I like events with themes!  Simple or elaborate, it always adds to the evening.

Tropical Nights! Your basic Hawaiian shirt event.  Palm fronds, flower leis, tropical drinks, ukuleles, flip flops, Polynesian reviews.  Commemorative photos taken on a surf board or in the mouth of a Great White Shark.  Trips to Hawaii, luaus on the beach, custom surfboards, Tommy Bahama shirts.  Everyone has something in their closet for this event!  Aloha!

Cowboy Up!  A chance to wear your Stetson hat and cowboy boots.  Bails of hay, saddles, red bandanas, steak and beans, chaps and spurs.  Line dancing and western swing.  Red and white checked table cloths.  Week at a Dude ranch, barbeque dinner with all the fixings, custom boots, side of beef, VIP seats to the rodeo.   Yee-ha!

Feeling Groovy!  Give peace a chance!  Tie-died shirts, beads, flowers, straight hair parted down the middle, leisure suits, afros, hot pants.  Weekend in San Francisco, Davy Jones concert backstage passes, overnight at the Mirage with tickets to Love, Beatle’s memorabilia.   Twist contest.  Pot roast, mashed potatoes, jello.

Movie Themes! Blues Brothers.  Casablanca.  The Wizard of Oz.

Television Themes!  Who doesn’t like Grey’s Anatomy or ER?  CSI.  Perhaps old school with the Beverly Hillbillies or Gilligan’s Island!

Colors!  Red Hot Chili Peppers - everyone dresses in red and all decorations too!  The Blue Bayou!  Yellow Submarine! 

Ethnic Themes!  Salsa - A Night in Spain!  Caribbean with a Reggae beat!  That Amore - with an Italian flair!  Cinco de Mayo! 

Type of Clothing!  Skinny Black Tie.  White Athletic Socks.  Black horn rimmed glasses.  You chose a form the event around it!

Be creative!  Use your imagination!
