Ahhh the party theme, maybe I can help you out.

My personal favorite was always the pimp and hoes party. Then there was heaven and hell, shorties and forties, pajama night, 80's night, handcuff party, multi-movie themes, casino night, and so on...

I'll need a little more info on what type of party you are planning, like # of people, budget, place, etc.

[IDZ868]

Hey GammaZeta,

We have about 100-120 at our hall and we have a slim budget, but we might beable to sqeeze some funds.
We have done almost all of those except handcuffs and shorties.....got any other ideas.
E-mail me some more if you could too poriley@mail.unomaha.edu

For a cafe i think it would be pretty cool if you did a ceo's and corporate hoe's party. Guy's dress up nice, girls could dress up like skanky coffee shop girls or something.

Like I said...KEG RACES!!!! (kidding)

Is this like a PARTY party, or like a semi-formal?

You could always do a "Sweet Dreams" party where everyone has to wear pajamas (or something a little more revealing). There's alot of great ideas I have for that party with decorations, drinks, etc.

Or if it's more formal, have a Purple, Gold and Green ball. You could deck the entire hall out in those colors very cheaply. You would be surprised at how much $50 can get you at a fabric store. And you could serve purple, gold and green martinis! I have the recipes if you want, ex: green is vodka and apple pucker (just an appletini).

Personally I used to love the handcuff party, but it was mostly that the sororities would throw them, but it could work with the fraternity throwing it. You go to the dollar store and buy a ton of those cheap toy plastic handcuffs.

Now there's several ways of doing this:
When you and your date arrive (more formal) you get handcuffed to each other for the night,

or if it's more of a party party, the girls can buy (or you can just give them) the handcuffs, and every 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes (whatever you feel like) have the dj announce that its time to let the guys go and the girls move on to handcuff another guy.

I've been to some great Heaven and hell parties, and all you need is some paper, orange and red spraypaint, cottonballs, red light bulbs, and a few other things. We used to spend about $30 on decorations and the entire house actually looked like hell in the basement and heaven upstairs.

Another favorite was a tee-shirt party. Usually this is with a couple fraternities and sororities. Go to Walmart and buy like 100 t-shits. It'll actually be pretty damn cheap, or just have everyone wear an old one. Buy a ton of markers, all different colors and sizes, and have them through the house. Everyone goes around leaving messages, signing and doing stupid things to everyone elses t-shirts. This gave the guys a great excuse to get a little grabby with the girls and the girls never complained! (they all really liked it because it gave them an excuse to be a little slutty). I actually saved 2 or 3 of the shirts from the different parties. It works really well with a sorority you are close with.

We used to have some great parties. I'll try to think of some more things.

Actually if you can swing it a 'graffiti' party is great when you light everything with blacklights and use highliters instead of markers - the colours glow and there is more selection to choose from... also covering the walls in paper works wonders too...

[GammaZeta]

Good idea RA, we never though of that! We used to use the 3 foot long industrial blacklights for parties. They should still carry them at Home Depot. We would then buy the industrial light fixtures, the kind you see in garages, pretty cheap. Two of the light fixtures (holding the 4 long blacklights) would light up a huge room.
