What is the most unique party you've ever thrown or been invited to?

Every party anyone has ever have thrown or been invited to has been unique, but none was more unique than another.

Black light party!!! The normal lights in certain rooms of the house had been switched out with black lights and in those rooms there was neon everywhereee. It was pretty awesome. I wish I had the time and patience to do something like that.

@Allie That sounds awesome. They do one room like that at our museum each year for a crafting with glow in the dark paints at the trick or treat party.

I’d never thought of it as a theme for a party!

LIke the cheese, “unique” stands alone (no qualifiers, ever.)

@gailcalled Wait. ‘Splain that to me. Cheese?

I’ve been to parties where some crazy shit has happened.
The last party I went to involved jello wrestling.

I was at someone’s 21st birthday party which featured various boys (most of whom she’d dated at one point or another) in black pants and bow ties. A trampoline with lots of cushions had replaced most of the furniture in the living room.

@pdworkin: Remember “The Farmer in the Dell”? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Farmer_in_the_Dell

Read the lyrics and scroll down to how the game was played. I guess it it too simple-minded for todays’ youngsters.

Here is Wis, I’ve been to beer tasting parties. Kinda like a wine tasting, but instead of fancy cheeses there are fried hors d’oeuvres and/or grilled brats to go along with the beers.

I’m not much of a partier, so I’ve never been to a jello wrastle yet @casheroo…that one sounds fun to watch!

Well, I haven’t really thrown many parties—my parents don’t like traditional teen parties at our house (despite the fact that it’s like the perfect party house) and I’d just rather go to a party than throw one. (I will admit to having a secret party at my vacation home. But I wasn’t in charge of throwing it. It was awesome though). Beyond birthday parties, I had a couple after-school-gets-out barbecues where like all my friends came. But the most unique interesting party I went to was this party my friends and I organized at another friend’s house called the “S Shitshow”. The theme was the letter “S”. Everybody had to wear a costume that began with the letter “S”. I was “Soulja Boy”. It was fun. After that, it kind of started fad with theme parties among my friends. We had various themes and always lots of interesting costumes. The last one I went to before going to college was the “Redneck Rager”. lol

@pdworkin that would be a very unique party!!

ok.. #1 I want to party with @casheroo!!!
#2 A friend once had an Indiana Jones themed party.. everyone dressed either as Indy or in safari gear (or something akin to it… even a few nazi guys)... and this girl converted her entire back yard (which was a huge jungle to begin with) into something out of the Indiana Jones ride at disneyland.. complete with broken down Jeep and weird old tents and crates of supplies… it was the most elaborate decoration i have ever seen for a theme party… They had a small mock up of a pyramid… the entrance to the party was through a side hallway which she decked out with odd columns and such…there was a small rope bridge over the pool… they spent a fortune on this party (besides decorations.. food and booze for about 500 people…) it was AMAZING. Looked something like this… everything made of cardboard but still.. it took a lot of time and money to plan and execute.

her family owns the largest dairy producer/distributor in baja… money really is no object.

@gailcalled

No one got it~

I’ve been to a party in the back of a frat house in the middle of winter (or was it fall?) where an arbor was draped with sheets and tarps underneath which a giant pipe expelled a steady stream of warm foam that everybody huddled under in order to keep warm. Everyone was red-eyed from the soap and soaked or shirtless and then it started raining and the sheets and tarps seemed to fill up with water and I didn’t want them to fall on me so I left.

@nxknxk: Two people here got it. And this is hardly representative of the population at large.

sorry @gailcalled i need to put my glasses on. i sent my message to pdworkin should have been to you.

I went to a party at uni where guests were invited by word of mouth, one had to follow clues to find the venue (it was some guy’s house off-campus), and then know the code word to get in. Similar to hashing, but not going from pub to pub.

I’ve been to a blacklight party where everyone got highlighters as they came in, and the basement was lined with black paper, so you were free to color on the walls, people, anything. It was pretty great. Everything was a mess, but it was a really easy clean up.
Plus with drinking involved, it got to be a creative night.

I would love to have a mad hatter party.

