Party Themes and Ideas by Chris Molnar

Chris Molnar is a writer, graphic designer and full-time Dad who always has to think of creative ways to keep his two rambunctious toddlers entertained. He graduated with a B.A. in English and Medieval History, which tells you how out of touch he is with the reality of the working world. (So, err, he earned a graphic design degree.)

After teaching English in Korea and a decade in a variety of corporate cubicles (one of them a converted closet), he now makes a living designing websites and writing online.
