardi Gras so we always have lots of parties. This year I decided to find real unique holiday cards that I could write my own holiday party invitation wordings. I found three great sites, Halloween Party Invitations, Scary Halloween Invitations and Christmas Invitations. I added all three sites to my favorites and ordered from Holiday-Invitations and was very pleased. I got lots of compliments, and was so happy. It made the holidays extra special!
Great idea!
Can’t wait, where is the mr. linky at? I couldn’t find him?
im down
zippidy do dah
every party is surely of fun!
i wont to be in the blog party a friend told me about it.
damn, 2 years too late
Really fun idea!
I’ve posted my button – can’t wait to party!!!!!
This is my first blog party – and it is great!!
This is a excellent resources for all to giving together information about pregnancies.
Nice blog, if you need any help with crowd control at the party, the wristband company I work for can help in many ways.
Thanks Lee Ann
Great ideas
There have been many events I have been to over the years. I’ve seen all kinds of entertainment. Live performers off all kinds. What I like most is live music at an event. A good live band is the best any party or event could ever hope for. Not surprisingly the opposite is so true. :
The most fun I have ever had though without question is when I have taken advantage of sitting in on a photo booth when they have them at a party. These days they are getting very modern and fancy. It used to be a few people in a box. I love those too. the newer variety that come with photographers with editorial backgrounds and creative imaginations are something else.
I think holiday season is never over. As long as you are willing to celebrate, there is always a reason!
Ahwh…late again to this party!
This looked like a lot of fun, I’m always late to these things – ohhhh welllll
