Choose between a general ‘Sci Fi’ party, or narrow it down by picking a specific theme within the sci-fi genre. For example you may want to try a Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, cyberpunk, or a general sci-fi theme.
Like with this – Rubie’s Men’s Dune Deluxe Paul Costume Jumpsuit, Hooded Cloak, and Mask.
Once you have picked your theme create invitations that match.
Digital invites can be cheaper, quicker, easy to personalize and more eco friendly.
Go to sites like Zazzle to get personalized invites.
Have fun decorating your space and transporting guests to another world. Consider using movie posters, spaceship cutouts, alien figures, and LED lights to create a futuristic ambiance.
Encourage guests to come dressed as characters from favorite sci-fi series. Offer a prize for the best costume.
Set up a photo booth with props related to the theme for guests to take pictures.
Create a playlist featuring iconic sci-fi soundtracks and electronic music to set the mood.
Organize sci-fi trivia quizzes, board games, or card games related to the genre. Award prizes to the winners.
Create a menu inspired by your theme. For example, Star Wars parties can have Wookiee cookies and Yoda soda. Themed cocktails and mocktails can also be a hit.
Present awards for best costume, best sci-fi trivia player, and any other sci-fi-related achievements.
