Create an urban edginess to your party -- consider a graffiti theme.

Invitations ...
I guess we have a theme going here -- formal invitations seem unnecessary and even down right boring in the context of a college party. Hand deliver white t-shirts (and if you want, white shorts  or sweat pants ) to all your guests. Write all the essential party info on the shirt with 
multi-colored fabric markers. The day of your party, think about shooting t-shirts with sling shots  (like they do at professional ballgames) into crowds around campus. As an aside, be sure to have lots of 
markers available at the party so everyone can leave their mark on everyone else.

Decor ...

eHow contributing writer Allana Baroni has written a great ehow step by step on how to decorate for a Hip-Hop Graffiti Themed Party . Rather than re-invent the wheel, here are her suggestions:

Step One
Think Soho loft space. Get rid of excess furniture, breakables and stainables. Throw white sheets over your furniture, rest blank canvases on easels (raid toy stores for inexpensive ones), and lay drop cloths on the floor to catch any drips (art supply stores carry this kind of stuff).

Step Two
Space 2 step ladders about 6 feet apart and rest planks across the steps to create the bar. New tin paint cans from the hardware store make great ice buckets and containers for bar supplies.

Step Three
Line a wall of the party area with matte black paper, sold by the roll, for guests to tag up with chalk. Make sure the paper isn't glossy, because the chalk won't stick if it is.

Step Four
Attach big sheets of plain white paper or muslin (found at art stores) to another wall for the paint and markers.

Step Five
Throw up outlines of letters and images for your taggers to fill in. It will help them overcome their fear of creativeness.

Step Six
If your guests want to tag it and take it, bust out the old jeans, T-shirts, thrift store purses, and athletic shoes. Have glittery and puffy fabric paints, paint pens and markers available (found at craft supply stores).

Costumes ...

These simple white t-shirts, shorts, and sweatpants are the perfect "costume" for both men and women at graffiti party!

Not to state the obvious but everyone knows that ultimately it is the people who make the party.  In order to attract an A-list crowd, year-long self promotion is a vital element to you pre-party planning. Although there are lots of promotional companies waiting to take your money, Greekgear.com is a fraternity and sorority superstore specializing in helping you to promote your house, your way.

A superhero theme party is another party very dependent on the costumes. Generally skimpy and/or skin tight the costumes and great drinks make the night.

Invitations …

Again, skip the invitations and present your invited guests with these Super Friends or Wonder Woman Rings which must be presented at the front door as their pass into the party.

Decor

If you are really doing up the decor, go for either an above the city lights kind of look like this one offered by Stumps Prom and Party (unfortunately, I cannot link directly to this decorating kit so you will need to search their site for “Above the City Lights” )

”

or use superhero party packs and decor, mixing the various characters together. If you don’t need paper goods just fill your ceilings with a few of the mylar balloons filled in with lots and lots of coordinating colored latex balloons…
