Pro Blacklight
What are some good party themes for college?
After a few good bangers, my friends and I are looking to throw another party that goes beyond the typical themes. Thus, we’re looking to avoid:
-Golf Pros/ Tennis Hoes
-Blacklight
-Highlighter
-Celeb Party
-Anything but Clothes.
Any thoughts?
Yeah, I’d avoid the trashy parties.
When I was in school (back in the 80s) I was in a fraternity and we did the following parties.
1) Seven cities. Seven of the brothers would volunteer to host a city in their room. Each city had theme (for example Moscow) and a drink. For example the guy who did Moscow had “Riekman’s Red Death”, and he dressed as a KGB agent and took everyone’s picture when they came into the room. Before you could enter the main party you and your date had to go to each of the rooms, have a drink, and get your passport stamped (we had little cards that were stamped or signed off on). For costumes you had to dress like someone from one of the cities (I was a Soviet border guard with a trenchcoat, furry hat, and toy AK-47).
2) Toga (Duh).
3) Mafia Wedding. This was expensive and involved, but we split the house up into two groups, each of which was a competting Mafia family. (One family was the Corleones, I don’t recall the other). The idea was the daughter from one family was marrying the son from another. We had a “bride” and “groom” and “priest” even. Everyone had cap pistols and did the whole Sopranos thing. I think we even did a buffet with this
4) Heaven and Hell. Costumes were “come dressed in the clothes you expect to die in”. (there were some INTERESTING costumes). You came into the house and we had the two funniest guys in the house there, one dressed as St. Peter the other dressed as the Devil. They argued over if you should go to Heaven or Hell, and it was both brutial and funny. (For example My date got sent to Hell “for having horrible taste in Men”). The upstairs party was Heaven…we had a chilled fog machine, softer music, and a punchbowl fountian with alcholic punch. Almost nobody got sent to Heaven.
The basement had been done up as Hell. Red lightbulbs, loud rock music, lava rocks for decor, and black plastic on the walls. Most of the liquor was downstairs.
We also did a Ski Lodge party where we filled the ballroom with white styrofoam packing peanuts to a depth of about 3 or 4 inches, and put up evergreen branches for decor, and even built a small “ski lodge” in the room. The only problem was the styrofoam got ground up and static made it stick to people’s pants and shoes, so we were still finding bits of it all over the house a year later.
