Wanna give your party a fun spin? Here's how:

CHOOSE A THEME - Pick something interesting of course but it should also be easy and preferably cheap to execute. Since themed parties usually come with a dress code, make sure it's something your guests can easily put together.
KEEP IT REAL - Research your theme to get an idea of all the elements you'll need for the party. This should include food, decor, party favours, invites and also what you'll be wearing. Scour the Net for ideas.
MAKE AN ITINERARY - If you like a lively shindig, plan games to go with the theme. For instance, you could hold a dart-throwing contest (in place of bows and arrows) at a Robin Hood-themed party. Prefer something more laid-back? Play music or a movie that matches the theme to get guests in the mood.
GO EASY ON YOU - Not everything on your party-planner list has to fully co-ordinate with the theme. For example, the main dish could be an outstanding presentation to fit the theme, which should compensate for the rest of the food. Or if your theme is Hawaiian, you can skip the bamboo chairs and make do with a pineapple-print tablecloth. Remember, a party is meant to be fun not stressful!
