5 "NO REASON" PARTY IDEAS

Sometimes the urge to par-tay can come upon you out of thin air and you don't always want to wait for a holiday or birthday to celebrate.  Here's an idea - throw a party for no reason at all!  These awesome "no reason" party ideas are totally doable, inexpensive and ridiculously awesome!  So... get out your camera, call up your friends and get ready to host the party of the year... just because!

1) SOUP POTLUCK

Okay, if you've never made soup before it's understandable if a soup potluck sounds like you'd need a lot of prep time to make it happen.  What you'll be happy to know is that soup is one of the easiest, most delicious and most forgiving foods you can prepare.  You can seriously make a killer soup in 20 minutes from food that you've probably already got lying around the house.  Also, there are a bazillion soup recipes all over the internet.  Just go on Pinterest and type in "easy soup recipes" and get ready to be overloaded with deliciousness!  If you're really unsure of your cooking skills, you can always go out and buy canned soup and say that you made it... odds are no one will ever know the difference.  For an extra dose of awesome have everyone anonymously vote on their favorite soup and give a prize and home-made ribbon to the winner.

2) JOHN HUGHES PARTY

It's a fact - everyone loves the movies of John Hughes.  So why not tap into this universal adoration by throwing a John Hughes party?  Have everyone dress up as their favorite John Hughes character and be sure to take plenty of angsty photos.  The '80s and '90s are back in style, so your guests will probably have something Hughes-y in their closet already.  Also, Netflix is always streaming at least one John Hughes movie, so be sure to put your favorite on in the background while you party the night away while dancing to The Psychedelic Furs and eating Cheetos.

3) DISNEY MOVIE MARATHON

Don't deny it... you sneak a little Disney into your life when no one's around.  Whether it's a Disney song at work or Disney on Netflix before bed, everyone does it, so why not share the Disney love by throwing a Disney movie marathon?  This party takes no preparation and can be ultra casual - your friends can even come in their pajamas!  If the spirit moves you, turn the Disney movie marathon into a full-on throwback '90s Disney slumber party complete with Gushers, hair braiding and Truth or Dare and prank calls to that special prince or princess.

4) FUTURE YOU PARTY

Everyone has thought about what their life will be like in 10... 20... or 30 years... what they'll be doing, what they'll be wearing, where they'll live... so why not turn those curiosities into an unforgettable "no reason" party?  Tell guests to dress as their future selves and get ready to learn things you never knew about your friends and their hopes for the future.  If you're feeling crafty, you can put a sign on the front door that says something like, "PORTAL TO THE FUTURE".  It may sound cheesy, but trust us - people will be all about it.  Make sure to take lots of pictures that you can look back on when it actually is the future (did we just blow your mind their or what?!).  Be sure to put on the Back To The Future trilogy on in the background while you party like it's 2045!

5) SEVENTIES ROLLER DISCO PARTY

You may not know it, but you probably have a totally groovy roller rink within an hour of where you live.  Don't believe us?  GOOGLE IT!  If you've never been roller skating then you are in for a treat, sister!  Have your friends dress up in awesome '70s clothes with awesome '70s hair and get ready to have a far out time.  Most roller rinks have real live DJs playing their tunes, so you can request your favorite song to get down to.  Also, many roller rinks have different music theme nights and they may already have a night specifically dedicated to the '70s!
