College Party

COLLEGE PARTY  
  • easy appetizers and drinks. The perfect college theme party ideas start with chips, dips, and anything that can be microwaved! The purpose of this type of party is to have some fun and perhaps reminisce a bit. Offer a variety of drinks, including beer.
  • For decorations, consider using anything from your alma mater. If this isn't possible, go with the theme of the closest college or university. Use the team colors for decoration, and consider picking up one or two sports flags for easy, inexpensive additions.
  • Convert your party room into a "dorm room" by hanging some posters of your favorite musicians (from now or then). You can make some easy decorations out of cardboard designed to look like an apartment sized refrigerator, microwave, and computer (all within a five-foot space, of course!). Pull out some books, hang a corkboard, and you've got a dorm room.
  • To create just the right kind of light, find some lightweight, colorful fabrics to hang over the lampshades (assuming the fabric will be far enough from the light bulb to not pose a fire hazard) or use colored light bulbs. Do you still have a lava lamp?
  • A scavenger hunt is another great party activity. Scavenger hunts take guests into different locations, hunting for selected objects, people, or locations. It’s a lot of fun and gets all guests involved.
  • Music should be lively and loud! Consider a dance mix selection of current artists, or if you're reminiscing about your own college days, use music from the period. Just keep it fun and upbeat.
  • Guests can dress casually, and if you're celebrating an era, choose clothing to represent the time. Or take the challenge to dress like a college student!
