Simple Ideas for an Epic Toga Party

By Matt Holland

Toga parties have become an iconic gathering in popular culture and a staple college party theme used by fraternities and sororities in the United States. They offer a chance to be creative, let loose, and embrace ancient Greek vibes. However, planning the ultimate toga bash takes more than just wrapping yourself in a sheet. We’ve made a list of the essential toga party ideas to create a party worthy of a Greek god and goddess!

Toga Party Attire

Encourage all of your guests to dress in their best impressions of ancient Greek and Roman attire. A toga is obviously necessary, but you can also get creative with accessories fit for Mount Olympus.

Craft your toga

The toga itself typically consists of draped bed sheets creatively fashioned into an ancient-inspired outfit, but feel free to add some unique style and flair. While an all-white toga is classic, you can also use some color!

Style your outfit

You don’t have to think too much about what to wear to a toga party. However, you can take your attire to the next level with clever Greek and Roman-inspired accessories.

Toga Party Decor

Decorate with elements inspired by ancient Greece, such as columns, vines, and flickering torches, to create a Grecian-inspired ambiance that transports guests to Mount Olympus.

Fill your space with columns

Make your own large-scale columns or use a themed background to make the space feel as much like ancient Greece as possible.

Create the ambiance

Establish a luxurious Grecian vibe with fake torches, vines, and olive branches to evoke the rustic charm of a Mediterranean paradise.

Toga Party Entertainment

Although Grecian-inspired games and drinking contests are entertaining in their own right, it’s best to have multiple forms of entertainment for your guests.

Engage your party guests

Keep the toga-themed party alive with a DJ or party band. Or, set up a movie screen and show the classic toga party film Animal House!

Create a photo op

At a costume party, you have to provide an opportunity for a fun photo. Set up a photo booth with props and ancient Roman or Greek backdrops.
