* The main reason that Wyatt Williams from 6teen doesn't like having birthday parties is because his family (or at least his parents) insist that they be themed parties--in [[BirthdayEpisode "Birthday Boy"]] [[AgelessBirthdayEpisode (which focused on Wyatt's birthday),]] Wyatt's family decided on a redneck/"trailer park" theme for his current birthday and Jen claims that at a previous birthday of Wyatt's, everything was colored brown.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' sees Raquelle, Barbie's [[TheRival rival]], inviting her and BlackBestFriend Nikki to a themed party. Nikki suspects a trap, and is proven right when Raquelle deliberately lies about the theme--it's "formal dress," and Barbie and Nikki show up in casual clothing. Barbie is CrazyPrepared, though, and reveals that said outfits can become beautiful ball gowns at a moment's notice. Raquelle repeatedly tries to change the theme to upstage them (she cycles through "pool party" and "enchanted mermaid"), but it turns out the outfits can change to match those themes, too.

For a themed party, several things are needed: dress code or costumes, fitting decor and props, fitting music and guests willing to dress up. And obviously, the theme.
Good old classics are WildWest parties; tropical Hawaiian parties for casual occasions or for summertime; there are Hollywood glamour parties or classic black-and-white parties for something more formal, or under-the-sea themed parties or wanderlust themed parties for avid adventurers and travellers. Young kids might want superhero parties and little girls usually appreciate [[PrincessPhase princess]] or unicorn parties. Popular themes are favourite books, films and shows ''du jour'' (for example, ''Literature/HarryPotter'' or ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and other fantasy often pop up in TheNewTens). It's often done for movie nights where the hosts and guests wear matching costumes while watching their favourite movies or shows (often a season premiere or finale). In fictionland, it often serves as a tribute and ShoutOut to creators' favourite fiction, countries and their cultures or various historical periods.
Themed parties take more effort than regular parties, but as everyone is willing to go the extra mile, it's supposed that it'll also be more fun. And it's a big win for the hosts: ''their party'' will be way more exciting and more memorable than any other party. The hostess will be the society queen for a really long time. Alternatively, it's often the loving parents who are willing to make their kid's birthday party extra special, making their child one of the most popular kids around. Such a party is usually treated as a SeriousBusiness by the hosts. The guests are likely to appreciate it, but it can be seen as an extra thing to worry about and in the end, the extra effort might not even be worth it. Usually it's a party for many people, but a more intimate version for couples or small families is also fairly common. It's usually done to show that the characters who throw such a party (or show up at one) are fun, fun-loving, playful and creative. Party poopers complain about those parties, refuse to wear a costume or they don't show up at all. If a regular party is going badly, a last-minute change to a themed party can be done as a saving throw.
Characters are supposed to wear CoordinatedClothes to show that they belong to one social group who attend the very same party. ItsACostumePartyISwear is a related prank trope: One character is lead to believe they're invited to a costume party with a theme, but in fact, it's a regular party and they end up humiliated.
It appears often for [[HighSchoolDance school dances]] and proms, and it can also pop up in {{Birthday Episode}}s or {{Holiday Episode}}s. For example, Halloween parties in {{Halloween Episode}}s can be done with a theme.
'''An important note:''' All Halloween costume parties, holiday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, baby showers pr even birthday parties are technically parties with a theme, however, this list collects examples that go a step above and have a specific '''motif''' chosen for the party.
MasqueradeBall, DecadeThemedParty and ThemedWedding are subtropes.

* ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'': Helen throws a lavish Parisian-themed bridal shower for Lillian. Paris and French-themed party was originally Annie's idea (because she and the bride are ChildhoodFriends and she knows her very well). Helen, Lillian's new BFF, originally turned it down and later takes the credit. Annie brings a heartfelt handmade gift but Helen upstages her, too, by giving Lilian a trip to Paris with herself.
* ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'': The high school kids discuss the theme of their prom and it's a serious business. It's supposed to be "Millennium", but it turns out another high school does that, too. Teachers suggest "Under the Sea" or decade-themed "the '80s", but the kids boo to those ideas. Josie suggests "Meant for Each Other": Famous couples throughout history. The kids love it but then they mostly dress in whatever costumes they like (e.g. Disco Barbie, Malibu Barbie, or Evening Gown Barbie). Josie and her date go as Rosalind and Orlando from Shakespeare's ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt''. The gym is decorated with pink and gold as colours of love.

