Aliens Among Us: A Guide to Hosting a Close Encounter-themed Party (like it's 2199)

Alien-person-sitting


Step into the future and plan a Close Encounter-themed  party that transcends all known boundaries of uniqueness. Packed with tips and ideas, our party guide is a valuable  resource for crafting an unforgettable occasion, from decorations to menus. Gear up for a cosmic expedition and provide  your attendees with an unforgettable futuristic celebration.

Decoration and Ambience: Set the Scene

The perfect ambience is key to any successful party. You desire that your guests have the sensation of  if they've been transported to another world.
To achieve a sinister, alien atmosphere, use dim lighting - neon blue and purple lights. Dimming the lights, decorating the space with glow-in-the-dark stars and planets, and scattering neon green and purple balloons throughout the space – all work perfectly well. Consider investing in a smoke machine or dry ice.

Alien-city


Hang up posters of space scenes. Use silver balloons and metallic decorations. Add some alien-inspired decorations, such as floating inflatable aliens and fake UFO models.
Make a playlist of songs from classic sci-fi film scores, e.g. from "E.T.," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," or "Star Trek", and play some techno or futuristic music. Make the party even more immersive by adding sound effects: ominous space screams.

Guest Attire: What to Wear

Ask your guests to get creative, the options for guest attire are virtually limitless...
Think metallic hues, futuristic fabrics, and accessories like antennae headbands or laser guns. Another suggestion would be to wear anything from silver jumpsuits to space helmets. This will provide fantastic photo opportunities for Instagram. T-shirts with images of extraterrestrial beings or spaceships can be a fun addition to any outfit. Be sure to mention T-shirts directly in your invitations, as they are a simple and affordable method to incorporate the theme into your guests' attire. Don't forget to provide guests with some accessories, such as headbands with space themes or jewellery that glows in the dark.
Even better, offer a prize to the best-dressed guest!

Themed Activities: Keeping Guests Entertained

To keep the party going, engage your guests with themed activities that fit the Close Encounter theme. Here are a few ideas:
    • Tell us your Fantasy: Ask your guests to share their wildest dream or fantasies about meeting aliens, as a fun and engaging icebreaker.
    • Alien Trivia: Test your guests' knowledge of all things extraterrestrial with an Alien-themed quiz. You can find plenty of Alien-related trivia questions online or make up your own.
    • DIYPhoto Booth: Set up a photo booth area with sci-fi props like alien masks, green face paint, astronaut helmets, and fake laser guns.
    • Alien Language Lessons: Teach your guests how to speak like an Alien with a fun language lesson.
    • Costume Contest: Encourage your guests to get creative with their outfits by hosting an Alien costume contest with prizes (Alien-themed T-shirts?) for the best-dressed Alien, the most creative outfit, and the scariest costume.
    • Alien Invasion Game: Divide your guests into two teams – Humans and Aliens. The Humans must defend their home planet while the Aliens try to invade and take over. Playing this game either inside or outside will  guarantee the active involvement of everyone. ‌
    • Scavenger hunt: Establish an immersive scavenger experience wherein guests actively embark on a quest  to discover hidden alien artifacts dispersed throughout various sections of the celebration. Promoting engagement and facilitating interaction  is a wonderful strategy. 
    • Play classic sci-fi movies like "Alien" or "E.T." Create a more captivating  ambiance for the party by having them play as background entertainment.
    • Set up a "mystery box" area where guests can put their hands inside a box to feel different "alien" objects and guess what they are. You could use items like toy spiders, rubbery toy aliens, or other sci-fi-themed objects.
    • Create an interactive game like "Escape from the Alien Planet" where guests have to solve puzzles to escape an imaginary planet.

Memorable Takeaway: Alien-inspired Party Favours

Make sure your guests have something to remember the party by with some Alien-inspired party favours. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
    • Alien Tote Bags: Send your guests home with an Alien-themed tote bag filled with party favors such as space-themed treats or toys, alien stickers, glow-in-the-dark stars, bracelets, necklaces, stickers, or alien slime, as well as small spaceship models as a fun keepsake.
    • Alien Shot Glasses: For the adults at the party, Alien-themed shot glasses are a fun and memorable takeaway.
    • Alien Keychains: Give your guests an Alien-themed keychain to remind them of the party every time they unlock their front door.
    • Create personalized T-shirts for your guests with an alien-themed design
    • Create custom stickers or magnets with an alien-themed design that guests can take home.
    • Consider setting up a DIY station where guests can make their own "space rocks" (using baking soda, vinegar, and food colouring)

Food and Drinks: Keeping Guests Fed and Hydrated

Don't forget about delicious refreshments! Here are some ideas:
    • Alien Cocktails: Mix up some neon green or purple cocktails with glow sticks for a futuristic feel. Get creative with some Alien-inspired cocktails such as "Martian Margaritas", "Galactic Grog", "Rocket Fuel, or "Galactic Gin and Tonics".
    • Space Snacks: Serve up some classic party snacks like chips and dip, but give them an extraterrestrial twist by adding some green or purple food coloring. Serve snacks like "Moon Rocks" which could be popcorn or chocolate-covered almonds.
    • Serve "alien-inspired" foods that resemble alien creatures, like green Jello with gummy worms or candy alien creatures inside; serve "alien eggs" - deviled eggs with green food coloring.
    • Cosmic Cupcakes: Bake some galaxy-themed cupcakes with black frosting and edible silver glitter.
    • Extraterrestrial Eats: If you're feeling adventurous, try serving some unusual snacks like freeze-dried space ice cream.
    • Galaxy Donuts: Serve up some donuts with galaxy-themed icing and sprinkles. That will impress  your guests.
    • Alien Smoothies: Create some colorful smoothies with exotic fruits and label them as "Alien Smoothies".
    • Provide a selection of homemade lemonades with space-themed labels, such as "Asteroid Ale" or "Saturn Soda".
Overall, the key is to be creative with the food and drinks, using unique and futuristic-looking presentation and serving styles to enhance the overall atmosphere of the party. Use metallic-colored serving trays or plates to serve food to create a futuristic feel. Use dry ice to create a smoky effect for food like fruit or desserts to create a mysterious atmosphere. Use futuristic, space-themed names for the food items, such as "Meteor Meatballs", "Martian Munchies." or "Cosmic Cupcakes". Create a "spaceship bar" with lots of neon-colored drinks and glowing ice cubes. Use test tubes or beakers to serve drinks to add a scientific touch. Serve "alien juices" with green or blue food coloring and unique garnishes like gummy worms.
