Toga Party

Did you say toga parties are good 18th birthday party ideas?

Yes, I said toga party. This is the type of party that parents are a bit afraid of, mostly due to the movie Animal House. Yes, I feel your pain! But honestly, when done right, this party is so much fun.

To really get the feel of the toga party you will have to decorate your house a bit, we are not talking bringing roman sculptures in, just adding a few touches here and there can do wonders for the mood.

Of course, the invitation should let your guests know that togas are mandatory! You want everyone to get into it and wearing a toga is the best way to do it.

The food served should be Mediterranean type dishes that consist of mostly fresh foods and might include different types of:

• fish and poultry
• Vegetables and Fruits
• Grains
• Nuts
• Olives
• Dairy

And don't forget to have some great Music for dancing!

Some other great entertainment for the party is

National Lampoon's Animal House

This can also make a great themed gift!

This is a really fun idea for college parties too!
