"You know how sometimes you&amp;#x27;ll have a party and it&amp;#x27;s just OK? But not amazingly fun? Well, I&amp;#x27;ve realized something in my old age: Every party needs a theme. That is the secret trick to having a great party every time. Check out my favorite themes after the jump--and tell me yours! For my costume, I tried to channel the movie Bonnie and Clyde. * Decades. This past Saturday, my boyfriend and I threw a 1930&amp;#x27;s party to celebrate the (new) Depression. We mixed bourbon and ginger ale, served apples and peanuts, and played Bing Crosby. Everyone dressed in old suits, pencil skirts and berets. It was really fun! See more photos here, if you&amp;#x27;d like--and read Ryan&amp;#x27;s funny story about chatting up our guests, and Margarita&amp;#x27;s genius advice for about staving off late-night party munchies. * Travel. Ask your guests to wear their favorite travel accessory (a necklace they bought in Mexico, a Detroit-Is-For-Lovers tee...) and decorate your place with inflatable globes and paper airplanes. Ask everyone to bring a drink from their favorite place in the world. * Moustaches. You can also pick something totally random, like, say, moustaches. The blogger Winona went to a soiree where everyone wore fake &amp;#x27;stashes--check out her funny photos! Why are themed parties so awesome? Because people get excited to come and it gives everyone something fun to talk about! My readers, what are your favorite party themes? Have you been to any rad ones? I&amp;#x27;d love to hear your ideas..."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
