Want a honey before the holidays?  Got any mates in desperate need of matchmaking?  Are you itching to throw a themed party?  If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to get down and throw a traffic light party.

The concept is simple – guests dress according to their relationship status.  Green means go, red means taken, and yellow is for dating but uncommitted.  The colour scheme helps eliminate doomed advances before they begin, and you don’t need to ask new acquaintances potentially awkward questions.  Finally knowing whether or not your crush is available can be all the encouragement you need to make a move.  For all you single ladies out there, Ted Baker dresses are a sophisticated way to get your flirt on.  Ted Baker has a gorgeous cowl neck dress in green, complete with sexy dip in the back, that’s perfect both for a traffic light party and a traditional Christmas party.  Other cute green options include Miso’s adorable one shoulder dress – great for showing off your some unexpected skin – or funky green Fly boots for a biker chick vibe.

And to all of you happily unavailable ladies, remember that it’s still perfectly fine to shoot for a sexy look.  It’s a party, after all!  Red dresses for women are the perfect way to have innocent, stylish fun at a traffic light party.  If you want to be excruciatingly cute, you can coordinate a couple outfit and give your man a vest in the same shade of red.  Red dresses are also on trend for the upcoming holiday season parties, so your wardrobe will be fully prepared for the coming months.

Other fun ways to work the traffic light theme into your party are colour coded snack bowls – think green, red and yellow M&M’s – and different coloured drinks.  You can even make special green cocktails that may or may not have a little more kick than the others.  Have fun with it, and tell us if your party is a success!

Did you know?

In real traffic lights, the red contains a little orange and the green contains a little blue to help people who are colour blind.
