Below are 15 ideas for all ages, so all you have to focus on is actually throwing the perfect bash. You’re sure to find an epic theme for your next party!
Pop Art
Put together a strange Pop Art themed party. We know one person who used tons of Campbell’s soup cans for flowers. Maybe an NFT theme featuring The Bored Ape Yacht Club?
Flamingo Luau
Hawaiian parties are always great fun. One individual we know actually went so far as to hire an actual Hawaiian fire dancer to come in and entertain everyone. Granted that’s a little over the top, but you get the idea. Don’t forget the Hawaiian decorations and food!
1980s
Some of us are old enough to remember the 1980s, and the really Fab styles so popular at the time. Invite your guests to wear shoulder pads, “mom jeans” or bright neon colors.
Burning Man Meets Coachella
Burning Man and Coachella combine music, art, culture and community into truly unique experiences for all that attend. They have a carefree, relaxed vibe and they have generated tons of coverage these days through social media. Flex your creativity and encourage your guests to bring art, music or food of their own to share!
Barbie’s Dream House
Come on Now! Every Girl remembers her Barbie dream house. Bring on the pink! This theme is all about emulating Barbie’s signature hue and distinct retro vibe. Pink pillows, pink blankets and cute pink sunglasses complete the decor. Yes guys, you get to be Ken.
Superheroes
Use theme songs of villains and heroes as music. Food could be cookies in the shapes of icons, dishes with the colors that are common with superheroes, etc. Dress up as your favorite hero or villain and take your party Up, Up & Away!
Couture Balloons
You may have seen a clown make a balloon animal or helium-filled orbs drop from the ceiling, but here I am talking about balloons as couture fashion. Make your arrival in one of these and Instagram just might crash. Oh this could be so risque’!
Bubbles in Boca Raton (Retirement Theme)
Have everyone dress up as individuals who retired in Boca Raton, FL. Here’s how one attendee described this retirement themed party - “People dyed their hair silver, bought fake dentures, wore bright colors, glasses on chains, etc. The decor had homemade palm trees, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, pool floats…with a creative spin on AARP advertisements posted on the walls…”
Game of Thrones
Channel your inner Hot Pie and whip up some meat pies for your guests. Pick a side, House Stark or House Lannister. This one is another costume favorite that channels the whole meeting good vs. evil sort of vibe.
Car Theme
Here’s a professional party planner’s account of car themed get-together: “I once did a ‘car-themed event. Only it wasn’t for kids! It was a gentleman’s 40th birthday. We held the event at a car museum and had access to a secret vault of vintage collection cars for the cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner in the museum’s Porsche exhibit. It was such a great conversation starter for guests. We kept with the theme from beginning to end – from the invites to the limited edition hot wheel cars that I did for place cards!”
Masks & Mimosas
“The underlying theme is ‘Pamper Yourself’,” says one professional party planner who has done this frequently. ”I tell the ladies who attend to always be in a good mood and ready to laugh.” The best part about a pampering theme is that you don’t need to reserve a formal location; someone’s home will work just fine.”
Tropical Party
The Bash suggests using hula dancers to add a wow-factor to your tropical theme party.
James Bond
Celebrate your Birthday as James Bond. One person created a real scene by making his entrance by sliding down a 40ft steel fireman’s pole. He landed sitting down and was served a perfectly made dirty martini by a masked waiter. Now that is STYLE!
Silver Soiree
Glitter is the name of the game for this party theme. Have your friends come in their favorite silver ensembles, give everyone silver necklaces and hats to wear and hang silver streamers around your space.
Glow in the Dark
It’s gonna be glowsticks galore at your next Glow In The Dark-themed party! Or, buy a blacklight and have your friends wear all-white so they’ll glow from head to toe.
So, are your creative juices flowing now? Still need more ideas, or want to have Jindo as part of your next party?
