You can pick one, or combine two to turn your party into a success!

ALPHABET PARTY – Get creative by selecting an alphabet and asking your friends to dress in that letter. Say for instance, alphabet B could mean dressing up as a balloon, bubble, ballerina, Batman, Barbie, etc.

GLOW IN THE DARK PARTY – Get some neon sticks and items that glow in dark. You will need some black lights to make things glow. Tell guests to wear white or light colored dress for maximum effect. Give each guest glow sticks and decorate them with fun stickers. You can also order a cake and put some neon bracelets on it.

MASQUERADE BALL – You can invite your class to attend a masquerade party. Rent out a ballroom and band, and enjoy your evening by dancing with some familiar strangers. Select your colors carefully as you wouldn’t want people to identify you easily.

MURDER MYSTERY NIGHT – Invite your close friends to a thrill party of the year. Each guest will get an invitation describing about the plot and his/ her character. Clues will be added during the course of dinner and see who solves the mystery for you.

PARADISE NIGHT – You can decorate your backyard with torches, serve fruit on skewers, roast a pig and get your guests to wear a lei when they arrive.

PHOTO BOOTH – Keep some props like hats, sunglasses, mustache, cut out frames in different sizes. Tell them to get creative and see who can come up with silly photographs. This is not only entertaining, but will make your friends remember for a long time.

RUBIK CUBE PARTY – This can be a unique and fun party where friends are asked to come in different colors of clothing representing a color on the Rubik cube. Hire a band, get some confetti, hang a disco ball and enjoy the party.
