12 Creative Red Flag Party Ideas to Get the Group Laughing

Looking for red flag party ideas to keep the trend going? We get it! Red flag parties are all the rage on TikTok, and they’re even more fun in person. The idea is to dress in a T-shirt upon which you’ve written your individual “red flag” – that unique reason why someone should maybe be just a teeny bit hesitant to date you.

Red flag parties aren’t meant to be cruel, but rather just a way to laugh at oneself and at online dating culture with a group of like-minded catfish – er, friends. Here we present a dozen creative red flag party ideas sure to get the crowd giggling. 

By the way, some of the funnier-slash-scarier red flags we’ve giggled at on social media include:

• Never been in a relationship
• Not the best driver
• I forget my wallet
• Always holding a fish

One of the most fun ways to throw a red flag party is to host it in a unique location, like a Peerspace.

You can communicate directly with the hosts as needed, peruse high-quality photos of each space, and read other renters’ reviews of the booking.
