Sure, a regular old party with cake and punch is great (actually, why doesn't anyone have punch anymore?) but it's always fun when someone (most often not me) comes up with a really cool theme for their party. Maybe it takes a little bit of extra work (and a trip to Goodwill), but it ends up being worth it for the memories and your photostream.
Ugly Sweater Party
Best around Christmas time (both for the climate and for procuring said sweater) this is fun because for once in your life you can go to a party looking ugly ON PURPOSE and not constantly worry about people judging your clothes. Maybe I’m the only one who constantly worries about that, but still. Also, no weekend is complete without a trip to Goodwill looking for a specifically ugly sweater.
This is the most amazing sweater I have ever seen.
My Local Goodwill

Often picked over due to proximity to hipsters, you can still find plenty an ugly sweater here…
The is answer is 42 - now what was the question?
I knew a guy who used to have a party using this book as it’s theme. He came up with some amazing stuff each year.

Stoplight Party
Do you ever spend 20 minutes talking to someone at a party to only find out they’re in a serious monogamous relationship? Then you should consider throwing a Stoplight Party. This is how it works: Everyone has to wear either a green, yellow, or red shirt to the party. You wear red if you’re in a relationship with someone and you’re off the market, you wear yellow if your relationship status is iffy, and you wear green if you’re single and raring to go!

Have a Lebowskifest
You know — in homage to the movie “The Big Lebowski”. Now, I know NOTH-ing about this, but apparently (from what I’ve read), it’s supposed to take place at a bowling alley. Which is certainly fun. But wouldn’t it be MORE fun to just turn your hallway into a bowling alley and have it at your own house?

An ideal spot for a Lebowski party. Just grungy enough.

During a Lebowskifest, attendees are supposed to dress up. As characters from the movie, I assume.
[OK. Time to see this movie to figure out what the hell this is all about.]

Rubix Cube party!
Everyone arrives in different colored clothes but leaves wearing only one. For bonus points, include multi-colored punches that you can only drink with the appropriate color of clothing.

Love theme parties!
Although some people I know think it is “silly” my friends and I have a blast at our theme parties! The most successful was the 90’s party. We all dressed in our 90’s best or most grunge, watched My So Called Life and listened to the Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, and Green Day. It was the party of the year. Here are some pictures…

They’ll fix your hair after all that headbanging. And you’ll feel cool while they’re doing it.

Hand games are so 90's
Notice the menswear look I am sporting. Yes, those pants are pinstripe too.

I can’t bring myself to buy secondhand shoes, but can usually find a great deal (or 3) here.

The Theme is: FUN
Early 80's party!
How has no one mentioned this yet? All 80’s clothes, all 80’s music. What a great decade.

Theme parties are the only parties worth attending. If there is no theme involved-go to a bar. Kuddos, GillianS.

I’m a huge fan of the ugly sweater party. Especially when I decide to go OUT in my ugly sweater AFTER the ugly sweater party, then I just look ugly. Always fun.

I am so not creative when it comes to theme parties. But I do totally intend to make punch at my next get-together.
