The “rhyme without reason” party theme is taking over. And, honestly? I’m into it. It’s refreshing to see a new theme amidst all of the same, boring frat parties we attend during the school year. However, with a theme party, it’s easy to procrastinate on a costume. So, if you find yourself invited to a rhyme without reason party with little time to prepare, I got you.
These costumes are simple and easy to put together, but still unique enough to stand out from the crowd. Happy rhyming, bestie!
- “Where’s Waldo” + Marilyn Monroe

A striped shirt with a matching hat, and a blonde wig with a white dress. So easy.

All you need are some cat ears and a fun leotard.

Literally so cute.

The fairy speaks for itself. But for dairy, dress in all white and carry around a gallon of milk.
- Rich Aunt + A Plant
-
Dress up in your most boujie attire, and don’t forget the sunglasses! Your partner can skirt by in all green, or a leaf-printed ensemble.
- A Flower + “In Power”

For the flower, all you need is a cute floral outfit. Your partner can show that they’re “in power” by rocking their best suit.
