Depends on the age group. My niece was at an 'American Prom' night and she said it was brilliant. Easy enough to do, I'd imagine.
Have a look here for some ideas.

How about a James Bond night? (looks down to sig!) I have all the theme tunes, and an excellent little gadget called a 00DJ! The James Bond of DJing! You could get all your guests to dress as different chracters from the films.

Why not write various characters from the films, (check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond for the full list!) on post it notes and stick them out of the persons view, (forehaed/back etc). Then the person has to guess who they are by asking others questions. They can only reply yes or no. So they can ask am I a villain? etc.

As regards to food, martinis are the obvious choice, but you could make pretty much any drink really. According to one site James Bond claims to 'Prefer the ordinary plain food of the country' He does like Vodka & Tonic or champange, you could replace that with sparkling wine from Tesco!

In Live and Let Die, he eats little neck clams and fried chicken maryland. Obviously little neck clams are out, but you could get some southern fried chicken pieces from tesco again. Also he likes Tagliatelle Verdi when in italy, but of course this can't really be served cold - goes bit rubbery!

You could do it like the ice hotel, lots of shiny paper, and cellophane. Or check out the link I gave for the list of bond information. Might jog your memory for the themes of the films. Alternatively as the last film was called Casino Royale, you could decorate like a casino. Chips, fake money, coins, cheap n tatty jewelery etc? :pac:

Vicars & Tarts? When I was young [many moons ago!], the tarts were the men and the vicars were the women. If you are going as a tart, go as a saloon tart. They are brilliant costumes! Bright, gaudy, easy! You need a corset top, satiny flouncy skirt [pin it up on one side to show one leg off] fishnet tights, heeled ankle boots, garter, feather boa, and lots of sparkly jewellry [the more the better!] Pin your hair up in an untidy but sexy bun [like you do when you have a bath kinda thing] and go and enjoy! And don't forget a fan to hang off your wrist to complete the look.

+1 for the idea of a James Bond party, have been to a couple and they're great. That or an 80's party and it was flippin great, loads of scope for outfits and everyone gets nostalgic about the music.

I tried golden pages and came up with these guys www.fancycostume.ie . Have to say I got sorted with a nifty pilot costume. Just me hapenny's worth but the beach party theme has to be the one for the summer
