What is your suggestion for an unforgettable theme party to commemorate my 25th birthday?

oily gangbang.
you will never forget that
guaranteed

I have always wanted to do an Alice in Wonderland themed party. There are so many ways to do it and have fun. Hope you like the suggestion, if you use it let me know how it goes.

A political party.

Girls dress like giant donuts and guys like giant cucumbers.

I’ll MC the whole disgusting thing. ARooooooooooooooooooooo !

How about a homage to Dionysus he was the Greek God of wine and revelry, what better guy to be the centre point of a party for 20 somethings, apart from your good self of course.

Although it will probably just turn into a toga party !!

COWBOYS. Really not very creative but I’ve been wanting to do this forever just because I love cowboy clothing and big hats and boots. And I think it would be very funny.

Superhero and pirate themes are always fun.

I’m part of a group that once hosted a party we called ‘when I grow up’. Basically, you had to come as what your kid self wanted to be when you grew up. It ended up being so much fun because everyone had a great story to tell with their costume. There were Astronauts, and NBA players, and figure skaters and so much more. One friend came as a Optometrist because when he was little he thought his Optometrist was the jam. I know it sounds like it would be just like Halloween, but it was a lot of fun. And the added bonus is that you learn more about your friends!

suit up (mafia style)

end of story

I know you said decade themes are overdone, but I loved dressing up as a flapper from the 1920s one Halloween. There are so many cool clothes people could choose from from that era! You could set up your place as a speakeasy, and people could come dressed as flappers, gangsters, cops, etc.

How about, themes right, I always liked the idea of having different rooms, all with their own micro themes and sets of rules, drunks and non drunks can easily follow and amuse themselves with. Would really be good if you had like a twenty room home. How about a no throwing up party.
I would love to really be able to answer this but I stopped being fun years ago

Have everyone wear plain white t-shirts, or buy a bunch in bulk at the dollar store and pass them out. Then pass out markers/sharpies or whatever and everyone can draw on each other.

have all invitees dress like you did back in high school days.

I had a Clue® themed party for my 25, complete with door prizes for best costume and most original murder weapon.

I also think toga parties are hilarious. Though rather common and even more unoriginal than my first idea, it is to die for when the alcohol comes out and peoples togas are lopsided, falling off, dragging behind them, slung over their shoulder..

Following up on @Ansible1‘s idea, Oscar Wilde said, “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” That would make a great party theme, open to all sorts of interesting interpretation.

You can do a Hawaiian party! Dress up like people in Hawaii! If it’s hot and warm where you are then go for it! I’ll bet you it’l be a blast! :) Have fun anyway and happy early birthday! :)

We once did a wall painting party, where everyone was invited to paint a mural. The wall was covered with strippable wallpaper, so I could just take it with me at the end of the year.
I had plenty of tarps on the floor, and any non-paintable surfaces.

An innapropriate party. where you dress as something completely innapropriate.

Like a guy dressed up as a used tampon
or a black person dressing up as a ku klux person

(both of these were real costumes worn by real people and all highly innapropriate)

ANother one is a shit kit party where you get the outfit from a charity store – but you buy someone elses costume… kind of like a secret santa.

@RareDenver Someone must be a true blood fan. I’m a big time fan myself.

I recommend having a mustache party. Everyone that comes man or woman must have some sort of mustache. Very fun.

I had a me themed party for my 21st. I had masks of my face made. There was Fat Sara, Hulk Sara, Winking Sara, etc. Then you have your friends come dressed as you. It was fun.

@mollykm I love that idea! I agree that it would end up sorta like Halloween (my birthday is October 6th so it might be too close), but that’s a rad idea. And everyone could play along, because who didn’t have an amazing career aspiration as an 8-year-old?!

@sariperana OMG, my roommate and I totally tossed that idea around!

@bumwithablackberry Hopefully it will be a “No Throwing Up” party without me having to designate it as such…

@augustlan Yes, that’s actually one of the frontrunners in terms of ideas that I came up with on my own. I was thinking of like a “recession” themed party—wear a costume inspired by this recession, or the last one. So that would probably result in a lot of flapper-ish costumes.

Thanks all!

@EmilyNathon Happy birthday in advance. Enjoy your party!

I find that the basics, and the best you can do with the basics, is the best way to go. Tiki torches are pretty atmospheric though. Good booze, good food, midgets…

I’m also an october baby and i had been planning a huge gala party for my 30th (will be turning 29 this year) and i’m not sure if i can get it done so i suggest it to you.

I am a rather tall man (this will make sense later), so i was going to rent out a large hall, send out very fancy invitations requesting black tie attire, catered.. lots of booze.. live band (even had one in mind).. the works. I had contacted a local business that “rented” out exotic servers for events and requested about 45 little people to be servers at the event. I would have them all dress up in ethnic garb from around the world and receive my guests under a huge banner that mentioned the party’s theme (“It’s a Small World after all”). 30 of the little people would be servers (in honor of my 30th) while the rest woud either tend bar or wear white ancient roman style togas and carry me into the event on a liter.

Seems a bit over the top but having a bunch of little romans carry a 6’8” guy into a party on a litter is not an image that’s easily forgotten.

Enjoy.

I wanted to start a professional party “host” business called “Life-of-the-Party.com” Where I go to parties and keep it going.

I checked your profile to be sure my suggestion would be feasible first, and since you live in LA, I think it’s possible. For years I’ve been wanting to throw an “ABC” party. “ABC” stands for “Anything But Clothes.” The only clothing allowed is undergarments. The rest of your costume must be made out of something people wouldn’t normally wear, i.e. caution tape, road cones, phone book pages, trash bags, etc. I have been planning to make a dress out of laminated or lacquered phone book pages before I host one of these. I think it would be hilarious to see what everyone came up with. Unfortunately, I live in Colorado and my birthday is in February, so it’s always too cold to do this for my birthday. If you go with this idea, you’ll have to let me know how it turns out!

What about a dance marathon? It would sure last long enough for you to have a hard time forgetting it.

Get 25 of your friends together to roast you :)
