3 of the Most Bizarre Party Ideas Ever

Dec 16, 2015

Now more than ever, it’s common to think outside of the box when planning a party. With so many things to celebrate, and so many creative ways to celebrate, it’s no wonder festivals are more common than ever. However, sometimes, party themes can quickly step outside of the creative realm and come off as plain old strange.

Here are some of the weirdest party themes and ideas out there. Along with these wacky celebrations, we’ve countered them with some feasible suggestions for creative, alternative party ideas!

Roadkill Cookoff

Every September in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, hundreds gather round for the annual Roadkill Cookoff, where they feast on the free furry creatures who meet their tragic demise on the side of the road. Some of the feature dishes include ‘Rigormortis Bear Stew’ and ‘Thumper Meets Bumper.’

Instead, try…B.Y.O. Meat (or Veggie!)
Road kill is definitely not everyone’s favorite cup of tea. However, there’s nothing wrong with a little variety of food. For your event, ask everyone to bring their own choice of meat or vegetarian option such as tofu or veggies. Rent an extra grill or two to ensure there’s enough room for everyone and get cooking! Everyone can mix and match, find new favorites, and have fun preparing food together. Besides, it will save you money in the long run!

Louisiana Mudfest

This festival takes place on 300 acres of squishy, dirty, mud. Off-road vehicles mud ride, and adults of all ages romp around, getting soaked from head to toe.

Instead, try…A Planned Activity
Sure, kickball might be a lot less messy than frolicking in the mud, but it’s just as much fun! Give your guests a chance to let loose and break free from the stuffy guise of parties. Ask them to bring casual clothing as an option and whip out the kickball to let the fun begin!

Burning Man

Located in the deserts of California, Burning Man happens once a year. People from all over the world gather to show their art, express themselves, and generally act weird. Stepping into Burning Man is like stepping into another world, where there’s always something new to try.

Instead, try…Creating Your Own Escape
If you’re having a backyard party, it’s possible to make your own magical oasis, right from the comforts of your own home. For this, consider tent rentals. Using as many tent rentals as you’d like, create unique, themed spaces using your own artistic decor elements, aided with table linen rentals, chair rentals, and table rentals from the same company. Each tent can be its own theme, clad with its own unique color scheme, carried out through the linens and tablecloths you rented. All you need is music, the right lighting, and you’ve instantly created a mood. That’s the beauty of tent rentals.
