Cool French Theme Party Ideas
If you’re in the mood for being arrogant, throwing insults at your friends and family and indulging in other French stereotypes, then why not throw a French theme party?
A French theme party is also your chance to listen to bad music, drink wine and eat cheese on French loaf. For some ideas to make your French theme party incredible, see below:
The best part of a French theme party is the costumes. Guys; think black and white horizontal stripy tops, French berets, little beards, thin moustache and an onion necklace. Try and go a week or two without showering or shaving before the party.
Girls; you can dress up hilariously the same if you wish, minus the beard and moustache of course. Or you could opt for a French maid or Marie Antoinette look.
Get plenty of red, white and blue balloons for your decorations. These represent the 3 colors of the French tricolor. Hang a large French flag on the wall and set up a photography area in front so your guests can take photos to remember the party.
Get some wooden tables and chairs and plenty of fresh flowers. Try to make your venue look like a French cafe (think of the film Amalie). Get some models of the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees.
To make your party more memorable, you could consider hiring a mime artist or a French artist to draw pictures of your guests.
For food, consider hiring a French chef to make plenty of hors d’oeuvres. You could place them all on a table and allow your guests to pick and choose. Or you could just make it a cheese eating party, in which case, don’t forget the fine French wine! Finally consider hiring a wine expert to give a talk!
