How to Throw a Party with a Unique Theme

So many parties rest on their bland-themed laurels. Make yours different by forging down the unique-party path and still maintaining your budget. With a few interesting ideas, you can rev up the enthusiasm at your next gathering.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet
• Creative friends
• Party supply store
• Craft books or ideas
• Guest list

1. Add drinks that tie into your theme.
2. Think about the age of your guests and pick your theme that's appropriate for that age group.
3. Consider any major holidays or events that might be coming up.
4. Ask friends about the best party they have ever been to and why it was so fun. Also ask about the worst party they have ever been to.
5. Take a theme that already exists, such as Disco, and make it even more specific to come up with a unique party theme that few people have heard of, such as "Come as your favorite character out of a bad Disco movie."

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that themes don't always have to revolve around events, people or food. You can throw a black-and-white party or a trade-hand-me-downs party. If you get creative enough almost anything can become a party theme.
• Since some party themes are more difficult for people to understand and abide by, give guests some tips as to how to best fit in at the party, complete with a list of places where you can pick up a costume or recipes for a certain type of dishes etc.
