Hi, just looking for some ideas on how to throw an end of the world party! Mine and a friends birthday falls on the 22nd Dec so we were thinking of having our party the day before and in theme with the Mayans 2012 doomsday prediction :P

My 21st is the 21st of December and I was thinking of doing that too. Just afraid that the world will actually end and I'll only get half a party so I might scrap the idea and have it the week before just in case. :P I was just gonna put loads of different clocks and calenders everywhere but that seemed a bit crap. It's a great idea but it's tough to actually materialise.

Yeah I had the clock idea myself aswell as have someone at the door in a "The End Is Nigh" sandwich board handing out little flashlights and toy guns etc, little survival packs :P
Is there a certain time the world is supposed to end or anything to maybe have a countdown? Was thinking of making drinking games for throughout the night aswell, any ideas on that?

Are you using:
~ the Mayan theme since the end of the world is based off the Mayan Calendar coming to an end;
~ a Heaven / Hell theme;
~ Death theme using Halloween fittings;

Once you have a theme decided on, the remainder eg: costume, food, music, party favours etc could be easier to organise then

Watch 'The Day After Tomorrow' and '2012' and all those kinda movies, get inspiration. The pack thing is a cool idea! You could decorate the place like a bomb shelter or something too. Awh the more I think about it the more I wanna do it but I think I'm just a bit girly for it, if it wasn't my 21st I definitely would. I'd say ye will have a cracker of a night!

@Kerry4Sam I was gonna go for the Mayans and make it have a bit of a mexican feel but I think the Heaven and Hell theme could be easier and more fun to put together, thinking of having a "Bowl Of Consequence" which'll have scraps of paper with end of the world situations in it, which you resolve using good or bad, and get a halo or devil horns to wear for the night depending on which you get, does that make sense/sound any good?

@TheRealSquishy Deffinatley need to brush up those movies and steal some ideas :P

...

Heaven/Hell or re-name to Saints and Sinners perhaps?

More options with this I'd say. Your suggestions here are perfect along with Off-hand:

~ Angels vs. Devils, White vs. Red, Cool vs. Hot, Soft vs. Hard, Sugary vs. Spicy, Sweet vs. Sinister

~ Spin bottle with one end white for Heaven and the other red for Hell: Whomever the Heaven end points to must tell or do something which is good. The person opposite, at the Hell end of the bottle, must admit or do something bad.

~ Are you able to divide your premises for the Red and White?

~ Costumes would be handy to put together, not expensive for people either

~ How are you set for food options?

~ Be mindful of those at non-drinking age / non-drinkers at ell even when preparing punches etc (Can ruin a good night!)

Just wear helmets because the end of the world might cause slates to fall of roofs.
