    One of the features that Free Realms players enjoy is the ability to throw a great party. It's such a popular feature, the Free Realms team has decided to expand it a bit with the addition of two great new items: party planners and party locations. It's pretty simple. Party planners are now located in Sanctuary, Lakeshore, and Briarwood, and talking to any of them will send you to a brand new party area, complete with decorations and cake. (Make sure to click on that cake - it holds a few surprises that you'll enjoy.) The Sanctuary party planner will transport you to a party location behind the Pixiewood sign, Courtney Lakebash in Lakeshore opens up a treehouse party area, and Briarwood party planner Mandy Vide has a party set up in the towers above Tanglewood fort. Of course, party planners are only available to members, but they can invite anyone they choose to their party, member or not. Make sure you check out all of the new party locations, and have fun!
