For those looking to throw a party that is suitable for singles, it is important to remember to provide a youthful and fun-loving atmosphere. After all, singles parties often serve as rendezvous spots for young (or old) individuals seeking romance, so the overall vibe should be carefree, laid-back and lively. There are various suitable party themes for those looking to organize a singles party. - Retro parties are fun ways for singles to remember the days when they were children or teenagers. The wacky and wild decade of the 1980s is a popular singles party theme involving lots of music from the decade, including Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." Show prominent flicks from the decade, such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty In Pink. Singles should dress up in the unforgettable attire and style of the 1980s, with shoulder pads, leg warmers and big, crimped hair.
- One popular singles party theme is "Sex and the City," the hit HBO television show of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The television show depicted life for career-oriented singles in New York City. This singles party calls for elegant cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, think bruschetta, canapes and various French cheeses, and dress up in designer attire (everything from Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos to Vera Wang and Prada). Decorate with stylish touches. Lay copies of high fashion magazines, like Vogue and Elle, on tables and strategically place shopping bags from high-end stores, like Saks Fifth Avenue, around the room.
- Another fun retro singles party idea is to throw a 1950s-style sock hop. Sock hops were casual organized dances held in high schools all over the United States during the 1950s. The name "sock hop" came from the fact that individuals removed their shoes while dancing to avoid causing damage to the schools' gymnasium floors. Guests should be encouraged to wear classic sock hop apparel and accessories, including cat eyeglasses and poodle skirts. Girls should throw their hair back in ponytails. Include 1950s memorabilia, such as posters of Elvis Presley and pictures of jukeboxes or Coca-Cola soda fountains. Serve hamburgers, root beer floats and bubble gum. For extra '50s flair, one of the night's activities could be a bubble gum blowing contest.
- Base another singles party around The Brady Bunch television show, which was wildly popular in the 1970s. The Brady Bunch party could feature exciting disco music from the decade (think the Bee Gees and Donna Summer), bell bottoms, platform shoes, maxi dresses, trouser suits and the overall hippie look. Guests of the party could also dress up as cast members of the show, such as Marcia or Greg Brady, Carol or Mike Brady or even Alice, the housekeeper.
