Ah, theme parties. What better way to greet spring than with booze and costumes? Some classic theme parties are good all year round-cowboys ‘amp; Indians, ’80s night, pimps ‘amp; hoes, to name a few.
But with the arrival of decent weather on the horizon and holidays, it’s more acceptable to go crazy. To totally get into the mood, pick a theme, find appropriate decorations, music and even drinking games. And so that you don’t have to wrack your brain for ideas, I have compiled a list of theme parties, starting with the holidays:
1. St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patty’s Day is before the official start of spring and it’s a great excuse to drink. Wearing green might get you in the mood, even if you’re not Irish.’
2. Easter: Invoke Jesus and try to turn water into wine, or be a sexy Easter bunny and deliver your ‘basket.’
3. Cinco de Mayo: Mucho caliente! Don your sombreros, bring out the nachos and keep the tequila pouring!
4. International Nurse’s Day (May 12): Did anyone know this day even existed? Hope you have a first aid kit handy and get ready to put on some scrubs! Syringes and drugs need not be present.
5. Three Sisters, the Play: Go in costume to the Chekhov play that Theatre Fairfield is putting on. Then, party afterwards.
6. Toga Party: Classic. More appropriate for frats or if you don’t want to wear anything but sheets.
7. Shakespeare: Dress up as any character from The Bard’s plays. Costumes from ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’ might be most appropriate with the weather.
8. Renaissance Party: Similar to Shakespeare because of the style of clothing.
9. Any other type of historical time period: Egyptian, Blast from the Past, Futuristic.
10. Flower Power: For all you hippies-at-heart who missed the ’60s. Throw up those peace signs.
11. Harry Potter/ Twilight: Because you know you’ve always wanted to be a wizard or a vampire.
12. Any movie/book/Broadway play release party with a cult following.
13. Ninjas vs. Pirates Party: Could be an ultimate showdown.
14. Sports Season: Dress up as your favorite team player!
15. Rave: Black lights, crazy colors and hair and trance music are a must. Glowing alcohol is a bonus.
16. Glamour parties: For any Hollywood award event.
17. Anime theme party: It’ll be like a convention in your townhouse; so many characters to choose from!
18. Apocalyptic: For all of you who want to end with a bang.
19. Bathing suit dance party: ‘She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini’
20. And last but not leasta Disney party!: What better way to relive your childhood years? And you know you’ve always wanted to be Aladdin and hook-up with Belle.
