Seven Theme parties I would like to throw*

1. Clue - come dressed as your interpretation of that clue character. Original Clue only. No master detective. You can only bring food items that correspond somehow to your color.

2. Come as your favorite holiday - once again food must correlate to costume. Share a tradition with each of them.

3. High School Drama - Dress as your favorite high school stereo type. Bonus points for call backs to 80's movies. I call dibs on Ally Sheedy a la Breakfast club.

4. Welcome to the Hellmouth - You could not expect me to leave off a Whedon-fest in here did you? Trivia, sing-a-long to the musical, and other various activities.

5. When get old I want to be.... -- What did you want to be when you were a kid - come dressed as that profession -- how many firemen will there be? I am going to be an astronaut!

6. Cruise around the world progressive night - I know its kinda cliche - but there is something to be said for gorging yourself on great ethnic foods. In this plan you move from place to place -- entering each "culture" at someones house.

7. The land of misfit superheroes - come as a superhero that might not have ever made it to the Justice League.


*and almost all of them involve a costume and themed food somehow.

My 8th grade birthday party (I think was turning 13) was clue themed. Everyone had to dress up as a character, whether you used the boardgame character or movie character was up to you. We then had to solve a puzzle in order to get our meal. If you didn't get the puzzle right you would miss out. One of the clues was: rhymes with time (or something like that) and the answer was tines... which are the little things on the fork. I didn't get a fork.

After we ran around town (in costume(I live in a small town)) and solved more puzzles to find dessert. One clue was something about food and dumpsters, which was the dumpster behind our small grocery store.

It was a lot of fun. I've also done the Olympics (my birthday was on the closing ceremony one year.) I've done a travel party, the invites looked like a brochure for winning a vacation and my friends and I went to Santa Cruz for the weekend and stayed at my family's vacation house. That was my sweet sixteen. c:

Oh very nice! I like the riddle to get your meal thing.

I am a near Christmas kid -- so sledding was always popular. We did go caroling once -- though in retrospect it might of been kinda lame. Oh yeah....
