A kind gesture of a warm welcome for the newbies of the college along with a couple of drinks, a wholesome meal, and a lot of dancing is what a Fresher’s party event is all about. It is one of those euphoric moments that every student in college zestfully waits for. So go ahead and start planning a Fresher’s party for your Juniors now.

1. Come up with a Freshers Party Theme

Choose a fresher party theme according to which your juniors would dress up. Select anyone from the vast list of themes for freshers’ party like a color theme or something a bit more defined, such as Bollywood, Retro, Halloween, Harry Potter, Fantasy, etc. You can also decorate the place where you plan to host the fresher’s party according to the fresher’s party theme.

2. Find a Good Venue

Before deciding on a venue for the party, consider per head budget (should be reasonable), the ambiance of the place, and the rating of the place on websites and reviews of their past customers. If all these points are catered to, then there is nothing stopping you from throwing one hell of a Fresher’s party event.

3. Decorate the Venue

Once you have finalized the venue for the party, start with the decoration. You can include elements like balloons, ribbons, shimmery stripes, and other decorative items. You can also place some centerpieces. If you have already decided on a fancy theme, make sure the decor resembles the theme.

4. Decide on Freshers Party Outfit

It is very important to have a dress code if you plan to keep a theme for the fresher’s party. Most of the time, the students prefer Western outfits like a tuxedo or a 3-piece suit for boys and one piece for girls. However, you can be quirky and think out-of-the-box like Bollywood-inspired outfits, masquerade-style dresses, etc.

5. Freshers Party Invitation Card

Once all the pre-event things are ticked down, you can draft the invitation card to send out to the freshers. Make sure to mention the theme, dress code, and other details of the party in the invitation card. Keep the message short, welcoming, and warm.

4. Plan Kickass Music and Dance

Dance and music are two key essentials in a Fresher’s party, no matter how good the venue is, the entertainment quotient of the fresher’s party can only be increased by good music and dance enthusiasts. The seniors should make themselves amenable to talk to and make the newbies enter the dance floor. You can make this work by hiring your own DJ if budget permits or you just go with the in-house DJ provided by the venue.

5. Decide Food Menu

Hire a good Caterer who can provide your themed party with some of the most lip-smacking dishes on the food menu. Spring rolls, pizzas, burgers, pasta, noodles, etc. which are loved by teenagers will be the perfect option for your fresher’s party event. You can also customize the names of your dishes according to the theme if you’re organizing a freshers party theme.

6. Create Titles and Contests

Titles in freshers’ party events are the best way to bring a competitive spirit to everyone. To spice it up a little bit, you can choose funny titles too. These titles will ensure that not only winners of the games can win the titles, but everyone and anyone can win it. Following are a few examples of normal as well as interesting titles for a freshers’ party:

– Mr.Freshers and Mrs.Freshers

-Best Dressed

-Most Talented

-Best Gang

-Best Personality

-The Funniest Dancer

-The Biggest Bumble Bee (Flirt)

To each of these winners, you can give a Sash along with a gift for freshers party. The gifts for juniors at the fresher’s party can be something basic and useful like a Parker pen, or it could be something personalized like an acrylic pen stand with their title engraved on them. Check at your local gift shops, if you can find something that fits your budget.

7. Prepare for Performances and Hosting

Assign a person the task of hosting the event. The host has to keep the atmosphere light and funny and keep everyone at ease. You can also keep a stand-up act during the first half of the fresher’s day party. Lately, this trend has picked up among college students.

8. Plan Some Games 

Games aren’t a necessity at freshers’ parties, although it can be an advantage depending on what games you decide to keep and how well you organize them.

Decide on fun games for the party that everyone can enjoy.  These games are supposed to act as an ice-breaker and might lay a good foundation for acquaintance between juniors and seniors and also between the juniors themselves. Following are a few game ideas for the party which you can use…

Cup Castle – Games for Freshers Party

Every participant will have to drink the beverage in the cup before flipping it upside down and making a castle of it. The first one to build the castle wins.

This idea for a freshers party game requires numerous ping pong balls, a spoon and two bowls per participant. 4-5 ping pong balls would be kept in one bowl and every participant will have to scoop the balls from one bowl and transfer it into another with the help of a spoon in their mouth. The first one to complete the task, ]wins. You can have 4-5 people competing at the same time to speed up the game if the number of participants is more.

Fun With Balloon – Games for Freshers Party

Make some space for this fun party game.  There would be a starting and finish line. Every participant will have to start the race by blowing the balloon in the air and proceed towards the finish line by keeping the balloon in the air. The first one to cross the finish line wins. If the balloon touches the ground mid-race, the participant will have to start the race again. No one is allowed to touch any part of the body of the balloon.

Tag It – Games for Freshers Party

This game can be played throughout the party. The first person with a clothing pin will start this game by putting the pin on anybody’s clothes, hair, or bag and going around the room and yelling “Tagged It”. Everyone has 5 seconds to find out who has been tagged and if the person is unable to find the pin within 5 seconds, he will be given a task as a punishment.
