The pre-wedding festivities for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are in full swing, but we do not have anything except a video of the Backstreet Boys performing at the cruise party. After a grand celebration in Jamnagar, the Ambani family is now hosting this lavish event on a European cruise. This four-day extravaganza started yesterday and promises to be a spectacular affair.?While we all wait for the proper party videos and amazing outfit details of the celebs who attended, let's understand the theme of the celebration.?
Today, on the second day of the celebrations, the theme is "A Roman Holiday." Guests are expected to dress in stylish tourist outfits during the day. The highlight of the evening will be a toga party, a themed event inspired by ancient Roman attire.
A toga party is a costume party where attendees dress in togas, garments that resemble ancient Roman clothing, typically made from bed sheets. These parties are known for their fun, games, and often, excessive drinking. The concept became widely popular after the 1978 movie "Animal House," which featured a wild toga party thrown by the Delta House fraternity. Since then, toga parties have become a staple of college life.

Before modern toga parties, similar events called "bed sheet and pillow slip" parties were held by fraternal orders and civic groups.