I witnessed an interesting party. It’s called an ABC party. Anything But Clothes. The people come dressed in, you guessed it, anything but clothes. Plastic wrap, togas, etc.. The rule is girls can show off whatever the want, if they want. Guys have to wear underwear at least (double standard?).

@RedPowerLady my son wants a Mad Hatter Party, too

@SpatzieLover wait how old is he? lol

@RedPowerLady 4. He loves Alice, tea parties and the crazy scene from the movie…yes, i do know we aren’t talking about the same type of party…but it is called the same thing ;)

@SpatzieLover I thought you were making fun of me, haha. That is so cute he wants a mad hatter party. You mean he isn’t scared by it?

@RedPowerLady He’s not afraid of Alice or Wizard of Oz, as both are much less “scary” if you read the book first. He’s delighted by them both. As a child I found both to be bizarre and frightening

@SpatzieLover Wizard of Oz has always been my favorite. Alice I loved too but still was frightened by it. Especially those darn flowers. Scary! You have a brave lil boy.

@RedPowerLady He sings in the garden all the time. He wishes the flowers would actually sing back! He has a vast imaginary world

@SpatzieLover that is the cutest thing i’ve ever heard

For my son’s 3rd b-day we rented out a vintage theater and showed the “Wizard Of Oz” on the big screen to family & friends. He wore his ruby slippers and we played Oz themed party games and gave out Oz prizes in a raffle. If he had his “dreams” come true, this party would’ve involved “real” munchkins welcoming people in with lollipops and just before the start of the show, a “real” witch would’ve flown out in front of the screen. His head is filled with elaborate scenes & schemes

For this year’s b-day he had a lot of trouble choosing what the theme would be. His choices came down to a “Bewitched” party, an “Alice” party or???. About 2 months before he walked up to me and announced that he was going to have a Stein’s Gardens & Gifts celebration. I was to decorate the yard with large fake flowers, butterflies, birds-etc. Which I gladly did. He asked for me to invite people over to “enjoy our garden”. We had a screened garden tent since destroyed in a high wind with a x-mas tree decorated with flowers, birds, birdhouses in one corner, too.

Wow! Is he an artist as well? Sounds like he has the mind of one.

@RedPowerLady He is currently watching and dancing to “Singin’ in the Rain” and coloring/sketching during the slow parts. He goes through one large, blank sketch book a week or more. For what it’s worth at his age, he tells us when he grows up he will be an artist.

@SpatzieLover Heck I believe he will!

I went to a Victorian tea party once. Actually, it was a wedding reception, does that count? It was adorable. The couple were two older people and they both dressed in Victorian era clothing. Everyone else was invited to do the same, but they were of the few who had access to that type of dress. He was the curator at a local “history house.” Anyway, they had a turn-of-the-century menu and music played by a string quartet from the same period.

@ubersiren That sound’s like a grand idea. Unique couple!

i go to a college with a pretty big greek scene, and a lot of the frats have themed dance parties. yeah, there’s always the usual toga night and the anything-but-clothes party, but i’d say the best one was “stoplight” – wear green if you’re single, wear yellow if it’s complicated, and wear red if you’re taken.

@smack : Ooh, stoplights, that’s cute!

Bad taste party.

You wear clothing that is obviously out of style, or never were. Refreshments include twinkies and hawaiian punch. Music is usually Donny Osmond, Barry Manilow, and Air Supply. You walk around asking people things like “How much money do you make?”

I went to these for 5 or 6 years. They are hysterical.

@filmfann: My paternal grandfather’s family was like that all the time. The Jews called it being friendly and interested in others; others called it aggressive and rude.

You also have to wear only clothes bought at a discount.

@pdworkin: Whoa!

@pdworkin Can’t breathe from laughing

They gesture, too. Did you ever notice that? And their doughnuts are kind of stiff.

For my finance’s birthday, I brought in a salsa dance teacher and her partner to teach everyone (20 people?) at the party Salsa dancing. No one else knew about it; they ate dinner with us and just pretended they knew me some way.

I want to have a Mad Hatters Tea Party as a housewarming, with lots of beer and a slightly dark and twisted edge.. does that count?
