Games

  • Wrap the Mummy- In this game, there should be teams of 2 with a tissue roll. One person would be the mummy and the other one would wrap the first one. The team that wraps the whole tissue roll to make a mummy wins.
  • Belly shake- In this game, participants will have to wrap a scarf that will have tied flowers on the strings. Every participant will have to shake their belly like the dancers to shake off the flowers. The winner would be the one who successfully shakes off all the flowers of his/her belly scarf.

Tropical/Hawaiian Theme

Got exotic vibes? Then the relaxing tropical Hawaiian theme is perfect for your party.

  • Choose an Outdoor Venue or a beach resort that would be perfect for this theme.
  • To match the decor with the theme, ask your decorator to make use of organic elements like hay, bamboo, coconut tree parts, luau masks, flowers, etc.
  • Ask your guests to join the party in their sundresses and glasses to go with the theme.
  • Get a Hawaiian Tiki Masks’ Photo Booth and Hawaiian special props like flower crowns, funky sunglasses, Hula skirts, etc. For fun photography. Also, don’t forget to hire a good Photographer as you can’t afford to miss out on these moments.

Games

  • Quidditch Pong- This game is similar to the beer pong theme game. Just to make it theme-relevant, put up three high stands. Rules remain almost the same but the player will have to throw the ball through the stand. With every goal, 5 points will be awarded to the team.

  • Snape’s Potion- This can be an interesting as well as a fun drinking game. Every house will select 3 house members to form their team. Every team gets to choose 3 base drinks from 5 drinks to make a delicious cocktail. Once every team is done, one person who is the judge will be blindfolded and will taste the drinks. The tastiest drink according to him, wins! Additional 10 points for the team.
  • Find the Golden Snitch- Not exactly a game but a hunt for the golden snitch which would be hidden anywhere in the venue. You can instruct your guests in the invitation about the golden snitch hunt which they can start as soon as they enter the party. The team which finds the golden ball, gets 50 points.

At the end of the party, tally all points and announce the winning team and award them with Harry potter styled gifts.