For a themed party, several things are needed: dress code or costumes, fitting decor and props, fitting music and guests willing to dress up. And obviously, the theme.
Good old classics are WildWest parties; tropical Hawaiian parties for casual occasions or for summertime; there are Hollywood glamour parties or classic black-and-white parties for something more formal, or under-the-sea themed parties or wanderlust themed parties for avid adventurers and travellers. Young kids might want superhero parties and little girls usually appreciate [[PrincessPhase princess]] or unicorn parties. Popular themes are favourite books, films and shows ''du jour'' (for example, ''Literature/HarryPotter'' or ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and other fantasy often pop up in TheNewTens). It's often done for movie nights where the hosts and guests wear matching costumes while watching their favourite movies or shows (often a season premiere or finale). In fictionland, it often serves as a tribute and ShoutOut to creators' favourite fiction, countries and their cultures or various historical periods.
Themed parties take more effort than regular parties, but as everyone is willing to go the extra mile, it's supposed that it'll also be more fun. And it's a big win for the hosts: ''their party'' will be way more exciting and more memorable than any other party. The hostess will be the society queen for a really long time. Alternatively, it's often the loving parents who are willing to make their kid's birthday party extra special, making their child one of the most popular kids around. Such a party is usually treated as a SeriousBusiness by the hosts. The guests are likely to appreciate it, but it can be seen as an extra thing to worry about and in the end, the extra effort might not even be worth it. Usually it's a party for many people, but a more intimate version for couples or small families is also fairly common. It's usually done to show that the characters who throw such a party (or show up at one) are fun, fun-loving, playful and creative. Party poopers complain about those parties, refuse to wear a costume or they don't show up at all. If a regular party is going badly, a last-minute change to a themed party can be done as a saving throw.
Characters are supposed to wear CoordinatedClothes to show that they belong to one social group who attend the very same party. ItsACostumePartyISwear is a related prank trope: One character is lead to believe they're invited to a costume party with a theme, but in fact, it's a regular party and they end up humiliated.
It appears often for [[HighSchoolDance school dances]] and proms, and it can also pop up in {{Birthday Episode}}s or {{Holiday Episode}}s. For example, Halloween parties in {{Halloween Episode}}s can be done with a theme.
'''An important note:''' All Halloween costume parties, holiday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, baby showers pr even birthday parties are technically parties with a theme, however, this list collects examples that go a step above and have a specific '''motif''' chosen for the party.
MasqueradeBall, DecadeThemedParty and ThemedWedding are subtropes.

* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', Marty's Mom's prom is the "Enchantment Under The Sea" dance, and is ocean-themed.
* ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'': Helen throws a lavish Parisian-themed bridal shower for Lillian. Paris and French-themed party was originally Annie's idea (because she and the bride are ChildhoodFriends and she knows her very well). Helen, Lillian's new BFF, originally turned it down and later takes the credit. Annie brings a heartfelt handmade gift but Helen upstages her, too, by giving Lilian a trip to Paris with herself.
* ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'': The high school kids discuss the theme of their prom and it's a serious business. It's supposed to be "Millennium", but it turns out another high school does that, too. Teachers suggest "Under the Sea" or decade-themed "the '80s", but the kids boo to those ideas. Josie suggests "Meant for Each Other": Famous couples throughout history. The kids love it but then they mostly dress in whatever costumes they like (e.g. Disco Barbie, Malibu Barbie, or Evening Gown Barbie). Josie and her date go as Rosalind and Orlando from Shakespeare's ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt''. The gym is decorated with pink and gold as colours of love.
