4 Themes for a Night In With Friends 

Sometimes, you can’t beat a night in with friends. This can be a more casual, intimate, and relaxing experience compared to going out (and much cheaper!), but you will want to pick a good theme for your party. A theme can take a party from average to unforgettable, especially if you get creative with music, costumes, and decor. Here are a few of the best themes to consider for your next night in with friends.

1. Casino

Casino nights are among the most fun to organise. Your party can include games like poker, roulette, and bingo – all games that most people know and will enjoy playing. If you do not have the equipment to play these games at home, you can decide to play online bingo or online Megaways slot games to make things easier. A casino theme also gives people the excuse to get dressed up, which always makes parties special and more memorable. 

2. Murder Mystery

Murder mystery parties are growing in popularity as they can be so fun and immersive. There are many murder mystery stories already drafted that you can use, which can help cut back on preparation time, but if you want to save money and be creative, you could write your own story.

Murder mysteries encourage people to fully immerse themselves, which will always create an unforgettable experience with friends. 

3. Film Theme

If you and your friends are passionate about film, hosting a movie-themed party is a terrific idea. This could be one specific film or franchise that you all love, or you could adopt a broader theme and allow people to come dressed up as their favourite characters. You could also screen films in the background during the party, decorate with iconic posters, and host a film trivia.

4. 70s Disco

It is hard to beat 70s disco as a theme, as this always makes for an entertaining evening with the dress code, decor, and music. Some of the icons from this decade that can influence the soundtrack and costumes include Elton John, Farrah Fawcett, Diana Ross, and James Brown. Just make sure that you have plenty of space for dancing!

Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas for themes for your next get-together with friends. A night in with friends can beat a night out, but you want to make sure that you have a fun theme that everyone can sink their teeth into that will make the party more fun, engaging, and memorable.
