Things that begin with the letter “c” Parties provide a theme without being too limiting to your attendees. Anyone can participate! You don’t need to own a wookie costume, a Hawaiian shirt, fishnet stockings, or any of the other items you might find yourself having to track down to participate in a more limiting party theme. Pick a letter, and go with it. You and your guests can take it as far as you like. For the sake of this example, we’ll use the letter “C”. How to get started Ask your guests to come as something that begins with the letter “C”. If your friends Chris, Candace, Charlie, and Catherine come dressed as themselves, it is perfectly acceptable to ban them from any other event you put on that requires an ounce of creative spirit. There are lots of options once you have a think. Here are some ideas to get you started: Christmas tree Dress all in green, dig out those ornaments and ask a friend to decorate you! Convenience Store Fashion yourself some cardboard shelves to put around your neck and stock them with chips and candy. You will be the most popular person at the party. Cleopatra You will need a black bob wig, some eyeliner and some gauzy lounge-wear Cloud Dress in baby blue and stick some cotton baton on your clothing. Make a hat out of cotton and stick a toy airplane in it. Captain You could be the captain of anything! The captain of a ship, Captain Hook, Captain Kirk, Captain Kangaroo…there are many options in this category. Charlie’s Angels Perfect for three, and even four people if you have someone to go as Charlie. Any number of people through the ages Charlie Chaplin, Christopher Columbus, Christ, the list goes on and on. Food and drink Anything that begins with the letter “C” is appropriate. Snacks: Corn nuts, chips, cashews, cheese, carrots, cauliflower, celery and dip More than snacks: Chicken wings/fingers, calzones, casseroles, cheeseburgers, chili, Chinese cuisine Desserts: Chocolate, candies, caramels, cake, cherry pie, cinnamon roles Drink: Champagne, caesars, Coors, Colt 45 malt liquor. Or, you could just serve cocktails. Music Any band/artist that begins with the letter C will work.

As you can see, Things That Begin With The Letter “C” parties are a creative way to bring people together, while still having a good time.
