Halloween is great because it gives us a right to free candy, to go shopping and to wear things that would otherwise get you some strange looks the other 364 days of the year. It’s one of the only holidays that is completely customizable to our own likes or lets us wholly indulge in long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night.
On top of that, Halloween remains the perfect time of year to stretch those DIY skills, and what better way to do that then with a themed Halloween party? 2016 has been an interesting year so far, and before we say goodbye to it, it should be celebrated.
If there’s one thing that should be avoided in casual conversation but be exploited for maximum costume potential, it’s politics. While politics have always been around, there’s only a U.S. Presidential Election around every four years – and the 2016 election happens to be one of the most explosive ones we’ve seen. Anybody who’s anybody is keeping at least one eye on the election this year, which can make for a hilariously quotable night. Such a theme would give the party-thrower an opportunity to transform their living space into a debate hall or the Oval Office in the White House. Just remember to keep things light and to keep the night in good fun!
After sweeping the Emmy’s last month, there’s no denying that Game of Thrones is dominating the television-viewing world. The fact that most of your guests will likely have a clear idea of who’s who and the current relationships among each character is only a part of the appeal. A Game of Thrones themed Halloween party would give your guests so many great costume ideas and give you so many awesome locations to build your theme around. Maybe you dedicate one side of your living room to Essos and the other to Westros, or maybe you make your entire party area a replica of King’s Landing. Whatever you choose to go with, make sure to browse PriceReel for the best deals on decorations.
If you’ve spent any time on the internet in the last few years, you’ve probably been bombarded with your fair share of internet memes. Their popularity tends to rise and fall with the sun, which has left 2016 with brand-new memes here for us to take full advantage of. Who hasn’t heard something or another about Harambe or seen the “Damn, Daniel” Snapchats? Picture a tea-drinking Kermit walking around the party telling other memes it’s “none of his business,” and what you’re seeing is a beautiful reimagining of the internet in 2016.
While this theme is as old as they come, our current list of Superheroes and villains keeps getting refurbished, polished and improved. With all of the Marvel and D.C. Comics movies and TV shows that have come out in the last few years, there is a whole new set of characters ready to have their time in the sun. Sure, some of them have been around for years in comic book form, but for a lot of people, this is the first time they’re seeing it. Jessica Jones, Doctor Strange, Harley Quinn, Luke Cage and Deadpool are just a few of the characters for your guests could have fun with. Such a theme also makes way for the opportunity to go shopping with your friends to coordinate outfits or host a costume competition among your guests.
Oscar themed parties are perfect for people who have a really nice dress or suit hanging in the back of their closet and nowhere to wear them, or for people who need an excuse to go shopping… a.k.a. everybody. There were so many great red-carpet looks this year that would be so fun to recreate, and so many celebrity make-ups and break-ups that would be hilarious to play on. Transform your party area into a lavish scene, filled with recognizable knickknacks themed treats. It doesn’t have to be expensive; it only has to look expensive. To cut down your costs, make sure to check PriceReel for some low-priced essentials. Also, is there really any better couple’s outfit this year than going as Leonardo DiCaprio and his Oscar? No.
Halloween is one of the only holidays you can make revolve around anything you want. Don’t skip this opportunity to play up your interests and get a happening party out of it!
