Organizing a theme party is fun and exciting since it involves creativity and resourcefulness. Theme parties are almost always associated with dressing up and just having pure fun and nothing else. With theme parties, one is allowed to go as crazy as can be without hurting your reputation afterwards. This is the perfect opportunity to socialize, at the same time satisfy that inner urge to be a child again; like a license to second childhood!
Unfortunately, those parties organized by younger adults are more often than not, directed to their age-group and not so favorable to older adults. Maybe because it’s somewhat hard to decipher which themes work with us best. Also, many event planners just rely on what’s in fashion rather than spend actual time in getting to know what the participants need. It goes without saying that the best event planner for senior events should also be a senior or at least at the same age bracket of the participants.
Some of the most popular events which involve senior participation are birthdays and anniversaries. As you can see, every year is worth celebrating than the last so virtually, seniors won’t run out of occasions to celebrate. An average, boring day can even compel a senior to an impromptu get-together with minimal fuss. Why not add flair to these get-togethers then? Here are some theme party ideas for seniors:
· Prom. This one I like best. Prom theme parties are great as it will require us to dress up, dance to “our” music and just relieve the glory days. Prom theme parties are great for class reunions and homecoming. Prepare activities that are similar to the ones you did way back then and don’t forget your king and queen!
· Medieval Costume Party. This one’s a hit! Seniors will surely get a kick out of medieval costume parties as they get to dress up and feel supreme!
· Poker/Casino nights. This can be done for a beneficiary or in other words, for fundraising purposes. Seniors love to play and feel the rush that comes with it. What better way to satisfy this urge than doing it for a cause?
· Luaus. Well, one of the most popular themes for all ages, the luaus or Hawaiian parties.
· Western parties. I truly believe western parties are the easiest to organize since we seem to have collected western-styled outfits through the years. Just have a quick look inside your closet and you’ll see.
