Stuck for an idea for your next party?

Well then, I've got an idea for you. After a while everyone gets bored of doing the exact same things for birthday parties, and you can only go bowling so many times, so why not do something different? Have a bad taste party. This is incredibly simple, cheap, environmentally friendly and depending on how you go about it, you can also contribute money to charity.

Send out invites to all your mates telling them to dress up as horrifically as they can. The great thing is, you can get a whole outfit together for under fifteen dollars! This includes clashing jewellery, completely tastless clothes and an optional tutu if you're wanting to add another edge to your costume. All you need to do is go to your local Salvos, Vinnies, or your nearby op-shop. This way, not only are you getting great bargains, every dollar you spend goes to people that really need the cash! And, even better, once you've worn the stuff to the party you can give it right back!

Once you've got your outfit together, all you need to do is come up with a prize for the 'worst dressed'. This is easy, just find the ugliest possible item you can find [an old garden gnome or some other porcelain figure is perfect] and add a few little extras and you have your trophy!

The best thing? It's really environmentally friendly because you're re-using scarce resources, and it's great fun all round!

Enjoy, and make sure you have a camera with you, I can guarantee that there'll be heaps of photo opportunities!
