Themes for Parties!

[BeCcA]

Ok... Its my 21st coming up in a few months, and I am trying to think of a good idea for a theme! I really wanted a tropical kind of theme next to the pool.. But since my Birthday is in winter that probably isnt such a good idea Ive come up with a few but im just not liking them hehe
any ideas?

 

[LFC]

Parties I have been to, and some I have just heard of:

Pick a letter, and go as something starting with that letter, or have all the letters of your name, and people dress as something starting with one.

Traffic Lights, people come dressed in something red, something orange, and something green, and at the end of the night, or by a set time have to have all the same colour on.

Heaven & Hell, people dress as angels or devils.

Superhero, need i explain?

Cartoon/TV character.

I think a tropical theme in winter is a bloody good idea!! Everyone complains when it is cold, so set up some gas heaters or something and make out that it is warm, and everyone comes for a tropical party!!

 

[Tinker]

What about a devils and vixens party!! That'll give the grandparents something to talk about....

Or you could get people to come in their footy colours....



Word of warning - be VERY careful about who you ask of your friends to do speeches....

 

[otaku]

pimps and whores party.

to change it up a bit - have the guys as the whores, and the girls as pimps....

How about an Avril Lavigne party? It matches the way you type and your intelligence. (Of course, this is all assuming people would attend the party)

Only if I get to go as "Sk8ta Boi!"

Why do I always pronounce it "bwar" and not boy?

Just have a party. Theme parties suck.

Gold.

Here's one: all the blokes go as AFL footballers. After everyone has gotten **** faced then they can treat the women anyway they so choose.

Go on, you know you want to...

For my 21st about two weeks back, I had a 70's Casino party. I made up a pretty decent playlist and had a blackjack table, poker table and a bit of tequilla russian roulette going.

Either way, just have plenty of booze and good music and I don't really think anyone would care what theme it is.

Depends on the situation.

If you wanna go out afterwards than you need something that's practable and you can go out in??

There's nothing more annoying than having a themed party and going out afterwards except your in gear that even the bum on the corner would be ashamed to wear.

But if your going to stay at home all night than you can go absolutely nuts.

Traffic Lights - wear red to mean your taken, wear orange to mean you'll see what happens, or wear green to say your in the mood for loving.

Rubix Cube (mentioned earlier) - come in something thats green, red, blue, yellow, white and black (if you don't have enough articles of clothing you can miss a colour or two), and by the end of the night you have to be wearing only one colour.

Football Jerseys - pretty self explanatory

Toga - pretty much you go wearing a bed sheet and undies (or no undies if you so prefer )

Decade Themes (60s, 70s or 80s etc,. etc,.) - pretty self explanatory

Tropical Theme is good - get some sand for your backyard and makes it even better, but its a bitch to clean up.

I must admit I'm not a huge fan of themed parties, if I was going to have one I'd make it pretty general such as a 60s party, with no other specifications, that way people have plenty of different times and events to choose their outfit from (eg hippies, beatniks, early 60s, Beatle hair cuts etc etc). It gives things a theme but also gives a lot of creative license still for the guests, so you don't have everyone showing up looking the same!

But really as others have said, just have heaps of booze and great music and it'll be a great time anyways!

 

[Mr Eagle]

Bad Taste party.

 

[GoEagles]

How about a Medieval Party - everyone dresses up from the yee old ages, English beer, and you can have sword fighting.

Dork. Why don't you just admit you want a dungeons and dragons party, that'd be if you had friends.

 

[Nic]

Funeral party. If it's your party, get some guests to 'eulogise' you. Plus everyone owns black clothes, and they're so slimming!

 

[daicos4ever]

I like the sound of an 80's party. Get those mullets and fluro pink tank tops going... dude.

 

[the fly]

Don't forget to wear a huge jumper with oversized shoulder pads.

 

[lioness]

Or perhaps a ra-ra skirt.......

I'm going to an 80's night tonight. Wearing a parachute tracksuit with shoulder pads.

Have a "Mooster Party" (trademark). Here's how they go:

Buy an insane amount of beer. Regardless of how many people show up, there is more than enough. There is plenty for tomorrow too.

Sit down in the dark. The first hard liquors you think of (RUM! VODKA!) are your hooches. Buy those along with all kinds of girly fruits and girly fruity mixes. Unless you have something else on hand naturally (like Scotch) then those two are it. If someone asks for anything else - say, "If I had known you wanted that, I would have told you to bring some for yourself, arseh*le." If they ask for bourbon, toss them out.

Buy sweet white wine, and chill it several days in advance. This is for the girls. Normally, a guy has to keep this on hand at all times, but hidden from his guy friends. If your guy friends discover sweet white wine in your fridge (other than during a bona-fide party) , you get called 'gay boy' for 72 hours. Nothing you can do about it either. This isn't easy, is it?

Prepare an enormous amount of food. Don't be tempted to order pizza. It isn't going to be enough regardless of how much you buy. Even if it is enough, after five hours of paryting, the best pizza becomes crusty cheese covered cardboard. Learn how to make party food in massive,continuous quality & quantity, or don't throw a party, lame-ass.

