Themed Parties
Itās safe to say we love a themed soiree, who doesnāt? Thereās no doubt about it that a great theme will elevate your party or event from good to jaw-dropping. Itās always the best way to create the best atmosphere!
One of the hardest parts of party planning is coming up with a good theme in the first place. And the ideas to bring it to life. Thatās why weāve put together a list of some of our favourite party themes with some inspiration and ideas to get you started in your party planning process. Some of our favourite themes for parties and events:
1. Silent Movie
Canes at the ready. A beautiful black and white theme with all the old school glamour of Hollywood. Perfect for film fanatics with touches of movie-themed paraphernalia throughout. Film reels, fun title card style signage and stationery, a Hollywood walk of fame seating plan, and a black and white photobooth, red drapes and carpet on arrival ā complete with all the props a silent movie star might need!
2. Festival
Didnāt get tickets to Glastonbury? Throw your own mini back-garden version for you and your favourite people. Get a band to perform live, followed by a silent-disco DJ, or stream big acts āliveā on a big screen with flowing ciders, muddy wellies, flower crowns, a rustic festival bar and delicious street food. We love a festival flag too!
3. Masquerade Ball
Perfect for adding a twist to a black-tie event, gorgeous gowns and dinner jackets with the creative touch of a mask. Let your guests provide the dƩcor! Opulent ballroom style room theming with tall silver candelabras, ostrich feather centrepieces, glitzy place-cards and beautiful charger plates, crystal chandeliers and confetti filled balloons. Get ready to party!
4. Floral fantasy
Go wild for a while. Fill your space with an array of florals. Beautiful meadow style arrangements, cascading floral curtains, scented blooms, pretty printed linens, cocktails and canapes with edible flowers. A floral photo backdrop is a great way to get your guests snap-happy too!
5. Black and Gold
Totally stylish. Perfect in a dramatic and fantastically lit venue. Black linens, crisp white napkins with gold tassel ties and pretty gold tableware. Gold leaf desserts and gorgeous glassware. Perfectly glamourous. Finish it off with a stunning circular gold bar with a black and gold dancefloor, and youāve got a real party on your hands!
6. Casino Royale
The hottest, most glamourous casino in town! Get professional dealers and tables in for the full experience. Black jack, roulette and poker, just for fun, over plenty of bubbles. A jazz band plays while canapes and magicians circulate, which are sure to entertain guests not at the tables.
8. Pirates
A fun and creative theme ā creating your own Piratesā pub! With the venue dressed like an old tavern, a message in a bottle makes the perfect invite. Treasure chest style centrepieces filled with candles and jewels, ready for a banquet celebrating a successful voyage. Rum cocktails in skull glasses and goblets of wine are waiting so donāt be late, tide waits for no man.
