You just found the right article for throwing unforgettable college parties, whether they are dedicated to a specific group of people or not. After reading these tips, you will never be the same event planner as before!
Steps
Step 1. Think of the ideal place to organize the party
If this is the first event you set up, you will hardly be able to offer a means of transportation to guests who live far from the venue, so keep that in mind. Best not to be more than a 10-minute walk from their homes.
Step 2. The party should be themed
Of course, it can also be fun to play group games with alcohol and various cocktails, but a successful party should have an underlying consistency. Choosing a theme is always challenging, no matter how silly you think it is. Girls, in particular, like to participate in events of this type: if your aim is to attract many, you absolutely must select one. Below you will find several ideas.
Step 3. Try to determine what your budget is
The themes we propose in this article require a small investment, so you must be aware of the amount you have. Remember to add the cost of alcohol as well. Only you know how much you want to spend. Plus, you can always charge at the entrance, but don't overdo it.
Step 4. Ask someone to take care of the security of the event
This will not only allow you to make sure that people don't get involved in fights, it will also allow you to prevent the party from being ended by the police, because you have received complaints.
Step 5. Advertise the party
Generally it should be done using colorful and original flyers, invitations on Facebook and / or word of mouth. There are also websites, which provide platforms for promoting university events for free to a wide audience.
Step 6. Ask someone to take care of the cleaning
Don't neglect this aspect, which should be part of your planning. Let's face it: you will also have many baskets to throw out the garbage, the problem is that drunk people never use them!
Step 7. Prepare a playlist designed specifically for your party
Below you will find suggestions depending on the chosen theme.
Method 1 of 5: Theme: Shipwreck (€€€)
This idea is ideal if you have a good budget.
- Attire: Guests should dress as if they were shipwrecked three months ago without suitcases (you can pop into a thrift store to find clothes to damage without any problems).
- Drinks: Drinks are supposed to be tropical, so consider Hunch Punch (recipe below), Malibu (coconut liqueur) mixed with orange juice and piña colada.
- Decorations: The sand laid out on the floor makes the party more realistic (before spreading it, cover it with a plastic sheet, so it will be easier to clean up). Get some tropical plants too; you can buy or borrow them in a nursery for the weekend, without paying too much; just be sure to talk to the owner of the shop (better small, in big chains it will be harder to do).
- Music: go for the tropical one, like Jimmy Buffett's songs.
- You will need several helpers to clean up after the party.
- You can organize it outside or indoors.
- Try to be creative - if you plan it correctly, it will be a great success.
Method 2 of 5: Theme: Preppy (€)
- Attire: Guests should dress as preppy as possible, pretending to be rich. For example, they might wear Top-Siders.
- Drinks: you can serve Hunch Punch; use plastic cups depicting sailing boats.
- Decorations: Make appetizers, mini sandwiches and cheese cubes.
- Music: choose the pop and catchy one, perhaps in English. Get inspired by this video.
- For this party you will have to give more importance to how you dress than to how you decorate. Obviously it is important to prepare the right atmosphere, but what will really matter will be the attitude of the participants.
Method 3 of 5: Theme: Flintstones (€€)
- Clothing: inspired by that of the Flintstones.
- Decorations: Use styrofoam blocks to create stones and small caves, and get spray paint for a realistic effect. Add some plastic palm trees.
- Drinks: Cocktail Dino (below you will find the recipe) and Drink T-Rex, prepared with one part of tequila and one part of orange juice.
Method 4 of 5: Hunch Punch Recipe (for about 40 l)

- 2 liters of peach vodka

Method 5 of 5: Recipe: Dino cocktail (for about 40 l)
