There are parties, and then there are parties that you will remember for years. What are some of the most memorable parties you have attended over the years? It is likely that many of them will have been themed parties. Themed parties are popular with celebrities, royalty, and backyards all over the country. Naomi Campbell threw a lavish 3-day birthday bash for herself in 2006 in Dubai that included parties themed on “all white”, “hip hop”, and “Brazilian Samba”.

Themed parties focus on one single idea or subject. It can be anything like a holiday, a famous person, a popular event or any other topic you can imagine. Even a color can be the theme of the party. All of the decorations for the party, from the streamers and balloons to the invitations and thank you cards, tie into the theme. To set the mood for the themed party, guests usually dress up in costumes or clothing appropriate to the theme.

It’s relatively easy to throw a themed party for friends and family even if you’re not independently wealthy. Although it takes more planning than a casual get together, a themed party is fun to plan and will be remembered by your guests for a long time.

The first step in throwing a themed party is choosing the theme. If you are tying the party into an event, the event is the theme. For example, if you are throwing an Oscar party, your party may have a Hollywood theme, with a red carpet, lavish gift bags, and film reels. If it’s a Halloween party, your decorations will likely include severed body parts, spider webs and jack o’lanterns. You can also choose your own theme if you are throwing a birthday, anniversary or “just because” party. Single color parties are popular and visually stunning where all of the decorations and clothing guests wear are one color.

Children’s birthday parties open up a wide open array of options for fun. For boys, pirates and cowboys are perennially popular. Or movie themes, such as Star Wars or Wall-E. Popular girls’ themed parties include Cinderella, Hannah Montana, and Dora the Explorer. Older teenagers enjoy parties themed on their favorite rock bands or movies.

Once you have a theme for the party, it’s time to buy the decorations. Online party supply retailers like Ziggos.com offer a wide array of decorations and props for themed parties. You can choose from centerpieces, gift bags, tablecloths, streamers, and dozens of other party supplies to make your party authentic.

The most important part about hosting a themed party is to have fun. While getting the details worked out will ensure a successful party, being stressed about minor details will detract from your enjoyment of the party. Your guests ultimately will remember the overall theme and the pleasure of your company. Once you set the ball in motion, the party will take on a life of its own.
