If you’re thinking of throwing a fun party, you might as well make it a theme party. One of the most popular themes is a James Bond party theme.

Statistics repeatedly show that theme parties are much more enjoyable and are remembered in a much better light. So why not take a look at the following James Bond party theme ideas:

1. Decide early on if you are going to have an open James Bond party theme, where your guests can do as they please, or you are going to make it a specific Bond film or character. Perhaps you could have a casino like in Casino Royale?

2. For costumes, the ladies will thank you for the chance to dress up as glamorously as they like. They could also go for a Miss Goodnight, Jinx or Pussy Galore look.

3. For the guys, the costumes are great! Expect to see many evil people at your party such as Blotheld, Jaws, Oddjob and Goldfinger. You could also come in black tie especially if you’re having a casino sub theme.

4. Put on a Russian accent at the entrance to greet your guests. Check for concealed weapons!

5. Get yourself a long red carpet. Have it stretch from the entrance up to the bar. Your guests could then be offered a Martini, shaken not stirred!

6. Whether you are having a casino or not, get some roulette wheels, poker tables, chips and cards for decorations.

7. Hire an Austin Martin to park in the driveway, of course budget dependant! Get other Bond paraphernalia such as movie posters and a Walther PPK.

8. The obvious choice of music would be the various Bond theme tunes.

9. For food, get some finger buffets. There should be plenty of variety! You could also hire a waiter if you have a budget!

10. For your drinks, you should get in plenty of champagne! Also and obviously Martini, shaken not stirred!
