A common question when throwing a party is what theme to use. Ultimately it depends on the guests’ interests as well as the guest of honor, but the host may not have good party theme ideas. Thankfully there are some basic themes that can work if people are interested in it.
Do the guests like video games? If so, why not throw a video game theme party? Tell your friends to bring multi-player games. Put posters of video game characters up. Everybody knows about Mario, so he should be somewhere. This party should have a game tournament. Prizes are not necessary as he guests do not expect to pay to enter.
Perhaps the guests like the fantasy genre. If that is the case, then one of my favorite party theme ideas is to bring out the Dungeons and Dragons books and possibly some tools to LARP (live action role-play) with. Do not go overboard. There is a fine line between nerd and loser.
Sci-fi can make an interesting party theme. All one needs to do this is come up with as many sci-fi themed games as possible. Pin the chip on the super-computer, a pinata shaped like a broken computer, anything will work.
Sports parties, if timed with an important sports game, are good for the fans of the teams playing. Be prepared for fights and get ready to resolve them. Do not have any alcohol unless everyone there is over 21. Do not let anyone who had alcohol drive. If you don’t want alcohol, only drink out of what you brought yourself. People tend to spike drinks at parties.
If you are throwing a party for a child, try using his or her favorite show as a theme. You’d be surprised how happy a simple party based on a favorite TV show can make someone. Remember to keep every child at the party supervised by someone you trust. The last thing you want is someone to get hurt.
These simple ideas are perfect party theme ideas to get started on a simple party. Before doing anything complicated, it is best to start with easy themes. Remember this and your parties will be remembered by all of the guests.
