Do it…Just Do It

Having been in a sorority for four years, it should also not come as a surprise that I love theme parties! So when I got an e-mail invitation last week to attend Santana’s ‘Santoga’ birthday party, I was eager to fumble through my closet and happily found a sarong and shoe laces = a homemade toga. Brilliant.
A Rule to Live by: No matter what the theme, no matter who’s party it is, you should always dress up.
Think of it this way- If it was your party, wouldn’t you want the people who came to dress up?
And even knowing it is someone else’s party, wouldn’t you want to be one of the few dressed up at a theme party rather than part of the minority who didn’t dress up?
In my experience, I have found that Beijingers totally get into theme parties and in this case, considering that it was Santana’s birthday party, I was safe to assume that I would not be the only one turning up in a toga.
When you get into a theme party and go all out, it doesn’t just convey to others that you are fun and creative, but it also shows the party host/organizer that you care. No one who decides to have a theme party wants people to not dress up. Although it’s expected that not everyone will dress up, the host is always delighted by those who took the time and made the effort to play along. It’s all part of the fun, the more people who dress up, the more people get into the theme party, thus, the rowdier the partier gets and everyone has more fun!
