Partying is why we go to college in the first place, lets face it, it's the truth. It's the best time to be throwing parties, but don't let your first party be a boring run of the mill party! Try one of our college party theme ideas. Take a look at the list for some inspiration.

1. Hollywood - Your Hollywood theme party will be remembered forever by your buddy's. You could hire a professional photographer to take a glamour shot of your guests as they arrive in front of a backdrop. Perhaps a red carpet can lead up to your entrance?

2. Toga - Toga parties are college favorites due to their ease and cost effectiveness. You need to recreate an ancient Greek or Roman setting perhaps with pillars and busts etc. The toga is extremely simple to make, it can in fact be a white bed sheet and you are set.

3. Mexican - The food at your Mexican party is going to be a big centre piece. Get plenty of tacos and allow your guests to choose their own filling from the beef and chili dishes on offer. Corona and lime, also plenty of margaritas for drink.

4. James Bond - Hire an Astin Martin for the drive way if in your budget. You can get a best of Bond theme music CD to create the atmosphere. The drinks, martini shaken not stirred of course!

5. Hawaiian - This theme should centre around a surf shack. Ideally this is where your guests would make their own cocktails like the Aloha or the Hawaiian Heartbreaker. Scatter sea shells and coconuts around the place. The food should be plenty of fruit on skewers, allow your guests to skewer their own from the bowls provided.

6. French - Draw on a thin moustache for this theme and play French cafe music. Drink fancy wine and eat cheese on French loaf. The costumes will be hilarious with many people looking very similar. Don't forget the onion necklace!
