Party Theme Ideas

A chess-themed party. Guests=1

As we move further away from Christmas, parties are getting less focussed. A party without a reason is a boring party. And there is nothing more likely to lose you your friends than being known for forgettable dull parties.

To be memorable, you need a great theme. “Red”, “Medieval” and “Goldfish” are some of the crappest theme parties we’ve been to.

So, we offer some party theme ideas that are guaranteed to go off like a fire-cracker in a munitions factory.

  • Mass Murderers – think Jim Jones, and replace the punch with poisoned Kool-Aid for a party that may well be the last one your friends ever attend.
  • Come As Yourself parties can make for an interesting change.
  • Teddy Bares – everyone comes as a naked bear.
  • Buck’s Night – the theme is to turn up, get drunk, then strip the buck naked and tie him to a tree. Even more memorable when one of your friends is about to get married.
  • Leather and Lace – guests wear leather and/or lace underwear.
  • Lather and Lace – guests wear soap for underwear.
  • Cowabunga! – come as your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle. Really separates the losers from the cool people. Anyone who turns up in a costume can be safely ignored forever more.
  • Stay Up All Night – all male guests are given two Viagara pills on arrival.
  • Welcome to Dumpsville – everyone has to dump their lover and find a new partner for the night. great to hold if all your friends seem to be getting a little bit ‘cosy’, or you’ve been to one to many “Bucks Night” theme parties.
  • Saturday Night Alone – everyone stays at home. Incredibly cheap to cater. All you need is one bottle of whisky and a pizza.
  • Hannibal – everyone is required to bring their own elephants.
  • Surprise! Surprise! – Issue invtiations for a party at someone else’s house. It’s even better if you don’t know the person who lives there.

    Have a party where you take pictures of everyone in advance and hang their pictures up the party night and use movie memorabilia to make it look like the emmy awards.

    White trash party Every one gets a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer as an invite. You put a car on cinder blocks, and couches on the lawn with pink flamingo. Serve Twinkies, McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries. It’s fun to come dressed as a pregnant lady and then proceed to smoke and drink as much as possible.

    Interview party invite all of your friends over, then start a line outside your designated room of partying. Allow only one guest in at a time. Party, drink, and dance for 10 minutes, then tell them that their time is up because you have a lot of people to party with that night. Maybe invite a second person in to "observe how you party with others". Give them a partying evaluation and tell them you’ll call them in 3 to 5 days.

    Surprise party convince your friend that someone has robbed their house- put the couch on its side, remove prized possesions, hide with the guests in a room with the door left slightly ajar, and video tape him/her as he/she prepares to "attack" the intruder and realizes people care. Ah, they remembered.

    Pakistanian-Israeli Party Upon arrival, everyone is taken into two different rooms. After everyone is there, one room throws a bomb into the other and everyone dies. If there is an odd number of people, the last person gets to be the Peace Broker and stands between the two rooms and ends up being blown up too.
