Tired of hosting the same old traditional parties? Take your hosting to the next level by adding an awesome theme no one will want to miss. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or anniversary or throwing a party just for fun, you could turn it into the event of the year. So, let's explore all the different ways we can turn your average party into an extravaganza you’ll never forget. And we’ll throw in a few budget-friendly party tips as well.
Choosing the Right Theme
Choosing the right theme can make or break your party. You want your guests to have a good time while still being comfortable. Don’t be afraid to get quirky and weird with it, though. The weirder the theme, the more unforgettable the party.
We have some awesome costume party theme ideas that you can use as inspiration for your bash:
Pyjama party
This one’s a classic, are we right? There’s nothing more comfy than chilling in your pj’s, so you can’t go wrong with a pyjama party. Watch as your friends and family lounge around while they make memories with their favourite people. With this theme, party decor is made easy.
Throw around a bunch of blankets and pillows, have a few chilling stations and enjoy the good vibes.
Foodie festival
Who doesn’t love food? This is deliciously based on the decor and snacks rather than costumes. The idea is to have a bunch of different kinds of foods from different cultures for people to try.
This is a great opportunity for people to try new things and to discover new cuisines. With the decor, you can get creative and DIY some fun food-related decorations for your space; a string of tomatoes, a cheese poster or even a spaghetti streamer. Food is a fave, so it’s a guaranteed hit.
Murder mystery
Get creative and set the perfect murder mystery scene. This theme is a little more difficult, though, and definitely requires the help of others. Create a script that you know will be compelling, and choose a villain you know will make the game a hit.
For snacks and decor, you can grab some classic Halloween-themed decor. We definitely have all the party decorations and props you’ll need to give your party the perfect vibe.
Superhero
This theme is a hit for all ages! By superhero, we don’t mean dressing up as your favourite Marvel character. We mean everyone coming up with a unique superhero that represents them and their personality.
You can grab kids' costumes and customise them to make them cool and unique. This is a theme that makes for a great ice-breaker. Watch everyone’s personalities come to life in their fabulous homemade costumes.
Futuristic party
This theme is perfect if you want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the vibes. Because the future isn't something we know for sure, it's a perfect opportunity for everyone to have their own interpretation of the theme. Some may come dressed in neon and metallic. But the real fun is not knowing how people will be dressed in the future!
With the decor, the ideal item is balloons. Let's be real: balloons seem like an item from the future: rubber sacks filled with helium that float mid-air with almost a mind of their own. Sounds like something out of this world.
Anything You Might Have Forgotten?
Let’s think: we have the ultimate themes, snacks and decor, what are we missing? Party favours! Party favours are the perfect end to every party. There is no better way to say, “Thank you for joining me”, than giving your guests something to take home.
The party favours will match your theme, so make sure to explore all the different party favour ideas before making your final pick. To stay budget-friendly, consider making some cool party favours yourself as a token of appreciation.
Final Words
All that’s left is for you to get your party started. Prepare for the craziest of times and host the party of the year! Let’s get planning and pop by The Crazy Store to grab all your party essentials.
