Costume and theme parties are a huge part of college life.

If you think you’ve been to every kind of themed costume party there is, think again. There are so many college themed party ideas to try!

Dressing like Disney princesses in 2020

What better way to celebrate your college graduation than with a Disney theme party? Whether you go for only old favorites like Mickey and Minnie or mix in some of the newer Marvel characters, it’s sure going be an evening full of fun!

12. Graffiti Party

This college party idea is perfect for anyone who loves to be creative and break all the rules. Basically, the people throwing the party put poster boards or paper all around their place and give party-goers the ability to “tag” these areas (usually with sharpies). Black lights are common so wear something bright or white!

11. Catholic School

This is a party theme we’ve seen a lot more on campus in recent years. Basically, it’s a glorified excuse to rock Britney-esque “Baby One More Time” schoolgirl outfits, but if you’re down with that, this one is a fun theme. Expect lots of dudes dressed as priests.

10. Tight and Bright

This one is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to be creative with clothes you have, or borrow from friends to create a look that’s cute and fun.

The rules: any article of clothing you wear has to be both brightly colored and skin tight. This one is especially funny for guys, who aren’t as used to wearing tight clothing, and usually come up with some funny outfits.
