Plan a Themed Dinner Party

Your busy schedule has you too busy for your friends. Dinner parties are a time to get all your friends together and catch up. The same old dinner party with drinks and dinner can get a little boring after a while. Add some pizazz and make it themed. Create a theme that everyone will get into. Some ideas I thought of are;

Decade Party, choose your favorite decade and have your guests dress accordingly. For example through a 50's party and have the women wear poodle skirts with hair in pony-tails and the men in varsity letter men sweaters or leather jackets, cuffed jeans and sleeked back hair. The menu should be cheeseburgers and fries, milk-shakes and root beer floats. Decorate with records, checkerboard patterns and old coke bottles.

Another theme could be Casino Night. Make your home into a Las Vegas Casino, turn you dinning room table into a poker table, and get out some poker chips. Play cards, have a few drinks and chat away with friends. Instead of a sit down dinner, make a buffet table. Vegas buffets are all about variety so have a little bit of everything on the menu.

What about a Murder Mystery Party. Have the guest get involved in the game. Create a character for each guest to be then create clues around your house and let the fun begin. While playing the game you can have appetizers and drinks, after the game is done and the murderer is revealed all sit down and chat about them game and other topics over a delightful meal.

  1. I did a murder mystery once - we themed it like it was a mob killing and the Guests all had to figure out who did it.

    We decorated the apartment like an Italian Restaurant, and the invitation included descriptions of everyone's character.

    All the food and beverages we served was Italian in nature.

    It's a great Idea!

    Nice job on these - I would have liked to see the photos but I know that you had a hard time with the computer.


    We Played Italian music in the background - They loved it

  2. I am glad you liked my choices as there are many more out there. I personally always wanted to do the murder mystery party. I loved the board game clue when I was younger and the suspense of not knowing what will happen is just so much fun!
