autumnrae89 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think we already knew that one of them was going to be 1930/40's themed. But what is a big band ballroom? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think we already knew that one of them was going to be 1930/40's themed. But what is a big band ballroom? lol Sounds like they mean appropriate decor and maybe dancing to the sounds of Glenn Miller, and the like. Very much like the ballroom in 'Captain Jack Harkness.' Ballroom dance is fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted May 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2008 The parties have themes, but not everyone dresses up for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyfinch Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The parties have themes, but not everyone dresses up for them Ooooh I LOVE Glenn Miller! I take it we get to decide on the themes then, since the 1940's/30's theme was suggested by a user in another thread? Excellent! I personally don't have any suggestions, but I'm sure there are lots of others... I've googled "party themes", and Top 50 Themed Party Ideas looks rather helpful. A masked ball looks good!

BondageBarbie Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 one we have decided on is 1930's 1940's big band ballroom theme we have another one what do you want it to be have your say Jason Yay! That's the one I suggested in the other thread, so I'm happy Not sure about the other one though. How about a "what did you want to be?" party, where everyone dresses up as the thing they wanted to be when they grew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulou Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 As Captain Jack is from the 51st century, how about a futuristic theme?!? We already have one set in the past so why not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That site's great. I'm doing a masked ball for my 30th next year, but I'd never seen this one before: Rubik's cube party Tell everyone to come dressed in a combination of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and white. By the end of the evening they must be dressed solely in one colour! it would certainly get people talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma_Adams Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hmm, the things you guys have suggested are cool and all, but...dont the themes usually have something to do with the show? *High school USA and Petrelli ball at eclipse...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone would look the same, and how would you dress up a dining room as The Hub? I think people coming dressed as characters for autographs and talks etc is great, but I think the parties should definitely have their own twist!

Perhaps we could all come as an alien species of some kind or another. Certainly lots of scope for imaginative costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark witch Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 you read my mind i was thinking the exact same thing, well torchwood crew will be there so why not give them a room full of aliens to deal with lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxy-Song Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) oh this sounds like fun Ill have to go search google to see what they actualy wore then but Im sure Ill find somthing. I think I already have my outfit for this. I would love it be like club noir a burlesque club we have in Scotland when I did I search for 1930's fashion it keeps coming up Mafia fashion :) good excuse as any to were a pin stripe suit:) Edited May 14, 2008 by Galaxy-Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night for the good and one night for the naughty? The Masked party sounds cool as well. But from the sounds of it loads of people want to be different things so what if our second party was called Out of Time and you could come as anyone dressed in any time period. That way everyone is happy? There may even be cube people in the future. Edited May 14, 2008 by autumnrae89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way everyone is happy? I like that idea, would be much easier than than the other party for me! But still gonna be cool to see everyone dressed up! See now I really want it to be October to see all this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klf112 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 LOVE the Burlesque idea!!!!! Do many people dress up for the partys...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess83 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I adore the 1930s/40s era so I might actually join in with this one, and I'm not even into fancy dress type stuff usually. But I think it would be fun to get a nice dress and get glamed up retro style for one night, so nice idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) I really like the 'Out of Time' idea, as it allows everything. People could give nods to past and future themes from the show, they could come as Roman soldiers or plague victims (a la 'End of Days'), they could come as they are; anything goes! Not to mention the fact that those responsible for decor could have a field day! Edited May 14, 2008 by Blackbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sazzra Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So glad the 1930s/1940s is happening (as someone who discovered an authentic 1940s dress at the bottom of her wardrobe ). I can't really think of anything else show related that hasn't been suggested, unless it's all Torchwoods (past, present and future) combined. Yeah, pants, I know For those who are thinking 'what's the whole big band thing like?', I suggest watching the beginning of Memphis Belle, the bit before they actually get anywhere near planes.

vamperstein Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I love the masked ball and the alien ideas :] The trouble with a masked ball is that it will only really work if *everyone* dresses up for it... if you only have a handful of folks in masks it'll be a bit pants really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
