MEXobiologist Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 are weird especially when you choose an era that everyone or most in attendance have already lived through. you don't really look or feel like you are dressing up. you just look like you are either a hipster or a stubborn old person who never evolved. my sister chose a 90's theme for her 40th. it was way too easy to simply recreate my style from the 90's and i just look/feel normal and comfortable with the exception of the awful ill fitting pants that come up too high. more than half of the music that will be played is new enough that it still gets some amount of regular rotation by dj's and the radio. it just seems weird if i had a themed birthday party it would be way different. something wacky. what would you do?

Distortedreasoning Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 i thought you had to go back at least to the 80s to do something era themed. although the 90s is dated there are some styles that can pass for today. as for era themed parties? psychedelic 60s?

mthor Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Oh, come on. Definitely the 90's - the 1890's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Roaring twenties theme. I went to a political fundraiser that was roaring twenties theme, at a local place which was a frequent hideout for Chicago mobsters running bootleg whiskey from Kentucky. Fun time.

Ginguy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Into it. The music and clothes would be fabulous. It was a lot of fun. It was a big success too, 50/plate and we filled it to capacity. The location was cool too, the lage bar area was perfect with all the round tables and open bar, and the converted stable rooms were great for slipping back and talking business. It was a really good event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as theme birthday parties are bougie as fuck anyway, I don't really see the problem. It's kind of a bad sign that you have to escape reality to that degree just to celebrate someone's birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a bad sign that you have to escape reality to that degree just to celebrate someone's birthday. i suppose if its not your thing, then its just not your thing and thats just fine. everyone has a different idea of a good time. i'm sure i will still have a ton of fun. the parties they throw, no matter what kind, are always a good time. a bunch of art and small business people who frequently have to do this kind of thing for work or installations, its usually 10/10 for location, decor, booze, and snacks. i'm just a little meh about this particular theme. i liked the super hero party for my ex brother in laws 40th. now that was a fun time for costumes and props!

I was being a smart ass, but the larger point is if you're having a good time, the theme is secondary to being with people you enjoy, and if the theme interferes with you having a good time, you probably don't want to be at that party. There really isn't anything wrong with party themes, especially if the party host is the one that has a great time planning the party. I've always disliked the idea of having party guests show in costume because it requires work and, even though the host doesn't intend for it, it opens up those who can't find/afford a suitable costume or don't have the time to prepare one. I know it's being stickler (and it's unrealistic for a well meaning host to account for his or her party guests' individual neurosis) , but that's the kind of added complication that costume parties tend to have.