Ice. If your bathtub isn't full of bags of ice, you are wrong. Don't dump out individual cubes in there either. All it takes is one ****head prankster to pee in it, or one drunk to puke in it and the whole lot is shot to hell. Packed in bags, you can salvage defiled ice. It will last longer in bags too.

Remove all firearms and swords from the house. If you need a weapon at some time through the course of the evening, improvise like a ninja. If you possess no ninja skills, you deserve to die anyway.

Go to a home decor warehouse, and buy lots of cheap stuff you don't mind getting broken. During the party, you can break some of this crap deliberately. This may spare some of your valuable stuff. Without doubt, something of intense value is going to be broken, but if your stupid guests can get it out of their systems with the cheap stuff, you're ahead of the game.

Remove all phones from the premises and store them in the 'boot' of your car. You don't want any phone calls. There will be cell phones on the premises in abundance, but make sure your home landline is out of there. This prevents your friends wives and real girlfriends calling, and hearing the raucous party in the background. "Is there a party going on? Is Steve there, Mooster!!!??" Eat me. If Steve is too stupid to turn off his cell phone, that's his problem. My phone will not be anyone's problem.

Block access to your own bedroom. Set out plenty of extra mattresses in your spare room. You don't want people in your own bedroom. That's for you.

At some point in the party, a drunken couple will get into a drunken couple argument. Most likely the girl will storm off in a huff. Don't be tempted to yell after her, "Get lost you troublesome bitch!" Because she will be back anyway. At which time there will be more argument with the drunken couple. She will cry some more, but she won't leave again. She will instead disappear to a vacant room. This will be the spare room, and not your own bedroom, of course.

The guy will say, "**** her! I'm sick of her ****!" The girls will go to the room with the crying girl and spend 29-39 minutes consoling her. After that period of time, one of the 'reasonable' girls will come out, talk to the guy and convince him to go to the vacant room to talk to the girl. He will resist, for five minutes. Finally, after this acceptable, manly period of time he will allow himself to be 'reasonable' and go talk to the girl in private.

None of this is actually reasonable. But what do you care? You crank the music, and man the blender for another round of rum margaritas. Besides, you knew all this drama was going to happen - even if no one else did.

It's about this time that people begin to arrive, and you have no freakin' idea who they are. Some of them may be under-age. If they get into a girl/boy argument, show no mercy. Toss under-age drama kings & queens straight the hell out. You have no time for their bull****.

The new strangers will have brought some cheap booze and cheap beer. After about twenty minutes, they will be drinking your own booze and beer. They they think they are being clever. Actually, you don't care. Let them think they are clever. Let them drink your booze and beer. You bought plenty. If you didn't buy enough for everyone plus everyone else, you are the one who sucks - not the gate crashers.

By now, you have noticed that you haven't seen the argument couple for a good half hour. They are having make-up sex at about this time. As you congratulate yourself once more for having kept your bedroom off-limits, you hear a loud CRASH! and something breaking. This was something valuable. Be cool. If you are the least bit curious, investigate to find out who did what. The reason? If the person who broke your valuable item is the same person who's valuable item you broke at their house at the last party, they now have to (finally) shut up about it.

Not long after the horrible noise of your valuable item being broken, you hear something worse. Worse even than the drama of the squabbling couple. Someone has commondeered your stereo and is now playing crappy music. It's something they brought themselves, because you don't own any crappy music. Once again, be cool - but you do have to stop this. If you are supplying the party house, the booze and the food, you in no way have to tolerate crappy music. You are not the one being rude in this instance. Stop the crappy music pronto white boy.

Ok. By now the booze has got to the girl's bladders. No way in hell will the guys get a shot at the bathroom other than to beg out more bags of ice - which the women will pass through a partially opened door. As owner of the house, you can go in the bathroom, close the door, talk to the girls, get ice and talk to them while they pee. The cool thing is you are 'breaking the ice' in a big way. Casually chatting them up while they drunkenly urinate provides an intimacy level that will prove to your advantage later when you are deciding when to crack the seals on your bedroom. Bonus if you have a sick fetish watching women pee. I myself do not, but I do it anyway for the reasons mentioned. Plus I need more ice as someone has brought a stock of strawberrries and we are making the switch to rum & vodka daiquiris.

Go outside like the rest of the men to take your own leaks. You will notice some young guy laying on the grass puking. If he is unconscious and puking, turn him on his side so he doesn't aspirate. Then pee on his crotch. He deserves this, and when he wakes up, he'll think he did it anyway.

Go back inside. Out-party everyone else. If you work nights like I do, this is easy. 4 AM is like noon to you. People are starting to crash. They can now gain access to your spare room with the spare mattresses. Someone is asleep on the couch. Consider peeing in a cup and wetting his crotch too. If you do, toss him outside with the other schmuck. Pair up, go to bed. Don't think about the mess you have clean up. Thinking about cleaning house will dob up your testosterone levels, and added to the amount of alcohol you've consumed, you may have a softy.


That's how to throw a "Mooster Party" (trademark)

Peace,

Nah a Medieval Party would be a lot better. Hire out come of those mechanical bucking bulls and have sword fights (closest to a knight on horseback),
