What is a Theme Party?

"A party typically features eating and drinking based on a theme itself. A theme party is a favorite for most and celebrated by people all over the world. Theme parties are held when ever and where ever the host wants them to be held. Below we have listed some of our favorite picks for popular theme parties and theme party ideas.

Color Themes
Color Themes: Color theme parties base their whole party around a color. For example: The Color Green - you would ask all your guest to wear the color green or bring something green. The drinks served would be green colored alcoholic drinks with green lime slices in the drinks or a non-alcoholic drinks like green colaid. Green foods would be served like: garden salads, broccoli, green beans, green soup (like split pea soup), chicken covered in green gravy (white gravy with green food coloring), and we can't leave out green desserts like: green cookies with green sprinckles, green jello, green cakes with green icing (Patachio Cake is popular). Serving dishes would be shades of green. A great party prize would be a beautiful green plant. Garden Parties love to host "Green Parties" all the time and St. Patrick's Day is known as a green party day as well. National Pink Day is popular for pink parties.
Fruit Themes
Fruit Themes: For example: "Lemons" - you would ask all your guest to wear the color yellow or come in lemon costumes. The food served would be lemon flavored alcoholic drinks with lemon slices in the drinks or non-alcoholic drinks like lemonade. Lemon cake, lemon meringue pie or lemon squares would be a few dessert ideas. Serving dishes would be shades of yellow and a large lemon center piece on the table would be the typical centerpiece. If you know any lemon games then this would be the time to play them too. A great party prize would be a real lemon plant. Parties set on National Lemon Holidays are usually hosted with the yellow theme.
Food Themes
Food Themes: Food Theme parties are based on a certain type of food. For example: A Crawfish Party - "A crayfish party is a traditional summertime eating and drinking celebration in the Nordic countries." "The tradition originated in Sweden, where a crayfish party is called a kräftskiva." "The tradition has also been spread to Finland by the Swedish-speaking population of that country." Crayfish parties are generally held during August. "The crayfish are boiled in salt water and seasoned with fresh dill then served cold and eaten with the fingers. Bread, mushroom pies, strong Västerbotten cheese, salads, and other dishes are served buffet-style."
Chocolate Party: A chocolate party is a party where everything served is made with chocolate or cocoa.
Pirate Parties
This day is a day to celebrate the history of pirates. Part of the fun is having pirate parties, dressing up like pirates, eating pirate food and talking like a pirate. You would think that this holiday is just for kids but pirate parties are actually celebrated more by adults than by children. Wow! We even have a holiday in our calendar devoted to pirates. (Talk Like A Pirate Day) Names like "Ye ol' bucket of bread" for a Swashbuckling (pirate) party is just perfect. Favorite foods served at pirate parties are recipes like Skull Cheese Ball Ideas, Skull Sandwiches, Skull Rice Crispy Treats,
Garden Parties
A garden party is a social gathering with food provided, in the open in a park or a garden. "Unlike a picnic party or barbecue party, which are informal, a garden party can be a prestigious event." For example, invitations to parties of the British Sovereign, held at Buckingham Palace Gardens, are a great honour, and are very rare except for those in traditionally invited high offices." Many games are traditionally played at garden parties. "In Champs Elysees, Paris, there is an annual Garden Party on 14 July on the occasion of Bastille Day." Garden parties are very popular with gardening groups and clubs. And with anybody who has a great garden to show off!
