Bad Taste Party

This party is an ode to the tacky and the cheesy. Whether dancing the Hustle, wearing huge jewellery and animal print or consuming jelly shots, the fun of this party comes from the 'wrong-ness' of it. Below are some tips and suggestions for holding a Bad Taste party, all in the very worst of taste.

Bad Taste Party Food

These ideas are more tacky than disgusting, in case you actually want to eat the food, but there is also some pretend disgusting food just for entertainment value.

• Drinks: Vodka Jelly shots, Passion Pop, West Coast Coolers and dated cocktails. Serve drinks in inappropriate glassware (eg plastic tumblers)
• Put cigarette butts on top of a cake.  Cut unlit cigarettes at an angle and place in the cake icing. Make sure you don't eat that part of the icing (unless, of course, you want to)
• Serve nuts in a NEW kitty litter container. Put some 'fun sized' chocolate bars in there and serve with a scoop (also new).
• Serve normal party food in the tackiest way possible. Serve chips in their packets, have a few chips already sticking out of the dip and have empty bottles already lying around.
